Naming Compounds Mixed Practice Worksheet

Naming Compounds Mixed Practice Worksheet – Naming compounds is an important idea in the field of chemistry. It involves assigning a unique name to chemicals based on its composition. Names of compound provides important information about its properties and structures. There are several kinds that chemical compounds can be found, including Ionic compounds, covalent substances, and even binary compounds.

Naming Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are produced by electron transfer amongst atoms. They are composed of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The rules for naming Ionic compounds are as follows:

1. Write the name for the anion first, then names of anion.
2. If the cation could have multiple possible charges identify the charge by using Roman numerals in brackets.
3. For anion that is not a polyatomic ion identify the Ion.

Examples:

• NaCl is a name for sodium chloride.
• FeCl3 is named iron(III) chloride.
• Mg(NO3)2 is also known as magnesium nitrate.

Naming Covalent Compounds

Covalent compounds are formed by sharing electrons among atoms. They are made up of molecules composed comprising two or more atoms. The rules for naming compounds that are covalent are as like this:

1. Name the first element in the formula.
2. Enter“the name” for the 2nd element of the formula, and change the ending“-ide. “-ide”.
3. Use prefixes for the number of atoms for each element in the molecule, with“mono-” which indicates the number of atoms in the molecule “mono-” for the first element.

Examples:

• CO2 is the name given to carbon dioxide.
• N2O is named dinitrogen monoxide.
• It is also known as sulfur hexafluoride.

Naming Binary Compounds

Binary compounds are made of two components. The rules for the naming of binary compounds are as these:

1. Enter the name of the first element of the formula.
2. Write an appropriate name for each element of the formula, and change the end“-ide. “-ide”.

Examples:

• Hydrogen chloride is also known as hydrogen.
• CO is named carbon monoxide.
• CaO is also known as calcium oxide.

Practice Exercises

To strengthen the understanding in the classroom, the worksheet contains activities for practicing naming ionic chemicals, compound covalent also known as binary compounds. These exercises will help students improve their understanding of what rules are used for naming chemical compounds.

Ionic Compound Naming Exercises:

1. Na2S
2. KBr
3. CaF2
4. Al2O3

Covalent Compound Naming Exercises:

1. CO
2. SO2
3. N2O4
4. H2O2

Binary Compound Naming Exercises:

1. Cl2O7
2. P2S5
3. BrF3
4. NO

As they complete these exercises learners will become confident in understanding chemical compound names and be able to apply these rules to other compounds.

Conclusion:

Naming compounds is an important notion in chemistry and requires a thorough understanding of how to follow the guidelines and rules for creating names for different kinds and types of compounds. If you follow the rules laid out in this worksheet, and working using the provided exercises, students are able to effectively identify covalent, ionic, as well as binary substances. This is a must for success in chemistry and lays solid foundations for further studies in the area.
