My theory is that if the chemical is on the Periodic Table then it will have one name like oxygen, titanium and meitnerium, but ones that aren't on the periodic table have two names like copper sulfate, carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid.

Why do some chemicals only have one name and some have two?

Chemicals that have been known for many years had names that predated the IUPAC standard names we use today. One of my favorites is copper sulfate. It used to be known as bluestone or blue vitriol. It was called this because you make it by heating oil of vitriol (today known as sulfuric acid) and adding copper to it, and blue crystals would precipitate.
