Ionic Binary Compounds Nomenclature

Ionic Binary compounds are named by calling its metallic ion first Then followed by its non-metallic anion.
METAL NAME + NON-METALLIC NAME + suffix -IDE
OR

NAMA LOGAM + NAMA NON LOGAM + akhiran - IDA

Example : 1. NaCl
Answer:
METAL NAME + NON-METALLIC ANION NAME

NaCl Metal : Sodium Non-metal : Chloride Ion compound name : Sodium Chloride NaCl Logam: Natrium Non-Logam : Klorida Nama senyawa kimia : Natrium Klorida

2. MgBr2
Answer: MgBr2 Metal : Magnesium Non-metal : Bromide Ion compound name : Magnesium Bromide MgBr2 Logam: Magnesium Non-Logam : Bromida Nama senyawa kimia : Magnesium Bromida

Ionic Binary Compounds Nomenclature For The Compound that has 2 type cation
IUPAC NAME TRIVIAL NAME

Formula :

Formula :

Metal Name + (Roman number) + Metal name + suffix ide

Metal name (Latin name) + suffix -ous / -ic + Metal name + suffix - ide

Note : Suffix -ous : for low oxidation number -ic : for high oxidation number

Example : FeCl2 and FeCl3

IUPAC NAME TRIVIAL NAME

1. FeCl2 = Fe2+ + 2ClFe2+ = Iron (II) 2Cl- = Chloride The compounds has name Iron (II) Chloride Besi (II) Klorida 2. Fe Cl3 = Fe3+ + 3ClFe3+ = Iron (II) 3Cl- = Chloride The compounds has name Iron (III) Chloride Besi (III) Klorida

1. FeCl2 = Fe2+ + 2ClFe2+ = Ferrous (low) 2Cl- = Chloride The compounds has name Ferrous Chloride Fero Klorida 2. Fe Cl3 = Fe3+ + 3ClFe3+ = Ferric 3Cl- = Chloride The compounds has name Ferric Chloride Feri Klorida

Covalent Binary Compounds Nomenclature

The naming of covalent binary compounds are related with the forming elements and its amount of atoms. The quantty of atoms is written in greek.
Quantit y of Atoms 1 2 3 4 5 Greek Prefix Mono Di Tri Tetra Penta Quantit y of Atoms 6 7 8 9 10 Greek prefix Hexa Hepta Octa Nona Deca

(Greek prefix of the 1st elements, except mono) (1st non metal Element) + (Greek prefix of 2nd element) (2nd non metal element) + suffix -ide

Example:
1. Define the chemical name of N2O3 Answer: N2O3
Element N (Nitrogen) O (Oxygen) Atomic Number 2 (di) 3 (tri)

So, N2O3 has compounds name: Dinitrogen trioxide Dinitrogen trioksida

Example: 2.Define the chemical name of CO2 and CO

Answer : CO2
Element C (Carbon) O (Oxygen) Atomic Number 1 (but not use Mono) 2 (di)

Answer : CO
Element C (Carbon) O (Oxygen) Atomic Number 1 (but not use Mono) 1 (mono)

So CO2 compounds has name : Carbon Dioxide Karbon Dioksida

So CO compounds has name : Carbon Monoxide Karbon Monoksida

Naming for Acid Compound

In aqueous (aq) In gas (g)

Formula :

Formula :

Hydro- + non metal name (except H) + suffix ic + acid

Hydrogen + non metal name (except H) + suffix ide

Naming for Acid Compound

In aqueous (aq) In gas (g)

1. HCl H = Hydro Cl = Chloride + -ic = Chloric The name of compounds Hydrochloric Acid Indonesian : Asam Klorida
2. H2S H = Hydro S = Sulfide + -ic = Sulfuric The name of compounds Hydrosulfuric Acid Indonesian : Asam Sulfida

1. HCl H = Hydrogen Cl = Chloride The name of compounds Hydrogen Chloride Indonesian :Hidrogen Klorida
2. H2S H = Hydrogen S = Sulphide The name of compounds Hydrogen Sulphide Indonesian :Hidrogen Sulfida

Example:
Na2CO3 Cation(metallic element) : Na+ (sodium) Anion (polyatomic ion) : CO32- (Carbonate) Compound name : Sodium Carbonate (not disodium carbonate) Indonesian : Natrium Karbonat Ca(OH)2 Metal name : Ca (calcium) Compound name : Calcium Hydroxide (not calcium dihydroxide) Indonesian : Kalsium hidroksida

The element has 4 anion

Define the chemical name of NaClO, NaClO2, NaClO3 and NaClO4 Answer: NaClO = Sodium Hypochlorite
Indonesian = Natrium hipoklorit

NaClO2= Sodium Chlorite

Indonesian = Natrium Klorit

NaClO3 = Sodium Chlorate

Indonesian = Natrium Klorat

NaClO4 = Sodium Perchlorate

Nomenclature of Polyatomic Acid Compounds

The nomenclature of polyatomic acid comounds (oxy acid compound) is similar with binary acid that is by defining the polyatomic anion then the H elements (acid). 1. For the element has 1 anion :
Polyatomic anion name + suffix ic + acid

2. For the element has 2 anion :

Polyatomic anion name + suffix -ous / -ic + acid

Nomenclature of Polyatomic Acid Compounds

3. For the element has 4 anion : a. First (Lowest) cation
Prefix Hypo- + Polyatomic anion name + suffix ous + acid

b. Second cation
Polyatomic anion name + suffix ous + acid

c. Third cation
Polyatomic anion name + suffix -ic + acid

d. Fourth (Highest) cation

Prefix Per- + Polyatomic anion name + suffix -ic + acid

Example:
1. Define the chemical name of H2CO3

Answer: H2CO3 Polyatomic Anion : CO32- (carbonate) Compound name : Carbonic acid Indonesian : Asam karbonat

Example:
2. Define the chemical name of H2SO3 and H2SO4
