Review Naming Chemical Compounds Worksheet

Review Naming Chemical Compounds Worksheet – Naming chemical compounds is an essential concept in the field of chemistry. It involves assigning an unique name to any chemical compound based on its composition. When you name a compound can provide important information regarding the properties and structure of the compound. There are a variety of chemical compound, including organic compounds, covalent ones in addition to binary ones.

Naming Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are formed by electron transfer from atoms. They are made up from positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The rules for naming ionic compounds are as these:

1. The name of the anion first, then names of anion.
2. If the cation contains multiple possible charges then indicate the charge using Roman numbers in parentheses.
3. For anion that is not a polyatomic ion refer to the name of ion.

Examples:

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

Naming Covalent Compounds

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

1. Write the name for the first element in the formula.
2. Enter the name of the second element in the formula, changing the ending to “-ide”.
3. Utilize prefixes to represent the amount of atoms that make up every element of the molecule, with“mono-,” the particular prefix “mono-” for the first element.

Examples:

• CO2 is named carbon dioxide.
• N2O is named dinitrogen monoxide.
• SHF is also known as sulfur Hexafluoride.

Naming Binary Compounds

Binary compounds are those made up of two elements. The rules for names of binary compounds can be described as below:

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

Examples:

• The chemical name for HCl is hydrogen chloride.
• CO is the name given to carbon monoxide.
• CaO is named calcium oxide.

Practice Exercises

To enhance the learning experience, the worksheet will include practices for naming ionic compounds, covalent compounds along with binary and covalent compounds. These exercises will help students build a solid 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
