Naming Binary Compounds

Binary Ionic Compounds (Type I)

  1. The cation (positively charged ion; Na+, Al3+) is always named first and the anion (negatively charged ion; Cl-, O2-) second.
  2. A monatomic (meaning one-atom) cation takes its name from the name of the element.  For example, Na+ is called sodium in the names of compounds containing this ion.
  3. A monatomic anion is named by taking the root of the element name and adding -ide.  Thus, the Cl- ion is called chloride, the S2- ion is called sulfide, and the O2- ion is called oxide.
Some common monatomic cations and anions are shown below
