Intro to Inorganic Chemical NomenclatureChemical Formulas of Binary Compounds:
Binary compounds are made of two different kinds of atoms.
A chemical formula tells us which atoms and how many atoms of each kind are present in a chemical compound.
Look at the structure of a water molecule.
Each water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
A subscript of ‘1’ is never written in formulas.
Look at the formulas on the right and identify the error in each.

Electronegativity (EN) values of A-group Elements H2OEN: 2.1 (H) < 3.5 (O)
The less EN atom is listed first.
Practice:Write the formula of a compound made of …• one S & two Na atoms Na2S 1.0 (Na) < 2.5 (S)
• one P & three Br atoms PBr3 2.1 (P) < 2.8 (Br)
• two Cl’s & one Mg atom MgCl2 1.2 (Mg) < 3.0 (Cl)
In formulas of ionic compounds, symbols of metals precede nonmetals because all metals have lower EN values than any nonmetal.
5
Chemical Formulas of Binary Compounds
Use the table of EN values to write the chemical formulas of the compounds shown below…
EN: Al (1.5) < O (3.5)
Al2O3
C (2.5) < O (3.5)
CO2
Ca (1.0) < F (4.0)
CaF2
Some Exceptions in Chemical Formulas of Binary CompoundsThe least Electronegative atom in binary compounds are usually listed first, but there are a few historical exceptions …• In the formulas of hydrocarbon compounds (abbreviated HC’s), which are
compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon, C (EN=2.5) is listed before H (EN=2.1), even though C has the higher EN value.
• Most formulas of binary compounds, in which H is listed first, are acids, such as hydrochloric acid, HCl and hydrofluoric acid, HF.
• HC’s are not acidic so their H’s are listed last.
CH4, methane, is the major component of natural gas.
C2H6, ethane is the 2nd largest component of natural gas
6
7
More Exceptions in Chemical Formulas of Binary Compounds• In the formulas of binary compounds containing nitrogen, N is usually
listed first regardless of its EN value.
• Ammonia, NH3, is not acidic. It’s a moderately strong base.
• Listing H first would make ammonia look acidic … H3N
In ammonia, NH3, EN N (3.0) > H (2.1), but N is written first.
In N2O5, N (3.0) < O (3.5)N is less EN and written first.

Naming Binary Compounds
There are three systems for naming binary compounds
1. The Stock System (the most comprehensive)e.g., sodium chloride
2. The Prefix System (for nonmetal compounds only)e.g., carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
3. The ous-ic system (has limited use)e.g., ferrous oxide, ferric oxide
9
The Stock System for Naming Binary CompoundsCaCl2 = calcium chloride Al2O3 = aluminum oxide
name of less EN atom first
name of more EN atom ends in ‘ide’
a space between
name of less EN atom first
name of more EN atom ends in ‘ide’
a space between
chlorine chloride oxygen oxide• In ionic compounds (made of metal cations, ⊕ and nonmetal anions, ⊖), the less
EN atom is a metal cation, and the more EN atom is a nonmetal anion.• The name of the metal cation is the same as the element’s name but the anion’s
name ends in ‘ide’.• Note that the Stock system name does not tell us the relative number of atoms in
the formula. This will be explained later.

The less EN atom is first (using the atom’s name). The more EN atom is last (using the anion’s ‘ide’ name).
12
Writing Chemical Formulas of Binary CompoundsIn order to write formulas and name compounds, you will need the ‘oxidation numbers’ (Ox #’s) of the atoms/ions in a compound.
Ox #’s are explained in detail in a video entitled ‘Oxidation Numbers’ and will only be discussed briefly in this lesson.
What is an oxidation number (Ox #)?Ox # is a charge assigned to an atom or ion in a compound.All pure elements have an Ox # = 0, e.g., Ox # Cu=0, H2=0, S8=0.About 20 elements have only one Ox # (fixed Ox #’s), other than 0, and they must be memorized, but it is easy to do so if you learn their position on the periodic table.The Ox #’s of other atoms/ions are calculated from the chemical formula.

Writing the Formulas of Binary Compounds•Chemical formulas represent the smallest whole number ratio of atoms/ions in a compound.•The positive and negative charges (Ox #’s) must add up to zero; the charges balance.

Zn+2 P-3 Zn3P2
The number of Zn cations (3) equals the charge of the anion (-3), and the number of P anions (2) equals the charge of the cation (+2).But remember to reduce this to the lowest whole number ratio.Consider beryllium carbide.

Finding an Ox # in Compounds Containing a Multivalent Ion
water = H2O water ≠ HO2 or H3O or HO, etc.because the Ox # H = +1 and Ox # O = -2
In order to combine elements in a chemical formula in the correct ratio, you need to know the Ox #’s of each element. You will also need to know these Ox #’s for writing chemical names.However many elements are ‘multivalent’; they have more than one possible Ox #.Fortunately, it is always true that at least one of the elements in a binary compound will have an Ox # that is known for certain and so the other element’s Ox # can be calculated.Example 1: Manganese has 5 different Ox #’s in its compounds, i.e., +2, +3, +4, +6 and +7.Calculate the Ox # of Mn in MnCl2.
Answer: Mn = +2Here’s why: The Ox # of Cl is -1 because it is more EN than Mn. Chloride is always -1.The total negative charge in MnCl2 = (Cl-1 × 2) = -2.
So the total positive charge of Mn must be +2, and the Ox # of Mn must be +2.
17
Example 2: Calculate the Ox # of Mn in Mn2O3
Answer: Mn = +3Here’s why: The Ox # of O is always -2.The total negative charge of three O’s = (-2 × 3) = -6The total positive charge of both Mn ions must be +6 (total = total ).⊕ ⊖So each Mn has a charge of (+6/2) = +3
or solve as a math equation:Let Ox # of Mn = xThe sum of all Ox #’s = 0Mn2O3 = 0(x)*2 + (-2)*3 = 02x – 6 = 0x = +6/2 = +3 Mn+3
or use the Inverse Rule:

Naming Binary Compounds Containing a Multivalent Ion:Iron (Fe), like manganese (Mn) can exhibit more than one Ox #. There are two kinds of iron chloride, FeCl2 and FeCl3. The name ‘iron chloride’ is thus ambiguous.
In binary compounds containing cations with more than one Ox #, the Ox # of the cation is written in Roman numerals (in parentheses) immediately after the cation. Thus FeCl2 is named iron(II) chloride and FeCl3 is named iron(III) chloride.
There are two different forms of iron chloride.Iron(II) chloride is green.Iron(III) chloride is yellow/rusty colored.Each different chemical compound must have its own, unique, unambiguous name.
Fe +2 C l-F eC l2 = = iron(II) chloride
Fe +3 C l-F eC l3 = = iron(III) chloride

20
Look at the formulas and names of two kinds of iron oxide, FeO and Fe2O3.Please read carefully: The Ox # listed immediately after the cation indicates the charge on the cation, not necessarily the number of anions in the formula.
To name a compound, write the ion symbols and determine their Ox #’s from the combining ratio given in the formula. The anion usually has only one possible Ox #, so calculate the Ox # of the cation remembering that the total charge and charges in compounds are equal⊕ ⊖ .
F e +2 O -2F eO = = iron (II) oxide
F e +3 O -2F e 2O 3 = = iron (III) oxide
T he O x #, e .g., (II) or (III) ind icates the charge on the cation, not necessarily the num ber of an ions present.
FeO is black
Fe2O3 is rusty/red

5. Write the name of the compound
1. Identify the Ox # that is known for certain (usually the anion’s).
2. If allowed, check the periodic table for the possible charges of the other ion.
3. Determine the ratio of ions in the formula
4. Find what charge must be on the multivalent ion to balance all charges
chlorine(V) oxide
nitride: N-3 (Group 5A)(N is more EN than Au, so it uses its negative Ox #)
Au+ or Au+3
Au3N means 3 gold ions for every 1 nitride ion.Au+ +1 +1 +1 = +3N-3 = -33 Au+ ions are needed for every 1 N-3 ion
gold(I) nitride
oxide: O-2 (Group 6A)O is more EN than Cl, O always has an Ox # of -2
Cl+, Cl+3, Cl+5 or Cl+7
Cl2O5 means 2 chlorines for every 5 oxide ions.Cl+5: +5 +5 = +10O 2-: -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 = -102 Cl+5 atoms are needed for every 5 O-2 ions.

Binary Acids:Binary acids contain hydrogen, H, that is covalently bonded to a non metal. Hydrogen chloride, HCl, is an example of a binary acid.When dissolved in water, hydrogen chloride is named hydrochloric acid because it releases an acidic H+ ion when it ionizes.Learn the names and formulas of the five common binary acids, listed below.

The “Ous-Ic” SystemFor binary compounds in which the cation usually has only 2 oxidation states, the old “ous-ic” system is sometimes used. In a few cases, when the English name of the metal atom is awkward, the Latin name of the metal is used instead.Then the suffix “ous” is added for the lower oxidation number and “ic” for the higher oxidation number.

Peroxides:• A reactive type of compound, called ‘peroxides’, has important commercial and industrial
applications. The most familiar example is hydrogen peroxide, H2O2.

H2Ohydrogen oxide
H2O2
hydrogen peroxide‘per’ means one more O than the normal oxide.
• H2O2 is one of the strongest oxidizers known.
• 35 – 50% aqueous solutions are used industrially for pulp and paper bleaching.
• Up to 12% H2O2 is used as hair bleach and 3% H2O2 is sold as a household disinfectant.
• Peroxides are unusual, in that the ‘O’ in a peroxide has an Ox # = -1 and the formula of the peroxide anion is written O2
-2 (because the peroxide anion is a bonded pair of O’s).
• Recall that ‘O’ is in Group 6A, it will be stable when it gains 2 electrons and becomes oxide, O-2, so it is not surprising that peroxide, O2
-2, is so reactive (unstable).
31
Group 1A and 2A metal peroxides have some interesting applications.For example, sodium peroxide, Na2O2, converts carbon dioxide to oxygen and sodium carbonate.
Na2O2 + CO2 Na2CO3 + ½ O2
Both lithium peroxide and sodium peroxide have been used to regenerate oxygen from exhaled air in confined spaces, such as submarines and spacecraft.Peroxide Practice: Write the name or formula of the following compounds. Spelling counts.

Inorganic Nomenclature Part 2 Polyatomic CompoundsOxy Acids:Oxyacids contain H, O and another nonmetal atom. Many oxyacids are commonly found in cleaning products, fruits, food ingredients, industrial chemicals, etc.
• Phosphoric acid, H3PO4, is used to pickle steel and is the flavour in root beers and colas.
• Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is the electrolyte in the automobile lead-acid battery (35% H2SO4).
• Carbonic acid, H2CO3, is formed when carbon dioxide, CO2, is dissolved in water (H2O + CO2 H2CO3). Carbonated beverages contain carbonic acid.
• A 5% solution of acetic acid, CH3COOH, in water is sold as vinegar.
35
Here are eight important oxyacids. Some of these exist with varying numbers of oxygen atoms. The ‘main’ oxyacids, the –ic acids, and their names are highlighted.

HCN, hydrogen cyanide is acidic. In water it is called hydrocyanic acid. Although it is a weak acid and has a sweet almond odour, it is highly toxic when ingested.HCN H+ + CN-
The formula of water, H2O, looks like other binary acids, but water is completely neutral. When a H+ ion is removed from water, hydroxide ion, OH-, a strong base is formed.
Ammonia, NH3, is a moderately strong base with a pungent odour – the smell of Windex. When NH3 reacts with H+, an ammonium cation, NH4
+, is formed: NH3 + H+ NH4+
NH4+ (ammonium ion) is the only polyatomic ion
listed that is a cation. Its ‘ium’ ending indicates that it is a cation. The polyatomic anions have endings ‘ate’, ‘ite’, and ‘ide’.

Monoprotic and Polyprotic Acids:Acids like CH3COOH, HNO3, HNO2, HClO4, HClO3, HClO2, HClO, etc. have only one ionizable H+ ion per molecule; these are called monoprotic acids.The three H’s bonded to C in CH3COOH are not ionizable.
Acids like H2CO3, H2SO4, H2SO3 and H3PO4 can release more than one H+ ion per molecule; they are called polyprotic acids because they can release more than one H+ (proton).When polyprotic acids lose some but not all of their ionizable H’s, important polyatomic anions form.

Formulas and Names Involving Polyatomic Ions:Compounds containing polyatomic ions are named the same as binary compounds. Formulas containing polyatomic ions are written the same as binary compounds, with one difference …
sodium chloride is NaClcalcium chloride is CaCl2
sodium hydroxide is NaOHcalcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)2
Parentheses are not placed around monatomic ions like Cl-, even when several are present in the formula.
Parentheses are placed around polyatomic ions like OH-, only when several are present in the formula.
Ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH, contains two polyatomic ions, the ammonium cation, NH4+, and
the hydroxide anion, OH-
In ammonium cyanide, NH4CN, the N atom occurs twice. They remain separate so that the both the ammonium cation, NH4
+, and the cyanide anion, CN-, are recognized.

In most oxyacids, adding or subtracting O’s to a formula does not change the number of ionizable H’s.HNO3 and HNO2 are both monoprotic acids.
H2SO4 and H2SO3 are both diprotic acids.
HClO4, HClO3, HClO2 and HClO are all monoprotic acids.
The oxyacids of P are unique. H3PO4 is triprotic, but H3PO3 is only diprotic, and H3PO2 is monoprotic.
Examine the structures of these oxyacids and note that acidic H’s are bonded to O, not to P.

The number of H’s need not be stated, provided the number of other cations is explicitly stated in the name.Prefixes like ‘di’ or ‘tri’ should only be used when partially ionized polyprotic acids are being named.

For compounds of monovalent cations (Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, etc.) we have seen that there are several
acceptable names … e.g., K2HPO4 = dipotassium monohydrogen phosphate or potassium monohydrogen phosphate or dipotassium phosphateHowever, when polyvalent cations, like Ca+2, Al+3, etc. are combined with partially ionized acids, the convention is to state the number of H’s but not the number of polyvalent metal cations, as follows …

Permanganic acid, HMnO4, is monoprotic. Its potassium salt, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a dark purple-colored reagent that is often used in the lab as a strong oxidizing titrant. Mn is in its highest oxidation state, +7, (which contributes to its strength as an oxidizer).
Chromic acid, H2CrO4, is a diprotic acid and strong oxidizer. Its potassium salt, potassium chromate, K2CrO4, is used as an indicator for measurement of chloride by silver nitrate titration. Cr is in its highest oxidation state, +6, (which contributes to its strength as an oxidizer).
Dichromic acid, H2Cr2O7 is another strongly oxidizing diprotic acid. Its potassium salt, potassium dichromate ( K2Cr2O7) is a common lab reagent.Can you calculate the Ox # of Cr in it?
