For example:
HCl = it is a gas and is called hydrogen chloride
= but its water solution is known as hydrochloric acid
To express the formula of Binary Acid
Write the symbol of hydrogen first.
Followed by the symbol of the second element.
Example: HCl, HBr, or H2S

Naming Compounds
Containing Polyatomic
Ions
Polyatomic Ion is an ion that contains two
or more elements
compounds containing polyatomic ions are composed of
three or more elements and usually consist of one or more
cation combined with negative polyatomic ion.
Example:
NaOH Sodium hydroxide
Ba(OH)2 Barium hydroxide
Cu(OH)2 Copper(II) Hydroxide or
cupric hydroxide
Naming of Hydrates
A hydrate is a substance that contains water molecules
as a part of its crystalline structure .
Hydrates are named by indicating the name of the
compound first exclusive of the water followed by the
term hydrate with a prefix or a number representing
the number of water molecules present.
