 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the chemical compounds. The scope of this module allows you to use it in different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The
lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which
you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook in Chemistry.

Lesson
Binary Compounds: Naming
1 and Writing

The elements in the periodic table undergo the process of sharing or donating
electrons in order to form a compound. This compound has to carry a new name based on
the formula it will form.

What’s In

What is in a name? As you go along with this activity sheet, I would like you to recall
how your parents were able to come up with your name. Did you ever ask them why such a
name was given to you? Well, it is because you are unique and they wanted you to be
different from other people. Same is true with the substances (an element or a compound)
that we encounter every day. They also carry a special name based on their property or
characteristic.

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

What’s New
 Activity 1. Unscramble Me
Directions: Unscramble the word below to go through world of chemicals. Write your
answers on the space provided.

2. ONIIC _________________________________________
3. IODOTNAIX _________________________________________
4. LENTMONA _________________________________________
5. SNITORTIAN _________________________________________

What is It

Do you want to know how did carbon dioxide get its name from CO2? Carbon is
classified as a nonmetal and has 4 electrons surrounding its nucleus in which these
electrons are looking for their pair. While oxygen, which is also a nonmetal, has 6 electrons
moving around its nucleus where 2 of its electrons are unpaired. After sharing their unpaired
electrons, they become stable. This is now the time that a compound is formed, a covalent
binary compound. Meanwhile, when a metal ion finds stability with a nonmetal ion an ionic
binary compound is formed. This is true with the salt that mother uses to make our food
tasty. Sodium, Na, is a metal looks for chlorine, Cl, which is a nonmetal. By sharing their
unpaired electron they would become stable. The electrons that surround the nucleus are
called the valence electrons, while the unpaired electrons are called covalency. Study the
formation below so you can understand better:

K+ and Cl- (K+) (Cl-) or KCl Potassium chloride

(+1) + (-1) = 0
 Ca2+ and Br_ (Ca2+) (Br_)2 or CaBr2 Calcium bromide

(+2) + 2(-1) = 0

Mg2+ and N3_ (Mg2+)3 (N3_)2 or Mg3N2 Magnesium nitride

The above binary compounds contain metals with fixed oxidation numbers. How
about metals with variable oxidation numbers (transition metals)? The same procedure is
followed in formula writing, except that in naming, the oxidation number must be specified.

There are two methods of specifying oxidation numbers - the stock system and the
classical –ous or –ic system. In the stock system, the oxidation number of the metal is
indicated by a roman numeral in parentheses. The suffixes –ous and –ic are used to denote
the lower and higher oxidation states, respectively.

◼ These compounds are named using the following form:

+ +

Consider the following examples: Classical name Stock system

Cu1+ O2- Cu2O Cuprous oxide Copper (I) oxide

Fe3+ O2- Fe2O3 Ferric oxide Iron (III) oxide

The type of bond between two nonmetals is generally covalent in nature. Recall how
you determine the formula of covalent compounds using the Lewis electron dot structure.
Naming covalent compounds containing two elements is similar to naming ionic compounds
except that Greek prefixes are used. Such as mono- for 1, di- for 2, tri- for 3…and so on.

Here’s how to make it easier: Name of Cation

FOR NOMENCLATURE:

1. Binary Salts- Metal name + root word of nonmetal + -ide

 Ex: Na2S – sodium sulfide

V3N2 – vanadium nitride

2. Fixed Metal:
Metal name (oxidation number) + root word of nonmetal + -ide

a. Metal Latin name (-ous) + root word of nonmetal + -ide

b. Metal Latin name (-ic) + root word of nonmetal + -ide

classical name stock system name

Ex: Fe2S3 – ferric sulfide or iron (III) sulfide

HgO – mercuric oxide or mercury (II) oxide

3. Bases – Metal name + hydroxide

Ex: Ba(OH)2 – barium hydroxide

Al(III)OH – aluminum hydroxide

4. Binary Acids – Hydrogen + root word of nonmetal + -ide (Salt name)

Hydro + root word of nonmetal + -ic acid (acid name)

Ex: HBr – hydrogen bromide (SN) ; hydrobromic acid (AN)

H2S – hydrogen sulfide (SN) ; hydrosulfuric acid (AN)

FOR WRITING FORMULAS (Crisscross Method)

1. Overall charge of the ions, must be equal to ZERO.

2. If charges cancel or are the same, just write the symbols.
3. If NOT, crisscross the charges to find the subscripts
Use parenthesis in the case of bases (hydroxide – OH)
The metal (CATION) must be written first followed by the nonmetal
 Example 1: Al+3 and OH-1 Al+3 OH-1

The compound’s formula now becomes Al(OH)3

Example 2: Mg2+ and N3_ Mg2+ N3_

Therefore the compound becomes Mg3N2
