Naming Ions

Introduction to

Naming IONIC Chemical Compounds

​Metal names will always GO FIRST

• Metal names STAY THE SAME

​Non-metals

• Non-metals get a name change when they bond with Metals.

​Non-metals

• Non-metals name will change with a new -IDE ending

​Non-metals --> Bonded Anions

• Hydrogen --> HydrIDE

• Carbon --> CarbIDE

• ​Nitrogen --> NitrIDE

• ​Oxygen --> OxIDE

• ​Fluorine --> FluorIDE

• ​Phosphorus --> PhosphIDE

• ​Sulfur --> SulfIDE

• ​Chlorine --> ChlorIDE

• ​Selenium --> SelenIDE

• ​Bromine --> BromIDE

• ​Iodine -> IodIDE

• Non-metals will always be ​LISTED LAST

​Metal FIRST --> Non-Metal LAST + IDE

• Example: Table Salt

​

• NaCl = Chemical FORMULA

​

​Metal FIRST --> Non-Metal LAST + IDE

• Example: Table Salt

​

• NaCl = Chemical FORMULA

​

​Sodium ChlorIDE = Chemical NAME

A Periodic Table will help you!

Take one more look at the new -IDE anion names before you play:

​Non-metals --> Bonded Anions

• Hydrogen --> HydrIDE

• Carbon --> CarbIDE

• ​Nitrogen --> NitrIDE

• ​Oxygen --> OxIDE

• ​Fluorine --> FluorIDE

• ​Phosphorus --> PhosphIDE

• ​Sulfur --> SulfIDE

• ​Chlorine --> ChlorIDE

• ​Selenium --> SelenIDE

• ​Bromine --> BromIDE

• ​Iodine -> IodIDE
