Lesson
Binary Compounds: Naming
1 and Writing
 The elements in the periodic table undergo the process of sharing or
donating electrons in order to form a compound. This compound has to carry a new
name based on the formula it will form.

What’s In

What is in a name? As you go along with this activity sheet, I would like you
to recall how your parents were able to come up with your name. Did you ever ask
them why such a name was given to you? Well, it is because you are unique and
they wanted you to be different from other people. Same is true with the
substances (an element or a compound) that we encounter every day. They also
carry a special name based on their property or characteristic.

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

What’s New

Activity 1. Unscramble Me
Directions: Unscramble the word below to go through world of chemicals. Write
your answers on the space provided.

1. RHIGASN _________________________________________
2. ONIIC _________________________________________
3. IODOTNAIX _________________________________________
4. LENTMONA _________________________________________
5. SNITORTIAN _________________________________________

What is It

Do you want to know how did carbon dioxide get its name from CO 2? Carbon
is classified as a nonmetal and has 4 electrons surrounding its nucleus in which
these electrons are looking for their pair. While oxygen, which is also a nonmetal,
has 6 electrons moving around its nucleus where 2 of its electrons are unpaired.
After sharing their unpaired electrons, they become stable. This is now the time
that a compound is formed, a covalent binary compound. Meanwhile, when a
metal ion finds stability with a nonmetal ion an ionic binary compound is formed.
This is true with the salt that mother uses to make our food tasty. Sodium, Na, is a
metal looks for chlorine, Cl, which is a nonmetal. By sharing their unpaired
electron they would become stable. The electrons that surround the nucleus are
called the valence electrons, while the unpaired electrons are called covalency.
Study the formation below so you can understand better:

K+ and Cl- (K+) (Cl-) or KCl Potassium chloride

(+1) + (-1) = 0

Ca2+ and Br_ (Ca2+) (Br_)2 or CaBr2 Calcium bromide

(+2) + 2(-1) = 0

Mg2+ and N3_ (Mg2+)3 (N3_)2 or Mg3N2 Magnesium nitride

 The above binary compounds contain metals with fixed oxidation numbers.
How about metals with variable oxidation numbers (transition metals)? The same
procedure is followed in formula writing, except that in naming, the oxidation
number must be specified.

There are two methods of specifying oxidation numbers - the stock system
and the classical –ous or –ic system. In the stock system, the oxidation number of
the metal is indicated by a roman numeral in parentheses. The suffixes –ous and –
ic are used to denote the lower and higher oxidation states, respectively.

◼ These compounds are named using the following form:

Name of Cation + (Charge of + Base Name of

metal in Anion + ide
roman
numerals)

Consider the following examples: Classical name Stock system

Cu1+ O2- Cu2O Cuprous oxide Copper (I) oxide

Fe3+ O2- Fe2O3 Ferric oxide Iron (III) oxide

The type of bond between two nonmetals is generally covalent in nature.

Recall how you determine the formula of covalent compounds using the Lewis
electron dot structure. Naming covalent compounds containing two elements is
similar to naming ionic compounds except that Greek prefixes are used. Such as
mono- for 1, di- for 2, tri- for 3…and so on.

Here’s how to make it easier:

FOR NOMENCLATURE:

1. Binary Salts- Metal name + root word of nonmetal + -ide

Ex: Na2S – sodium sulfide

V3N2 – vanadium nitride

 2. Fixed Metal:
Metal name (oxidation number) + root word of nonmetal + -ide

a. Metal Latin name (-ous) + root word of nonmetal + -ide

b. Metal Latin name (-ic) + root word of nonmetal + -ide

classical name stock system name

Ex: Fe2S3 – ferric sulfide or iron (III) sulfide

HgO – mercuric oxide or mercury (II) oxide

3. Bases – Metal name + hydroxide

Ex: Ba(OH)2 – barium hydroxide

Al(III)OH – aluminum hydroxide

4. Binary Acids – Hydrogen + root word of nonmetal + -ide (Salt name)

Hydro + root word of nonmetal + -ic acid (acid name)

Ex: HBr – hydrogen bromide (SN) ; hydrobromic acid (AN)

H2S – hydrogen sulfide (SN) ; hydrosulfuric acid (AN)

FOR WRITING FORMULAS (Crisscross Method)

1. Overall charge of the ions, must be equal to ZERO.

2. If charges cancel or are the same, just write the symbols.
3. If NOT, crisscross the charges to find the subscripts
⮚ Use parenthesis in the case of bases (hydroxide – OH)
⮚ The metal (CATION) must be written first followed by the
nonmetal

Example 1: Al+3 and OH-1 Al+3 OH-1

 The compound’s formula now becomes Al(OH)3

Example 2: Mg2+ and N3_ Mg2+ N3_

Therefore the compound becomes Mg3N2
