Atoms and Compounds Have No Charge by John Garner

Chemical Nomenclature

jgarner7 — 2015-01-23 20:11:45 UTC

Chemical nomenclature is the term given to the naming of compounds

or writing formulas..

Use subscripts to get the charges to zero. Equalize the charges.

Binary Compounds

jgarner7 — 2015-01-23 20:11:57 UTC

Binary compounds have two elements and end in ide.

Sodium Chloride = NaCl

Barium Oxide = BaO

Aluminum Bromide = AlBr3

Polyatomic Ions

jgarner7 — 2015-01-23 20:12:04 UTC

If an ion contains more than one atom, even if these atoms are of the same element, it is called a polyatomic ion.

SO4-2 Sulfate OH-1 Hydroxide

NH4+1 Ammonium FO4-1 Fluorate

SO3-2 Sulfite

Monatomic Ions

jgarner7 — 2015-01-23 20:12:13 UTC

A monatomic ion is an ion consisting of a single atom.
Mg+2 Magnesium Cl-1 Chloride
Sodium Na+1

Ternary Compounds

jgarner7 — 2015-01-23 20:16:00 UTC

Ternary compounds have 3 or more elements and usually end in ate or ite. Should be Subscripts.

Sodium Sulfate = Na2SO4

Potassium Nitrate = KNO3

1.)You can often determine the charge of an ion normally by the elements position on the periodic table, the charge will then reveal if the ion is a cation or an anion. If the charge is positive the ion is a cation and if the charge is negative the ion is an anion.
