Naming Compounds Chart Worksheet

Naming Compounds Chart Worksheet – Naming compounds is a fundamental idea in the field of chemistry. It involves granting a unique name to compounds based upon its composition. A name for a chemical compound provides important information about its properties and structures. There are a variety of chemical compounds. This includes Ionic compounds, covalent compounds, and even binary compounds.

Naming Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are formed through an exchange of electrons among atoms. They consist mostly of positively charged electrons and negatively charged anion. The criteria for naming ionic compounds are as like this:

1. The name of the an atom first, followed by an anion’s name.
2. If the cation could have more than one possible charge mark the charge in Roman numerals in parentheses.
3. If there is a possibility of polyatomic Ion, identify the Ion.

Examples:

• NaCl is also known as sodium chloride.
• FeCl3 is also known as iron(III) chloride.
• Mg(NO3)2 is known as magnesium nurate.

Naming Covalent Compounds

The formation of covalent compounds is caused by the sharing of electrons among atoms. They are made up of molecules composed by two or many atoms. The rules for naming covalent compounds are as these:

1. Enter the name of the first element of the formula.
2. Enter“Element 2” as the title in the formula, changing the end“-ide “-ide”.
3. Prefixes indicate the number of elements in each element in the molecular structure, except for“mono-” which indicates the number of atoms in the molecule “mono-” for the first element.

Examples:

• CO2 is a carbon dioxide derived name.
• N2O is named dinitrogen monoxide.
• The name SF6 refers to sulfur hexafluoride.

Naming Binary Compounds

Binary compounds are compounds made from two elements. The rules for using the term binary compound are as according to:

1. Write the name of the first element in the formula.
2. Enter“I” as the title of your second ingredient in the formula, and change the ending“-ide “-ide”.

Examples:

• The term hydrogen chloride refers to the HCl.
• CO is known as carbon monoxide.
• CaO is the term used to describe calcium oxide.

Practice Exercises

To strengthen the understanding and reinforce learning, the worksheet includes activities for practicing naming ionic chemicals, compound covalent, along with binary and covalent compounds. The exercises will assist students to develop a solid understanding of the rules of 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

Through these exercises, learners will become confident in naming chemical compounds and will be able apply the rules to other compounds.

Conclusion:

Naming compounds is an essential idea in chemistry that requires a clear understanding of specific rules to creating names for different kinds and types of compounds. In following the principles laid out in this worksheet, and working by using the included exercises, students can comfortably identify covalent, ionic also binary compounds. This is vital for successful chemistry, and it will lay solid foundations for further research in the field.
