Chemical Names
  • Start with the cation name, followed by the anion name; use prefixes to clarify any ambiguity
  • Anion and cation names are derived from element names
  • Organic compounds: Names are based on a separate nomenclature system; many compounds have common nonsystematic names
Chemical Formulas
  • Cation symbol followed by anion
  • Subscripts denote relative composition
  • Enclose polyatomic ions or molecules in parentheses
  • Molecular formula: Discrete molecule
  • Empirical formula: Relative molar ratio of elements for solids or molecules
