Naming Acids and Bases

This video tutorial covers the naming conventions for acids and bases. It explains how to identify whether a compound is an acid or a base and provides rules for naming them. Bases are named as ionic compounds, while acids are categorized into binary and ternary acids, each with specific naming rules. Binary acids consist of two elements and are named with 'hydro-' and '-ic' suffixes. Ternary acids involve more than two elements and require the use of polyatomic ion charts. The tutorial also covers converting names back into chemical formulas, ensuring compounds are neutral by balancing charges.

What is the first step in naming a base?

• Identify if it is a binary acid

• Name it as an ionic compound

• Use the polyatomic ion chart

• Add 'hydro' prefix

How do you name a binary acid?

• Add 'ate' suffix

• Use the polyatomic ion chart

• Add 'hydro' prefix and 'ic' suffix

• Use the suffix 'ous'

What suffix is used for polyatomic ions ending in 'ate' when naming acids?

• 'ous'

• 'ic'

• 'hydro'

• 'ate'

What is the suffix change for polyatomic ions ending in 'ite' when naming acids?

• 'hydro'

• 'ous'

• 'ate'

• 'ic'

Which of the following is an exception to the acid naming rule?

• Fluorine

• Chlorine

• Sulfur

• Nitrogen

When naming ternary acids, which prefix should not be used?

• 'per'

• 'meta'

• 'hydro'

• 'hypo'

Which element's acids require adding extra letters for naming?

• Iodine

• Chlorine

• Bromine

• Phosphorus

What is the charge of hydrogen in acid formulas?

• +1

• 0

• -1

• +2

What method is used to ensure the compound is neutral when converting names to formulas?

• Crisscross method

• Polyatomic method

• Binary method

• Hydro method

What should you do if an acid name starts with 'hydro'?

• Combine hydrogen with one other element

• Add 'ate' suffix

• Use the polyatomic ion chart

• Use the crisscross method
