  1. Naming molecules Chapter 8.2

  2. Binary molecular compounds • Composed of ONLY two nonmetal atoms • Not metals or ions • Naming • First element in formula named first using complete element name • Second element named using its root and adding the suffix –ide • Use prefixes (table 8.3 – page 248) to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the compound. • Never use the prefix mono for the first element

  3. Acids • If a compound produces hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, it is an acid • Two common types of acid • Binary acid • Contains hydrogen and one other element • Oxyacid • Contains hydrogen and an oxyanion (polyatomic ion containing one or more oxygen atoms)

  4. Naming binary acids • The first word has the prefix hydro- (for hydrogen) followed by a form of the root of the second element plus the suffix –ic • The second word is always acid • HCl • Hydrochloric acid • HBr • Hydrobromic acid

  5. Naming oxyacids • Identify the oxyanion present • The first word of the oxyacid’s is the root of the oxyanion and the prefix per- or hypo- if it is part of the name followed by a suffix: -icif the suffix was –ate; -ous if the suffix was -ite • The second word is always acid • HClO3: (oxyanion = chlorate) - chloricacid • HClO2: (oxyanion = chlorite) - chlorous acid • HNO3: (oxyaanion = nitrate) - nitric acid • HNO2: (oxyanion = nitrite) – nitrous acid
