Find the names of these compunds
« on: September 18, 2005, 11:47:05 AM »
I have to find the names of these compunds

FeCl2 - Iron Dichloride
TiCl4 - Titanuim Tetrachloride
CoS - Cobalt Sulfide
FeBr3 - Iron(III) Tribromide
NaNO2 - Sodium Nitrate
Li3PO4 - Lithium Phosphate
ICl3 - Iodine Trichloride
Pl3 - ?
SO2 - Sulfide

Are these right?

FeCl2 - it's a salt, write the charge but no di, tri, ...: Iron(II)-chloride
TiCl4 - v.a.
CoS - v.a.
FeBr3 - v.a.
NaNO2 - look what NO2- really is

Pl3 - Phosphorous-tri-iodide
SO2 - sulfur dioxide
(named as any molecule don't write oxidation numbers but counting: di, tri, ...)

Ionic compounds and covalent compounds have different systems of nomenclature.  Ionic compounds generally consist of a metal and a non-metal or contain polyatomic ions.  Covalent compounds generally consist of only non-metals.  Please review your general chemistry book for how to name covalent compounds and ionic compounds.
