Introduction to Naming IONIC Chemical Compounds

• Metal names STAY THE SAME

• Non-metals get a name change when they bond with Metals.

• Non-metals name will change with a new -IDE ending

• Hydrogen --> HydrIDE

• Carbon --> CarbIDE

• ​Nitrogen --> NitrIDE

• ​Oxygen --> OxIDE

• ​Fluorine --> FluorIDE

• ​Phosphorus --> PhosphIDE

• ​Sulfur --> SulfIDE

• ​Chlorine --> ChlorIDE

• ​Selenium --> SelenIDE

• ​Bromine --> BromIDE

• ​Iodine -> IodIDE

• Non-metals will always be ​LISTED LAST

• Example: Table Salt

​

• NaCl = Chemical FORMULA

​

• Example: Table Salt

​

• NaCl = Chemical FORMULA

​

​Sodium ChlorIDE = Chemical NAME

A Periodic Table will help you!

Take one more look at the new -IDE anion names before you play:

• Hydrogen --> HydrIDE

• Carbon --> CarbIDE

• ​Nitrogen --> NitrIDE

• ​Oxygen --> OxIDE

• ​Fluorine --> FluorIDE

• ​Phosphorus --> PhosphIDE

• ​Sulfur --> SulfIDE

• ​Chlorine --> ChlorIDE

• ​Selenium --> SelenIDE

• ​Bromine --> BromIDE

• ​Iodine -> IodIDE
