Rules For Naming Compounds

When both double bonds and carbonyl groups are present the en suffix. Each of these three has its own rules that cannot be mixed and matched.

Rules For Naming A Binary Ionic Compound Youtube

When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound.

Rules for naming compounds. Name the cation then the anion. First of all decide if the compound is ionic covalent molecular or an acid. For example sodium na and chloride cl together form sodium chloride.

If there is only one of the first element you can drop. Ionic first name is the name of the element written first or nh4 ammonium last name is the name of the element written last but with an ide ending sulfur becomes sulfide bromine becomes bromide fluorine becomes fluoride oxygen becomes oxide etc or if a group is written last use the group s name. Remove the ending of the second element and add ide just like in ionic compounds.

Fecl iron i chloride and fecl2 iron. When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound. You should recognize the mno 4 ion as permanganate.

Mono indicates one di indicates two tri is three tetra is four penta is five and hexa is six hepta is seven octo is eight nona is nine and deca is ten. Rules for naming molecular compounds. For ionic compounds with transition metals you need to insert a roman numeral after the name of the metal to indicate the transition metal s charge ex.

Basic naming convention first we ll cover how to name molecules with two elements binary compounds. If the compounds are negatively charged they are known as anions. If the element comes in front of the ion group the name of the element is simply added to the beginning of the compound name.

If the compounds are positively charged they are known as cations. Till now we have discussed basic rules required for iupac nomenclature of organic compounds that should be followed in a fixed order. The substitution on heteroatom atoms other than hydrogen and carbon are considered as heteroatoms.

Chemists have a specific way of naming compounds. The naming of compounds. The name of a compound with two elements has two words.

K is potassium so the compound is named potassium permanganate. There are a couple. An ionic compound is named by first giving the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion.

Rules for naming compounds. Now we will see few of the rules which may be required in organic chemistry naming in other situations. Here is an important list of rules to follow.

The name is built from the elements and the construction of the molecule. It is a standard method of naming compounds that is used by scientists around the world. The carbonyl group takes precedence over alkyl groups and halogen.
