Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
How are transition metals named in metal compounds?
A roman numeral in parentheses follows the name of the metal... apex
What is the name of compounds that contains carbon?
They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.
What is another name for carbon compounds?
Another name for carbon compounds is organic compounds. These compounds are based on carbon and typically also contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements. They are found in all living organisms and are essential for life.
How are covalent compounds named?
Covalent compounds are named by first looking at how many atoms the first element in a molecule has. We'll use H2O as an example (although it is commonly known as water). Since the H contributes two atoms to the molecule it has the prefix di-. If it had one it would be mono-, three, tri-, etc. The second element also follows that same rule, however, the ending is changed as well. In the case of oxygen, the -ygen is taken off and replaced by -ide. Therefore, the molecule H2O is also known as dihydrogen oxide.
Why are there no compounds named cyclomethane or cycloethane. Why don't we make the Avogadro constant some convenient round number such as 1 x 10 25?
Cyclomethane and cycloethane: "cyclo" referes to a closed shape (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, etc.), for that you need at least three points (in this case carbon). Therefore it is impossible to make a "cyclo" structure with one dot/carbon (methane) or two dot/carbon (ethane) Avogadro's constant: It was the original value, and to honour the scientist who discovered it, the scientific comunity is keeping it that way. It's just the way things are: why does a dozen = 12 and not something like 10? Why is pi or e such a weird number? etc.
What reacts with 1-methyl cyclohexanol to form 1-chloro cyclomethane?
HCl, and you get water as another product.
Are Ionic compounds named using numerical prefixes?
No, Ionic compounds are named using the names of the individual ions that make up the compound. Numerical prefixes are used in naming molecular covalent compounds.
Binary ionic compounds are named in what pattern?
Binary ionic compounds are named by first stating the name of the cation (metal) followed by the name of the anion (nonmetal) with an -ide ending.
Are there certain ways of naming compounds?
Yes, compounds can be named in different ways depending on the system being used. Common naming systems include the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system for organic compounds and the Stock system for inorganic compounds. Additionally, compounds can also be named based on their common or trivial names.
When naming binary ionic compounds are the nonmetal is named first?
No, the metal is named first in binary ionic compounds. The name of the metal cation is followed by the name of the nonmetal anion, with the nonmetal's name ending in "-ide". For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
Can some kinds of organic compounds be named?
Proteins, carbohydrates, and many others.
What is the name for FeCl in roman numerals?
Chemical compounds are not named in Roman numerals!
