Naming Compounds Worksheet Ch 19.4

Naming Compounds Worksheet Ch 19.4 – Naming compounds is an essential idea in the field of chemistry. It involves granting a unique name to each chemical compound according to its composition. A name for a chemical compound is a crucial indicator of the properties and structure of the compound. There are many kinds of chemical compounds. They include covalent compounds, ionic compounds along with binary and covalent compounds.

Naming Ionic Compounds

The Ionic compound is formed by electron transfer amongst atoms. They are composed in positively charged caustics and negatively charged anion. The rules used to name ionic compounds are as they are:

1. Write the name for the initial cation, followed by the name of the anion.
2. If the cation contains more than one charge identify the charge by using Roman numbers enclosed in parentheses.
3. The anion must be a polyatomic ion choose the name of the Ion.

Examples:

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

Naming Covalent Compounds

The formation of covalent compounds is caused by the sharing of electrons among atoms. They consist of molecules made consisting of two or more atoms. The rules for naming covalent compounds are as follows:

1. Then write the name of first element of the formula.
2. Write“ide” in place of “ide” in the formula, and change the end“-ide. “-ide”.
3. Utilize prefixes to represent the number of atoms in every element of the molecule. Except for“mono-” for the first element “mono-” for the first element.

Examples:

• CO2 is also known as carbon dioxide.
• N2O is named dinitrogen monoxide.
• The term SF6 stands for sulfur hexafluoride.

Naming Binary Compounds

Binary compounds are made up of two elements. The rules for the name of binary compounds are the following:

1. Write the name and the first element in the formula.
2. Write“double element” of the formula, changing the end“-ide. “-ide”.

Examples:

• The name HCl refers to hydrogen chloride.
• CO is named carbon monoxide.
• CaO is a name for calcium oxide.

Practice Exercises

For reinforcement of learning The worksheet will provide activities for practicing naming ionic compound, compounds with covalent bonds or binary substances. 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

After completing these tasks, students will improve their confidence making chemical compounds known and be able to apply these rules to other compounds.

Conclusion:

Naming compounds is an essential notion in chemistry and requires a clear understanding of these rules as well as guidelines for creating names for different kinds and types of compounds. By following the rules outlined in this worksheet, and working with the included exercises, students are able to comfortably identify covalent, ionic or binary compound. This knowledge is crucial for being successful in chemistry. It provides solid foundations for further studies in the field.
