Document Summary

To name an inorganic compound, we need to consider the answers to several questions. From the answers we derive, we place the compound in an appropriate category and then name it. If so, does it also contain oxygen? accordingly. Compounds containing polyatomic ions are named similarly to those containing only monatomic ions, except there is no need to change to an ide ending, since the suffix is already present in the name of the anion. Most of the transition metals can form two or more cations with different charges. Compounds of these metals with nonmetals are named with the same method as compounds in the first category, except the charge of the metal ion is specified by a roman numeral in parentheses after the name of the metal. The charge of the metal ion is determined from the formula of the compound and the charge of the anion. For example, consider the ionic compounds of iron and chlorine.
