Types
Polyatomic anions:
o
namedby dropping the end of the element name and adding "ide."(ex:
oxide)
The name of the ion stays the same (ex: sulfate)
You drop the word ion in the cation and anion to make the compound name
Examples
NaCl:
Na+ "sodium ion"+ Cl- "Chloride ion" "sodium chloride
Al2(CO3)3:
Al+3 "aluminum ion" + CO3-2 "Carbonate" "aluminum
carbonate"
Something to Note
Charges are usually written +X
Oxidation states are written as X-
Oh there's sulfate and phosphate with four oxygen, chlorate and carbonate with
oxygen of three, but there is one that is different from all of these, it's the acetate
ion you see!
Sulfate is S O 4 minus 2, phosphate is P O 4 minus 3, these bond with oxygen in
fours ending in at A T E.
Nitrate is N O 3 minus 1, carbonate's about the same, it has a charge of minus 2,
it's found in soda pop, yummy!
Then along comes acetate, found in vinegar, C 2 H 3 O 2, it has a change of minus 1
Polyatomic ions, the ones we use most frequently, bonding with lots of oxygen,
ending in an A T E!

Main group metals charges of the metal are never shown; it is always trusted
The roman numeral is shown in parentheses after the metal ion name
To determine the roman numeral, look to the cation the anion is paired with
Write in the symbol and charge for the stated transition metal and the
anion.
Simplify if possible!
Example:
Nickel(II) phosphate = Ni+2and PO4-3= Ni3(PO4)2
PREFIXES:
Examples
COcarbon monoxide
N2O5 dinitrogen pentaoxide
P6Cl8 hexaphosphorus octachloride
Naming Acids
Four to memorize/remember
Naming Bases
Strong bases
Weak bases
If the base has covalent bonds (made of molecular or organic compounds) follow
either the covalent naming system or IUPAC naming system of organic compounds
