= Introduction =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Chemical nomenclature&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the system chemists use to name substances in a clear and organized way. A chemical formula tells you which elements or ions are present and in what ratio; a chemical name lets people communicate that formula in words. The [[English:International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry|International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)]] develops internationally used recommendations so that chemists can describe substances consistently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Grades 9–10, you do not need the full professional rulebook. You need a reliable decision process for common inorganic compounds: identify the type of compound, recognize the ions or elements involved, apply the correct naming rule, and check that the formula and charge make sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;By the end of this aiMOOC, you should be able to:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Chemical formula|Chemical formula]]: Explain what symbols, subscripts, and ion charges mean.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Ion|Ion]]: Distinguish cations from anions and predict common main-group ion charges.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Ionic compound|Ionic compound]]: Name binary ionic compounds and write neutral formulas from their names.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Transition metal|Transition metal]]: Use Roman numerals to describe variable-charge metal cations.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Polyatomic ion|Polyatomic ion]]: Name compounds containing common polyatomic ions.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Covalent compound|Covalent compound]]: Name binary molecular compounds with numerical prefixes.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Acid|Acid]]: Recognize basic school-level acid naming patterns and explain why physical state can matter.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Chemical nomenclature|Chemical nomenclature]]: Check names and formulas for consistency and communicate your reasoning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Colour 18-col PT with labels.png|700px|frameless|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The periodic table is one of your main naming tools. It helps you distinguish metals from nonmetals and anticipate common ion charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

= Why Names Need Rules =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine receiving the formula FeCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; in a lab note. A useful name should tell another chemist which substance is meant. The systematic name &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;iron(III) chloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; communicates that iron has a +3 charge in this compound. The Roman numeral is important because iron can form more than one common cation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chemical naming is not simply memorizing vocabulary. It is a form of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;classification and reasoning&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. You first decide what kind of substance you have, then choose the rule set that fits it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A practical school-level classification is:&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Ionic compound|Ionic compounds]]: Usually contain a metal cation and a nonmetal anion, or include a polyatomic ion.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Covalent compound|Binary molecular compounds]]: Usually contain two nonmetals.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Acid|Acids]]: Often begin with H in formulas used in aqueous chemistry and follow special naming patterns.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Organic chemistry|Organic compounds]]: Use a larger system based on carbon structures; only a short preview is included in this course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

= Reading Chemical Formulas =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A chemical symbol identifies an element. A subscript tells you how many atoms of that element occur in the formula unit or molecule. If no subscript is written, the implied number is one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms per molecule. CaCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; contains calcium and chloride ions in a 1:2 ratio. In Ca(NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, parentheses show that two nitrate ions are present for each calcium ion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not confuse a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;subscript&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ion charge&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. A subscript counts particles in a formula. A superscript charge describes the net electrical charge of an ion, such as Na&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, or SO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Carbon dioxide molecule.svg|350px|frameless|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound. Its name and formula show a one-to-two ratio of carbon to oxygen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
= Ions: The Building Blocks of Ionic Names =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ion&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is an atom or group of atoms with a net electrical charge. A positively charged ion is a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;cation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. A negatively charged ion is an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;anion&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many main-group elements form predictable ions:&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Alkali metal|Group 1 metals]] commonly form +1 cations, such as Na&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Alkaline earth metal|Group 2 metals]] commonly form +2 cations, such as Mg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Halogen|Group 17 nonmetals]] commonly form −1 anions, such as Cl&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Chalcogen|Group 16 nonmetals]] commonly form −2 anions in simple binary ionic compounds, such as O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a monatomic anion, the element name usually changes to an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-ide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ending: chlorine becomes chloride, oxygen becomes oxide, sulfur becomes sulfide, and nitrogen becomes nitride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

= Naming Binary Ionic Compounds =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;binary ionic compound&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; contains ions from two different elements. At this level, the basic naming rule is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;cation name first + anion root with -ide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Sodium chloride|Sodium chloride]]: NaCl is sodium chloride.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Magnesium oxide|Magnesium oxide]]: MgO is magnesium oxide.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Calcium bromide|Calcium bromide]]: CaBr&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is calcium bromide.&lt;br /&gt;
# [[English:Aluminium oxide|Aluminium oxide]]: Al&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is aluminium oxide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notice that ionic compound names do &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;not&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; use prefixes such as di- or tri- to show the number of ions. The subscripts come from charge balance, not from molecular-prefix rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NaCl octahedra and part of crystal.svg|500px|frameless|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sodium chloride forms an extended ionic crystal lattice rather than separate NaCl molecules. The formula NaCl expresses the simplest whole-number ratio of Na&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; to Cl&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Writing Ionic Formulas from Names ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An ionic compound is electrically neutral overall. Use ion charges to determine the smallest whole-number ratio that gives total charge zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For magnesium chloride:&lt;br /&gt;
# Magnesium forms Mg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Chloride is Cl&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Two chloride ions balance one magnesium ion.&lt;br /&gt;
# The formula is MgCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For aluminium oxide:&lt;br /&gt;
# Aluminium commonly forms Al&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Oxide is O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Two Al&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions give +6 and three O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions give −6.&lt;br /&gt;
# The formula is Al&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Always reduce subscripts to the lowest whole-number ratio for a simple ionic formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
= Variable-Charge Metals and Roman Numerals =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many transition metals can form cations with different charges. The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Stock system&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; uses a Roman numeral in parentheses after the metal name to specify the cation charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&lt;br /&gt;
# FeCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;iron(II) chloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; because two Cl&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions require Fe&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# FeCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;iron(III) chloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; because three Cl&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions require Fe&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# Cu&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;copper(I) oxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; because O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; is balanced by two Cu&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions.&lt;br /&gt;
# CuO is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;copper(II) oxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; because O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; is balanced by Cu&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Important:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; the Roman numeral gives the charge of one metal ion in that compound. It does not tell you how many metal atoms are present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq0A-AHdB74|500|center}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== How to Find an Unknown Metal Charge ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use the known anion charge and electrical neutrality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example: Fe&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each oxide ion is O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. Three oxide ions give a total charge of −6. Therefore, the two iron ions must give +6 in total, so each iron ion is +3. The name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;iron(III) oxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reverse reasoning is more reliable than guessing from the subscript.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
= Polyatomic Ions =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;polyatomic ion&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a charged group of covalently bonded atoms that behaves as a unit in many ionic compounds. At Grades 9–10, some common polyatomic ions are worth learning because their names are kept when they appear in compounds.&lt;br /&gt;

| phosphate&lt;br /&gt;
| Na&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;PO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
| sodium phosphate&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When more than one copy of a polyatomic ion is needed in a formula, use parentheses around the ion. Calcium nitrate is Ca(NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, because one Ca&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ion needs two NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; ions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Nitrat-Ion.svg|350px|frameless|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nitrate ion is a group of atoms with an overall −1 charge. In nomenclature, you treat &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;nitrate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; as one named ion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Carbonat-Ion.svg|350px|frameless|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The carbonate ion has an overall −2 charge. A compound such as CaCO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is therefore calcium carbonate.&lt;br /&gt;

= Naming Binary Molecular Compounds =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Binary molecular compounds are usually formed from two nonmetals. Unlike simple ionic compounds, molecular compounds use &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;numerical prefixes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to show how many atoms of each element are in one molecule.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The school-level rule for many binary molecular compounds is:&lt;br /&gt;
# Name the first element and add a prefix when needed.&lt;br /&gt;
# Usually omit &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;mono-&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; on the first element.&lt;br /&gt;
# Name the second element with a numerical prefix and an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-ide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ending.&lt;br /&gt;
# Adjust spelling where vowels are commonly contracted, as in monoxide and pentoxide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&lt;br /&gt;
# CO is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;carbon monoxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;carbon dioxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;dinitrogen tetroxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# PCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;phosphorus trichloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
# SF&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;sulfur hexafluoride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Water molecule 3D.svg|400px|frameless|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water, H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O, is a molecular compound with a widely accepted common name. Nomenclature systems can preserve some well-established names, so not every familiar substance is normally called by a mechanically generated prefix name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DejkvR4pvRw|500|center}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
= Ionic or Molecular? A Decision Process =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use this sequence before you name a compound:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Look at the elements and any recognizable polyatomic ions.&lt;br /&gt;
# If the formula contains a metal with a nonmetal, or contains a polyatomic ion, test the ionic naming rules first.&lt;br /&gt;
# If it contains two nonmetals and is a binary molecular compound, use numerical prefixes.&lt;br /&gt;
# If a variable-charge metal is present, determine its charge and use a Roman numeral.&lt;br /&gt;
# If the formula represents an acid in aqueous solution, use the acid naming pattern taught in your course.&lt;br /&gt;
# After naming, check the formula, charge balance, prefixes, and spelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Do not decide from subscripts alone.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; The same subscript can occur for different reasons. In CaCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, the 2 follows from charge balance. In CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, the 2 is a molecular atom count reflected by the prefix di-.&lt;br /&gt;

= Introductory Acid Nomenclature =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acid naming is often taught after ionic and molecular nomenclature. The exact scope varies by curriculum, so treat this section as a school-level introduction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For binary acids in water, a common pattern is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;hydro- + nonmetal root + -ic acid&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. HCl(aq) is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;hydrochloric acid&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. The same formula written as HCl without indicating aqueous solution can be called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;hydrogen chloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, so physical state can matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For common oxyacids:&lt;br /&gt;
# An anion ending in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-ate&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; often changes to an acid ending in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-ic acid&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: nitrate gives nitric acid.&lt;br /&gt;
# An anion ending in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-ite&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; often changes to an acid ending in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-ous acid&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: nitrite gives nitrous acid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These patterns help you connect acid names to polyatomic-ion names instead of memorizing every acid separately.&lt;br /&gt;

{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
= Common Naming Errors =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Error 1: Using molecular prefixes for ionic compounds.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; CaCl&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is calcium chloride, not calcium dichloride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Error 2: Treating a Roman numeral as a subscript.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; In iron(III) chloride, III tells you Fe&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;; it does not directly mean that three iron atoms appear in the formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Error 3: Forgetting charge neutrality.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Al&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and O&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; combine as Al&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, not AlO.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Error 4: Breaking apart a polyatomic ion.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; In calcium nitrate, nitrate remains NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. The correct formula is Ca(NO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Error 5: Forgetting the -ide ending in a binary compound.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; NaBr is sodium bromide, not sodium bromine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Error 6: Using mono- automatically on the first element of a binary molecular compound.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; CO is carbon monoxide, not monocarbon monoxide in the usual school naming system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
= Worked Examples =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Example: Name MgCl2 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mg is a Group 2 metal, so it commonly forms Mg&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. Chlorine forms Cl&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, called chloride. This is a binary ionic compound, so the name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;magnesium chloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Example: Name CuCl2 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each chloride ion has a −1 charge. Two chlorides give −2, so copper must be Cu&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. The name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;copper(II) chloride&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Example: Write the Formula for Aluminium Sulfate ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aluminium is Al&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3+&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and sulfate is SO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2−&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;. The lowest neutral combination uses two aluminium ions and three sulfate ions. The formula is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Al&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(SO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Example: Name N2O5 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both nitrogen and oxygen are nonmetals, so use molecular prefixes. Two nitrogens give &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;dinitrogen&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Five oxygens give &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;pentoxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. The name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;dinitrogen pentoxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{BR}}&lt;br /&gt;
== Example: Compare FeO and Fe2O3 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In FeO, oxide is −2, so iron is +2 and the name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;iron(II) oxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. In Fe&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, three oxide ions total −6, so two iron ions total +6 and each iron is +3. The name is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;iron(III) oxide&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

Chemical nomenclature provides rules for giving substances clear { names }. A positive ion is called a { cation }. A negative monatomic ion often ends in { ide }. An ionic formula must have a total charge of { zero }. A Roman numeral can identify the { charge } of a variable-charge metal. A named charged group such as nitrate is a { polyatomic ion }. Binary molecular compounds often use numerical { prefixes }. The first step in naming a substance is to identify its compound { type }.&lt;br /&gt;
