 Lesson

7 Naming Compounds
Great job chemist! You have successfully answered the questions above.
Always remember that compounds are composed of two or more elements with a
specific ratio and held by a chemical bond. In naming compounds, there are set of
rules that must be followed, and we will discuss it one by one later. But first, answer
the activity below to check your learnings from previous lesson.

What’s In

In this part, let us try to become a chemist by doing this simple activity.

Activity 1: Molecular, Empirical, and Structural Formula

Directions: Complete the table in a separate sheet of paper by providing what is
asked in every column.

Molecular Empirical Structural

Compound
Formula Formula Formula
1. Ethane

2. Butane

3. Methane

4. Propane

5. Heptane

Notes to the Teacher

This module is composed of different activities about how to name
compounds and write their formulas. Utilization of different
resources is suggested.

10
 What’s New

Great work scientist! You can still recall your previous lessons.
This time, you are going to learn the set of rules in naming compounds given their
formula and writing formulas given their compounds by answering the prepared
activities for you.

1. Binary compounds
They are made up of two elements. The name of most binary compounds ends
with “ide”. It comes in three types. Type I, Type II, and Type III.

a. Type I Binary Compound

The metal present is usually found in either group 1 or group 2 on the periodic
table.

Rules for naming Type I binary compounds

1. The cation is always named after anion.

2. A simple cation is named from the name of the element.
3. A simple anion is named by taking the root name of the element and added
with “ide”.
4. Write the name for the compound by combining the names of the ions.

Examples:
Name the compound CaO.
 Ca is the chemical symbol for calcium.
 O is the symbol for oxygen, whose root is “ox”. Add the “ide” to get oxide.
 Put them together to get the name calcium oxide.

Write the formula for potassium sulfide.

 The chemical symbol of potassium is K. It belongs to Group 1A, therefore it
has an oxidation of +1.
 Sulfide is derived from sulfur, whose symbol is S and has oxidation of -2.
 So far we have, K+1 S-2
 The total positive charge must be balance the total negative charge. Therefore,
we need 2 atoms of K to give a total positive charge of +2.
 Putting it all together we have K2S.

Activity 1: Type I Binary Compounds

Objective: Name the compound given the formula and write the formula given the
name of the compound.

1. RbI ______________________ 4. Calcium bromide _______________________

2. NaH _____________________ 5. Magnesium chloride ____________________
3. NaBr _____________________ 6. Potassium nitride ______________________

b. Type II Binary Compound

The metal present is not found in either group 1 or group 2 on the periodic
table.

11
 Rules for naming Type II binary compounds

1. The cation is always named after anion.

2. A simple cation is named from the name of the element. Include a Roman
numeral to indicate the oxidation number (charge) on the metal cation.
3. A simple anion is named by taking the root name of the element and added
with “ide”.
4. Write the name for the compound by combining the names of the ions.

Roman numerals
1…I 6…VI
2…II 7…VII
3…III 8…VIII
4…IV 9…IX
5…V 10…X

Examples:
Name the compound PbS2.
 Pb is the chemical symbol for lead. It’s not in the 1st and 2nd column, therefore
a roman numeral is needed.
 S is sulfur, whose root is “sulf”. Added with “ide” to get sulfide.
 At this point we have lead (??) sulfide
 To find the Roman numeral…
 S has a charge of -2.
 There are 2 sulfur atoms so…. 2 x -2= -4. (total negative charge)
 The total positive charge must be +4.
 There is 1 lead atom so… +4 ÷ 1 = +4. The Roman numeral is IV.
 Put the pieces together to get the name lead (IV) sulfide.

Write the formula for lead (IV) nitride.

 The chemical symbol of lead is Pb. The oxidation state is +4.
 Nitride is derived from nitrogen, whose symbol is N. Its oxidation is -3.
+4 -3
 So far we have Pb N.
 The LCM of 4 and 3 is 12. We need three Pb atoms (+12÷ -4=3) and 4 N atoms
(-12÷-3=4) to balance the charges.
 Putting it all together we have Pb3N4.

Activity 2: Type II Binary Compounds

Objective: Name the compound given the formula and write the formula given the
name of the compound.

1. CuCl ______________________ 4. Cobalt (III) sulfide _____________________

2. Fe2O3 _____________________ 5. Nickel (II) Bromide ____________________
3. Cu3P _____________________ 6. Copper Oxide _________________________

12
c. Type III Binary Compound
Type III binary compounds made up of two non-metals. Molecular
compounds.

Rules for naming Type III binary compounds: the OLD SYSTEM
1. The first element in the formula is named first, and the full element name is
used.
2. The second element is named as though it were an anion: root + ide
3. Prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present. (See table below)
4. The prefix mono- is never used for naming the first element.

Prefixes
1… mono 6… hexa
2… di 7… hepta
3… tri 8… octa
4… tetra 9… nona
5…penta 10… deca
Examples:
Name the compound NO2.
 N is the chemical symbol of nitrogen. Since there is only one nitrogen atom
AND it is the first element the prefix mono is not used.
 O is the chemical symbol of oxygen, whose root is ox. Add ide ending to get
oxide. There are two oxygen atoms so we also add the prefix di to get dioxide.
 Put the pieces together to get the name nitrogen dioxide.

Write the formula for lead (IV) nitride.

 The chemical symbol of carbon is C. There is no prefix before carbon in the
chemical name, therefore, there is only 1 C atom in the chemical formula.
 Tetrachloride has the prefix tetra which means there are 4 atoms present.
Chloride is derived from chlorine, whose symbol is Cl. Thus, there are 4 Cl
atoms in the chemical formula.
 Putting it all together we have CCl4.

Activity 3: Type III Binary Compounds

Objective: Name the compound given the formula and write the formula given the
name of the compound.

1. V2S5______________________ 4. Antimony tribromide ___________________

2. Si2Br6 _____________________ 5. Selenium hexaflouride _________________
3. PI3 _____________________ 6. Sulfur dioxide _________________________

Note: Type III binary compound can be name using New System, which is actually
the same as the rules in naming Type II binary compounds. But remember
that only one system can be used at a time. Never Mix prefixes with Roman
numerals.

2. Ternary compounds
They are made up of three elements. The compounds usually contain
polyatomic ions.

13
 Ion is an atom with an electric charge (positive or negative). A polyatomic ion
is a group of atoms with an electric charge. (But even they are in a group they act as
a single atom). Almost all of the names of polyatomic ions end with –ate or –ite,
except for cyanide, hydroxide, and peroxide.

Rules for naming Ternary compounds

Follow the rules in naming Type I and Type II binary compounds but don’t
change the name of the polyatomic ion.

Examples:
Fe(NO3)3 → iron (III) nitrate
Mg(OH)2 → Magnesium (II) hydroxide
Na2SO3 → sodium sulfite
Calcium hydroxide → Ca(OH)2
lead (IV) sulfate → Pb(SO4)2

Polyatomic ions that Contain Oxygen have naming system also. The bases
for these are these two: the most common ion in each series and the number of
oxygen atoms compared to the most common ions. (Example of polyatomic ions:
PO43- (phosphate), SO42- (sulfate), NO3- (nitrate), ClO3- (chlorate), CO32- (carbonate).

Rules for Polyatomic ions that Contain Oxygen

One more oxygen that the most common --------------- per_____ate
Most common ----------------------------------------------- ________ate
One less oxygen than the most common ---------------- ________ite
Two less oxygens than the most common --------------- hypo ___ ite

Examples:
SO52- (persulfate),
SO42- (sulfate)
SO32- (sulfite)
SO22- (hyposulfite)

Note: Some of the ions do not really exist in real world, they are written here to show
how to use the naming system.

Activity 4: Ternary Compounds

Objective: Name the compound given the formula and write the formula given the
name of the compound.
1. Sr(C2H3O2)2________________ 6. Cadmium sulfite _______________________
2. Ag3PO4 ____________________ 7. Cobalt (II) carbonate____________________
3. Cu(NO2)2 __________________ 8. Potassium permanganate ______________
4. Mn3(PO4)2 ___________________________ 9. Cobalt (II) perchlorate __________________
5. K2CO3 ____________________________ 10. Sodium hypochlorite __________________

3. Naming Acids
All acids begin with H (hydrogen) and the names of all acids end with the word
“acid”. There are types of acid, first is the one that does not contain oxygen, and
second is the one that does not contain.

14
a. Acids that Do Not Contain Oxygen

Examples:
Name the compound HF.
 This is basically an acid since it starts with “H’’.
 Take the name of the anion (fluoride) add the prefix “hydro” and change its
end with “ic”: hydrofluoric
 Add the word “acid”, and we have now “hydrofluoric acid”.

Write the formula for hydrosulfuric acid.

 This is basically an acid since it starts with “H’’. The oxidation number of H is
+1.
 Remove the “hydro” and “ic”, we have sulfur. The oxidation number of sulfur
is -2.
 So far we have H+1 S-2
 Balance the charges (oxidation number) to get the formula H2S.

Activity 5: Acid that Do Not Contain Oxygen

Objective: Name the compound given the formula and write the formula given the
name of the compound.
1. HBr______________________ 4. Hydrophosphoric acid___________________
2. HI _______________________ 5. Hydrochloric acid ______________________
3. H2S _____________________ 6. Hydrocyanic acid _______________________

a. Acids that Do Contain Oxygen

Rules for naming acids that do contain oxygen
1. Find the name of the polyatomic ion
2. Change “ate”to “ic”or “ite”to öus
2. Add the word “acid”.
Examples:
Name the compound HClO4.
 This is basically an acid since it starts with “H’’.
 ClO4- is named perchlorate ion.
 Change the “ate”to “ic”and get perchloric.
 Add the word “acid” and we have now “perchloric acid”.

Write the formula for phosphorous acid.

 This is basically an acid since it starts with “H’’. The oxidation number of H is
+1.
 This is ternary acid since the prefic “hydro” (binary acid) is missing.
 Change “ous” to “ite”to get phosphite. Its formula is PO 3-3.
 Putting it together and Balance the charges (oxidation number) we get H3PO3.

Activity 5: Acid that Do Contain Oxygen

Objective: Name the compound given the formula and write the formula given the
name of the compound.
Rules for naming acids that do not contain oxygen
1. Take the name of anion, add the prefix “hydro” and change the ending into “ic”.
2. Add the word “acid”.

15
 1. HNO2 ______________________ 4. Nitric acid________________________
2. HClO_______________________ 5. Iodic acid ________________________
3. H2CO3 _____________________ 6. Acetic acid _______________________

What is It

How is Binary compounds different from Ternary compound?

Binary compound is usually composed of two elements while Ternary compound is
usually composed of polyatomic ions.

Binary compounds has three types: Type I (the metal forms only one type of cation),
Type II (the metal forms two or more types of cations), and lastly, Type III (contains
only nonmetals).

Type I (examples: RbI – rubidium iodide, Cao – calcium oxide).

Type II (examples: FeCl2 – Iron (II) chloride, PbS2 – lead (IV) sulfide).
Type III (examples: N2O – dinitrogen monoxide – OLD SYSTEM)
(examples: N2O – nitrogen (I) oxide – NEW SYSTEM)

Ternary Compound usually ends with –ate or –ite. Except for cyanide, hydroxide,
and peroxide. It usually follows the rules in Type I and II, but always remember don’t
change the names of polyatomic ions.

Common Polyatomic Ions

Formula Name
NH4+ Ammonia
C2H3O2- Acetate
O2- Oxide
CN- Cyanide
OH- Hydroxide

Acids usually yields hydrogen ions when in aqueous solution. All acids begin with H
(hydrogen) and all ends with acid.

In naming Acids without oxygen usually starts its name with “hydro” plus
the anion and ends with “ic”, then add the “acid”. (Ex. HF – hydrofluoric acid, HCN –
hydrocyanic acid).
In naming Acids with oxygen, know the name of the polyatomic ion, change
the “ate” to “ic” and “ite” to “ous”, and add the word acid. (Ex. H2SO3 – sulfurous
acid, H3PO3 – phosphorous acid).
