Naming Coordination Compounds The coordination compounds are named in the following way. B. In naming the complex ion: 5. Following the name of the metal, the oxidation state of the metal in the complex is given as a Roman numeral in parentheses * * Nomenclature of Inorganic chemistry Rules for naming cations (positive) Cations formed from metal atoms have the same name as the metal. Na+ sodium ion, Zn2+ zinc ion Ions formed from a single atom are called monoatomic ions. If a metal can form cations for differing charges the charge number is indicated by a roman numeral Fe2+ iron(II) ion, Fe3+ iron(III) ion Cu+ copper (I) ion, Cu2+ copper (II) ion Most variable charge ions are in the transition metals. Rules for naming anions (negative) Monoatomic anions are named by replacing the ending with –ide. H- hydride ion, O2- oxide ion Some polyatomic anions also have an –ide ending. OH- hydroxide ion, O22- peroxide ion Polyatomic ions containing oxygen (oxyanions). They in –ate and –ite NO3- nitrate ion, NO2- nitrite ion Rules for naming anions (negative) The prefix per- indicates one more O atom than the oxyanion ending –ate, the prefix hypo- indicates one less O atom than the oxyanion ending in –ite: ClO4- perchlorate ion (one more O atom than chlorate) ClO3- chlorate ion ClO2- chlorite ion (one less O atom than chlorate) ClO- hypochlorite ion (one less O atom than chlorite) Rules for naming anions (negative) ______ ide (chloride, Cl-) Simple anion naming Per____ate (perchlorate, ClO4-) ____ate (chlorate, ClO3-) ____ite (chlorite, ClO2-) Hypo____ite (perchlorate, ClO-) +O atom -O atom -O atom Common or representative oxyanion Rules for naming ions Rules for naming cations (positive) Rules for naming anions (negative) Naming acids Anion Naming ______ide (Cloride, Cl-) ____ate (chlorate, ClO3-) (perchlorate, ClO4-) ____ite (chlorite, ClO2-) (hypochlorite, ClO-) Hydro____ic acid (Hydrocloric Acid) What are the rules for naming acids? ______ic acid (chloric acid) (per
