Rules Of Naming Compounds
If there is a metal in a compound then it is named first
Where metals can form more than one ion then the name indicated on the ion present
Compounds containing 2 elements have name ending with ide
Compounds containing a compound ion have names ending with ate, for example calcium carbonate
The names of some compounds are prefixes to tell you the number of atoms
Formulae Of Covalent Compound
Atoms of each element have a combining power, sometimes they are referred as the valency, this is the combined power of all atoms which is the power of the bond
Valency = Group Number
Molecular Formula
A molecular formula talks about the bond of atoms present in a molecule
Empirical And Molecular Formula
Molecular formula talks about the bond of atoms in a molecule
Empirical Formula talks about the most simplified ratio of atoms present in a molecule
Formula Of Ionic Compounds
Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature
Ionic compounds are chemical compounds made up of positive and negatively charged ions
