Unit 4.1 Chemical Nomenclature

Learning Objectives-Chemical Nomenclature

You will be able to:

1. classify an ion as an anion or cation.
   write the Stock names for cations and name the ion and IUPAC names for anions.
   write formula for named ionic compounds including ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions.
   write the names given formula units.

2. write molecular formulas for named covalent compounds.
   write the names of given molecular formulas (for simple inorganic compounds).

3. write the name of compounds containing hydrogen both when hydrogen bonds with metals and nonmetals.
   write the name given the formula or formulas given the name for acids including acids of oxyanions.
