1st step in naming a compound
name the metal
name the non-metal
change all ending to ide
identify if the compound is ionic or covalent
When naming ionic compounds the first element is:
a metal and change the ending to ide
non-metal
a metal and no changes
non-metal change ending to ide
An ionic compound is between
2-non-metals
2-metals
2-metalloids
metal and non-metal
Do not use__________when naming ionic compounds.
metals
polyatomics
non-metals
prefixes
When naming ionic compounds you must determine if the metal is a ___________metal
halogen
noble gas
transition
group 16 metal
Transition Metals are in
groups 13-18
groups 3-12
groups 1-3
groups 1&2
Transition Metals are
always positive but can vary
always negative but can vary
negative 1
+3
If your metal is a transition metal you must use _________to identify the charge.
whole numbers
roman numerals
positive and negative signs
digits
If the ionic compound has a polyatomic you
change the polyatomics ending to ide
look up the polyatomic and write it down after naming the metal
change the name of the metal to ide
change non-metal group to ide ending
If there are multiple elements after the metal, the multiple elements are
polyatomics
metalloids
a group of metals
always positive
If the metal is followed by ONE non-metal you should
write down the non-metal as it appears on the periodic table
change the non-metal ending to ite
change the ending of the non-metal to ide
change the metal ending to ate
A covalent compound is between
2-metals
2-non-metals
metal and non-metal
Non-metals are located
right of the staircase
left of the staircase
below the periodic table
the entire left side of the periodic table
Covalent compounds use
prefixes
metal names
metals name followed by non-metal name
no prefixes
In covalent compounds prefixes represent
the number of atoms of the first metal
How the compound is formed
the total number of atoms in the ionic compound
the number of atoms of each non-metal
Covalent compounds do not use _______ on the first non-metal
mono
prefixes
di
tri
In a covalent compound you should
not change the ending of the second non-metal
change the ending of the first non-metal to ide
leave the names of all non-metals the same.
change the ending of the second non-metal to ide
