Question
Answer
Naming Cations   Cations formed from metal atoms have the same name as the metal  
🗑
Naming Cations   If a metal can form different cations, the positive charge is indicated by a Roman numeral in parentheses following the name of the metal.  
🗑
Naming Cations   Cations formed from nonmetal atoms have names that end in -ium  
🗑
Naming Anions   The names of monatomic anions are formed by replacing the ending of the name of the element with -ide  
🗑
Naming Anions   Polyatomic anions containing oxygen have names ending in -ate or -ite  
🗑
Naming Anions   Anions derived by adding H+ to an oxyanion are named by adding as a prefix the word hydrogen or dihydrogen, as appropriate  
🗑
Naming Ionic Compounds   Names of ionic compounds consist of the cation name followed by the anion name.  
🗑
Naming acids   Acids containing anions whose names end in -ide are named by changing the -ide ending to -ic, adding the prefix hydro- to this anion name, and then following with the word acid  
🗑
Naming acids   Acids containing anions whose names end in -ate or -ite are named by changing -ate to -ic and -ite to -ous, and then adding the word acid.  
🗑
Naming binary molecular compounds   The name of the element farther to the left in the periodic table is usually written first  
🗑
Naming binary molecular compounds   If both elements are in the same group in the periodic table, the one having the higer atomic number is named first  
🗑
Naming binary molecular compounds   The name of the second element is given an -ide ending  
🗑
Naming binary molecular compounds   Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element  
🗑
Greek prefix, 1   Mono-

Greek prefix, 2   Di-
