NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS: METAL CHARGES Some metals have more than one common ion: n iron: Fe 2+ or Fe 3+ n copper: Cu 1+ or Cu 2+ n tin: Sn 2+ or Sn 4+ Use STOCK system or CLASSICAL system to name these compounds.
NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS: STOCK SYSTEM Roman numeral = charge of the ion n Fe 2+ is named iron (II) n Fe 3+ is named iron (III) n Cu 1+ = copper (I) n Cu 2+ = copper (II)
NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS: STOCK SYSTEM examples: Fe. Cl 2 iron (II) chloride Pb. F 4 lead (IV) fluoride Cu 2 O copper (I) oxide Sn. S 2 tin (IV) sulfide
NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS: CLASSICAL SYSTEM root word for element + new suffix n –ous = lower charged ion n –ic = higher charged ion n Fe 2+ = ferrous ion, Fe 3+ = ferric ion n Cu 1+ = cuprous ion, Cu 2+ = cupric ion
NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS: CLASSICAL SYSTEM examples: Fe. Cl 2 ferrous chloride Pb. F 4 plumbic fluoride Cu 2 O cuprous oxide Sn. S 2 stannic sulfide
