Name this binary ionic compounds PbCl2 andPbCl4?
the first one is Lead (II) Chloride.. :)
When is it appropriate to use prefixes when naming compounds?
Almost always. Especially when there are more than one atom of the first element in the compound.
True or false in naming the ionic compounds the cation is always named first and the anion second?
This system is not valid for all languages.
What are the rules in naming binary molecular compounds?
1. You must memorize the charges of an element2. You must memorize the atomic mass and atomic no.3. Be patient4. you must have a pad paper and fold it to lengthwise5. practice the use of octet rule6. memorize the greek word of an element7. smile8. Don't be mad9. Relax and rehabilitate what is wrong and write10. Never go back to this site again .hope i help :)
What is the rule when naming ionic compounds with variable oxidation numbers?
name the metal first followed by the non metal retaining the rootword and suffixes "ions" #mariele duldulao
What is the rule used for naming a binary compound composed of a metal bonded to a nonmetal?
The first is the metal, the second is the nonmetal with the suffix -ide; ex.: sodium chloride.
In naming a binary ionic compound the name of the appears first followed by the name of the?
Binary ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the action, followed by the name of the anion. Potassium bromide is an example of an ionic compound.
Does the first element in a binary compound have a charge?
hey i am in chem. now and this is a question on my worksheet my notes said that compound composed of 2 different element the total charge ot the cations = total charge of anions so if it helps i put yes they are always ionic but i gused so good luck to you
What are molecule compounds?
Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)
How do you name compounds with ionic bonds?
Metal first and ide added to nonmetal trailer. Sodium chloride. ============

What substances are binary compounds?
There are lots and lots of them! Anything that only contains two elements is called a binary compound.See the Web Links to the left for more information about them!
Why is sulfur calcium wrong?
In compounds consisting of a metal and nonmetal, the metal (calcium) is written first and the nonmetal (sulfur) has the end replaced with -ide. So the correct name for a compound of calcium and sulfur is calcium sulfide.
When is it appropriate to use prefixes when naming compounds?
Almost always. Especially when there are more than one atom of the first element in the compound.
True or false in naming the ionic compounds the cation is always named first and the anion second?

What are rules in naming binary compounds?
=A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a metal, and the other a nonmetal. For example, sodium iodide, NaI, is composed of sodium ions, Na+ (elemental sodium is a metal), and iodide ions, I- (elemental iodine is a nonmetal). Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name. Rule 2. The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium"). Rule 3. The anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide"). Note: Greek prefixes are not used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the formula unit for the compound (e.g., Na2O is named "sodium oxide" not "disodium oxide", or "disodium monoxide").=
