Term
Nomenclature
Definition
a systematic method of naming chemical compounds
Term
organic compounds nomenclature
Definition
organic compounds are carbon containing;
C first, then H, then others in alphabetical order
Term
inorganic compounds nomenclature
Definition
composed of elements other than carbon (exceptions: CO, CO2, CO3 ^2-, CN-);
naming rules are different for ionic and molecular compounds;
metal + nonmetal--> ionic compound
nonmetal + nonmetal --> molecular
nonmetal + metalloid- -> molecular compound
Term
ionic compounds nomenclature
Definition
cation first, then anion
Term
monoatomic ions
Definition
formed from single atom;
usually main group elements;
cation charge = its group #
anion charge = group # - 8
Term
monatomic anion
Definition
stem name of element plus -IDE
Term
monoatomic cation
Definition
name same as element, unless more than one cation of element, then use stock system
Term
polyatomic ions
Definition
two/ more atoms chemically bonded together and carrying a net electric charge;
many are oxoanions (composed of oxygen and one other element)- know the ones on the poly atomic ion list
Term
binary molecular compounds nomenclature
Definition
Term
inorganic acids
Definition
Term
hydrates
