Naming Aromatic Compounds Worksheet 1

Naming Aromatic Compounds Worksheet 1 – Naming compounds is an important idea in the field of chemistry. It involves the assignment of a unique name to compounds based upon its composition. When you name a chemical compound gives important information about its properties as well as its structure. There are many types of chemical substances, including Ionic compounds, covalent substances also known as binary compounds.

Naming Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are formed through moving electrons around atoms. They are made up made up of positively charged anion and negatively charged anions. The rules of naming ionic compounds are as the following:

1. Write the name for the anion first, then what is the name for the anion.
2. If the cation has more than one possible charge, indicate the charge using Roman numerals within parentheses.
3. If there is a possibility of polyatomic ion make use of the name for the ion.

Examples:

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

Naming Covalent Compounds

Covalent compounds arise from the sharing of electrons among atoms. They are made up of molecules composed up of two or more atoms. The rules for naming covalent compounds are as in the following order:

1. Name the first element of the formula.
2. Write“Element 2” as the title of the formula, and change the end“-ide” to “-ide”.
3. Prefixes can be used to indicate the amount of atoms found in every element of the molecular structure, except for“mono,” for example “mono-” for the first element.

Examples:

• CO2 is a carbon dioxide derived name.
• N2O is named dinitrogen monoxide.
• It is also known as sulfur hexafluoride.

Naming Binary Compounds

Binary compounds are the ones made of two components. The rules for the name of binary compounds are like:

1. Enter the name of the first element in the formula.
2. Write“Name” for second element of the formula, and change the ending“-ide” to “-ide”.

Examples:

• The term hydrogen chloride refers to the HCl.
• CO is the abbreviation for carbon monoxide.
• CaO is named calcium oxide.

Practice Exercises

To help reinforce learning this worksheet will offer drills for naming Ionic compounds, covalent compounds, along with binary and covalent compounds. The exercises will help students get a better understanding of the rules to name 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

Through these exercises, students will become more confident in the identification of chemical compounds, and will be able apply the rules to other compounds.

Conclusion:

Naming compounds is a crucial concept in chemistry , and needs a solid understanding the rules and guidelines for names for different kinds of compounds. Following the guidelines outlined in this worksheet and practicing through the exercises provided, students will be able to comfortably identify covalent, ionic, or binary compound. This is a must for an effective chemistry education and forms the foundation for future research in the field.
