Rules for Naming Compounds
‘A. Binary Compounds Containing a Metal and a Nonmetal (ionic compounds)
1. Name of cation is given first (same as name of element)
2. Name of anion is given second
i. Monoatomic anions end in ~ide
ji, Polyatomic ion names do not change
B. Binary Compounds between Two Nonmetals (molecular compounds)
1. Prefixes are used to specify the number of each atom present
i.e, I-mono, 2=di, 3=tri, 4=tetra, S=penta, 6~hexa, 7=hepta, S=octa
2. If first atom is a single atom then prefix “mono” is omitted
Bules for Writing Formulas
‘A. Ionic Compounds
1 Sunmof charges of all ions must equal zero i.e. total negative charge of
ail anions must cancel the total positive charge of all cations
2. Use subscripts to indicate the presence of more than one ion
3. Polyatomic ions must be in parentheses if subscripts are used._ibreTexts:

Combination reactions
‘A compound is synthesized or formed from two or more substances, e.g.
+0, > C0,
2H, +0, 21,0
2Mg-+0, —+ 2MgO
2Na+Cl, —> 2NaCl

Decomposition reactions
‘The decomposition reactions are the reverse of the combination reaction, i.e, one compound splits apart into two or more
substances, usually by heating, e.g:a0,“ ca0-+.60,

Double replacement reactions or metathesis involve the mutual exchange of partners between two substances, e.g. the following
precipitation reactions:

Na,CO,(aq) + CaCl, (aq) —> CaCO, (s)} +2NaCl(aq)
Combustion reactions
Combustion isa reaction of a substance with oxygen, often with the formation of flame and release of much heat, ¢.g:

Classification of chemical reaction
The chemical reactions are generally classified based on what exchanges during the reaction. ‘These include
1. the transfer of electrons in oxidation-reduction reactions,
2Z. wansier of protons in acid-base reactions, and
3.a part of reactants mutually exchanges in precipitation reactions, as described belowx 6
