A Little Joke on Nomenclature A research chemist walked into a pharmacy and asks, “Do you have (5 a, 6 a)-7, 8 -didehydro-4, 5 epoxy-3 -methoxy-17 -methylmorphinan-6 -ol? ” The pharmacist scratched her head and said, “Do you mean codeine? ” “That’s it!”, said the chemist, “I can never remember that word!” Malone and Dolter - Basic Concepts of Chemistry 9 e 24
4 -3 Naming and Writing Formulas of Metal-Nonmetal Binary Compounds n n Binary compounds are composed of two different elements Two types of metal-nonmetal binary compounds n n Metals exhibiting only one oxidation state forming a compound with a nonmetal Metals exhibiting two or more oxidation states forming a compound with a nonmetal Malone and Dolter - Basic Concepts of Chemistry 9 e 25
