Naming Compounds Worksheet H2o + Co2 – Naming compounds is a key concept in the field of chemistry. It involves giving a unique name to an chemical compound, based on its composition. The name of a chemical compound provides crucial information about its properties and structure. There are several kinds of chemical compounds. This includes those with ionic properties, covalent compound, along with binary and covalent compounds.
Naming Ionic Compounds
Ionic compounds are formed by electron transfer amongst atoms. They consist from positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The rules of naming ionic compounds are as according to:
- Write the name of compound first, and then it’s anion’s name.
- If the cation is charged with multiple possible charges mark the charge in Roman numerals in brackets.
- When the anion has a polyatomic ion, use the name of the ion.
Examples:
- NaCl is also known as sodium cyanide.
- FeCl3 is known as iron(III) chloride.
- Mg(NO3)2 is also known as magnesium-nitrate.
Naming Covalent Compounds
Covalent compounds are created through the sharing of electrons between atoms. They are composed of molecules made comprised of two or three atoms. The rules for naming covalent compounds are as according to:
- Write the name for the first element of the formula.
- Enter“Element 2” as the title of the formula, and change the end“-ide” to “-ide”.
- Utilize prefixes to represent the number of elements in every element of the molecule. Except for the prefix “mono-” for the first element.
Examples:
- CO2 is also known as carbon dioxide.
- N2O is named dinitrogen monoxide.
- This is known as sulfur hexafluoride.
Naming Binary Compounds
Binary compounds are those made from two elements. The rules for the naming of binary compounds are as the following:
- Name the first element of the formula.
- Write your name for the element in the formula, changing the ending in the form of “-ide”.
Examples:
- Hydrogen chloride is the name given to it.
- CO is named carbon monoxide.
- Calcium oxide is also known as.
Practice Exercises
To help reinforce learning to reinforce the learning, the worksheet will contain an exercise to practice naming ionic compound, compounds with covalent bonds, also known as binary compounds. The exercises will help students improve their understanding of the rules of naming chemical compounds.
Ionic Compound Naming Exercises:
- Na2S
- KBr
- CaF2
- Al2O3
Covalent Compound Naming Exercises:
- CO
- SO2
- N2O4
- H2O2
Binary Compound Naming Exercises:
- Cl2O7
- P2S5
- BrF3
- NO
As they complete these exercises students will gain confidence in formulating chemical names and be able to apply the rules to other chemical compounds.
Conclusion:
Naming compounds is an essential concept in chemistry that requires a clear understanding of these rules as well as guidelines to making names for various kinds of compounds. Following the guidelines laid out in this worksheet, and working with the included activities, students will be able to successfully identify ionic, chemical, or binary compound. The knowledge gained is essential for succeeding in chemistry and creates an excellent foundation for future studies in the area.
