Acids Derived from Binary
Compounds
Certain binary hydrogen compounds, when dissolved in

water, form solutions that have acid properties, because of this
property, these compounds are given acid names in addition to
their regular ide names.\
Binary acids are composed of Hydrogen and one other
nonmetallic element
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
To name Binary Acids:

Write the prefix hydro- followed by the stem of
the second element and add the suffix ic.
Write the word acid.
Example: HCl H2S
Hydro chlor ic acid Hydro sulfur ic acid
(hydrochloric acid) (hydrosulfuric acid)

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.
In naming the compounds containing polyatomic ions is

similar to naming binary compounds. The cation is named
first, followed by the name for the negative polyatomic ion.
Many polyatomic ions that contain oxygen are called
oxy-anions and generally have the suffix ate or -ite.
ate form contains more oxygen atoms than the ite form.
Example;
2- -
Sulfate (SO4 ) Nitrate (NO3)
2- -
Sulfite (SO3) Nitrite (NO2)
To indicate more oxygen than in the ate form we add the

prefix per- (short for hyper- meaning more.)
the prefix hypo- meaning less (oxygen in this case),is used
for the ion containing less oxygen than the -ite

Four of the common negatively charge polyatomic ions do not use

the ate-ite system.

These exceptions are: - 2- -
Hydroxide (OH ), Hydrogen sulfide (HS ), Peroxide (O2 ) and Cyanide
(CN )
Naming Bases
bases contain the hydroxyl group, OH, in
combination with metal ion. Hydroxides are
named by indicating the name of metal ion
followed by the word hydroxide.
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.
Examples:
BaCl2 12 H2O Barium chloride dodecahyrate or

barium chloride 12-hydrate
CuSO4 5 H2O Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate or

copper (II) sulfate 5-hydrate

b. Barium hydroxide Ba(OH)2
c. Silver carbonate Ag2CO3
d. Potassium nitrite KNO2
