Rules for Naming Binary Compounds
Binary Compounds are ionic bonds between one metal (+) and one nonmetal (-).
When you name binary ionic compounds, you always mention the cation (+ ion) first (usually the metal).
When you name the second ion (the – anion), you will change the ending to “ide”

Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic ions are a group of ions (2+ elements) that are covalently bonded together.
1) You would say the first element as is.
2) You would then say the rest of the bonded polyatomic ions after the first element, using their specific endings.

Oxygen vs Peroxide
Normally an Oxygen molecule by itself is O2. However, if it is in a polyatomic bond, the O2 becomes peroxide.
O2 = oxygen, Na2O2 = sodium peroxide
Remember the difference between the chemical formulas for water and hydrogen peroxide: water = H2O; hydrogen peroxide = H2O2
![Page 9: How To Name Chemical Formulas](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56812fe0550346895d9555d7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rules for Polyatomic Ions
• You have to memorize the chart, including SO3
(Sulfite) and O2 (Peroxide).
Remember, O2 is peroxide only when used as a polyatomic ion. Otherwise it is oxygen (oxide.)

Prefixes for Covalent Compounds
The prefixes indicate how many atoms of each element are in a binary covalent compound. These occur when 2 nonmetals covalently bond.
![Page 13: How To Name Chemical Formulas](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56812fe0550346895d9555d7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prefixes for Covalent Compounds
Mono = 1
Di = 2
Tri = 3
Tetra = 4
Penta = 5
Hexa = 6
Hepta = 7
Octa = 8

How to Say Covalent Compounds
P2O5 - this is named diphosphorus
pentoxide, because there are two phosphorus atoms and five oxygen atoms. CO - this is carbon monoxide (you need the "mono-" because there's only one oxygen atom). CF4 - this is carbon tetrafluoride

The Covalent Bond of Water
• Water is a covalent bond (2 Hydrogen atoms share the 6 Oxygen valence electrons of one atom)
H2O
Dihydrogen monoxide
This is a chemical formula you should know.

Naming Covalent Bonds Rules
• Use specific prefixes to indicate the total number of atoms involved.
• Don’t write 2 vowels together unless it is dioxide. (CO2 = carbon dioxide)
• If there is only one atom for both elements, you don’t write the “mono” for the first element, but you do for the 2nd element.
Examples: CO = carbon monoxide
