How do you name a compound when the elements are in the same column in the periodic table?
Actually, these rules don't have so much to do with the same column as the same metal/nonmetal grouping on the periodic table.
If they are both nonmetals, then you use numeric prefixes on each element or chemical group that is involved, because the number of oxidation states often varies, and the name needs to explicitly state what the chemical bonding is:
- PO4 - phosphorus tetroxide
- P2O5 - diphosphorus pentoxide
If you have a metal and a nonmetal, then you just specify the metal (if it is a transition metal, with multiple oxidation states, then specify the oxidation number) and the nonmetal with "-ide" suffix:
- NaCl - sodium chloride
- Cu(OH)2 - copper (II) hydroxide
What else can I help you with?

What is a compound in a periodic table?
182 I don't think there are compounds in the periodic table. As far as I know the periodic table contains only elements, compounds are formed by ionic/covalent bonding which is another story already. http://www.webelements.com/

Is salt in the column of oxygen in the periodic table of elements?
First off, there is no "salt" on the periodic table of the elements. Salt is a compound. However, you may be talking about "sodium". If that's the case, sodium is NOT in the same column as oxygen in the periodic table. Sodium is in the first column while oxygen is in the sixteenth column.

Why is water not found in periodic table?
Water is a COMPOUND of two(2) elements, viz. Hydrogen(H) and Oxygen(O). These tqo elements are both found in the Periodic Table. The Periodic Table is a list of ELEMENTS, not compounds.
What is the name of a column of elements in the periodic table?

What is a group of elements in the periodic table?
A group in the periodic table is a column of elements that share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electrons in their outer energy level. Groups are vertical columns and are numbered from 1 to 18.
