#10 - Naming of Ionic CompoundsNow you�ve gone this far as to forming ionic(metal-nonmetal) compounds. Now how would you name those compounds? These compounds are named using a system. It�s very simple; hence, it�s difficult. It is always the simple things that are the hardest to understand. The first part of the name is the metal: Aluminum The second part of the name is the first part of the nonmetal with an -ide ending: Aluminum Oxide Here are other examples:
All metal-nonmetal compounds are named the same way, it doesn�t matter how many of each atom there are. (for example: NaCl and Na2S are named the same way even though the first has one sodium and the second has two sodium's) The most difficult part of naming metal-nonmetal compounds is remembering what exactly to call and/or spell the nonmetal compounds. The best thing to do is remember the list:
So here is a simple list of steps to naming metal-nonmetal compounds:
