Naming ionic/molecular compounds and acids

:((

molecular compound

• non-metal and non-metal

• share electrons in the valance shell

• uses prefixes when naming the compound

ionic compound

• metal and non-metal

• transfers electrons

• does not use prefix

ionic compound rules

• metal and non-metal

• binary compounds end in “ide”

• metal (cation) first, non-metal (anion) last

molecular compound rules

• non-metal and non-metal

• add a prefix to the element(s)

  • do not add a prefix if there is only one of the first element

  • modify prefix if there is a vowel

• binary compounds end in “ide”

acids rules

• ending with “ate” replaced by “ic”

• ending with “ite” replaced by “ous”

• ending with “ide” starts with “hydro”

monatomic atom rules for acids

• ending in ”ide” replaced by with “ic”

• starts with “hydro”

• replace the ending of any singular elements with “ic”

polyatomic atoms rules for acids

• ends with “ite” replaced with “ous”

• ends with “ate” replaced with “ic”

• replace ending of any polyatomic elements
