What is the first step in naming a compound?
1) Decide whether the compound is ionic, molecular or an acid -------------- Ionic - Compounds have Metal and Nonmeta Molecular - Two or more nonmetals Acid - Presence of Hydrogen and one or more nonmetals
If a compound is a acid compound, what is the second step in naming the compound?
2) Decide if the acid is binary (two-element) acid or an oxyacid (an acid containing oxygen). 3) If the acid is an oxyacid, the oxyanion ends in -ite is different than -ate.
If a compound is an ionic compound, what is the second step in naming the compound?
2) Decide whether the metal forms only one type of ion or more than one type of ion. Group 1A, Group 2A and Aluminum always form only one type of ion. If the ionic compound contains a polyatomic ion, we insert the name of the polyatomic ion in place of the metal or nonmetal.

2) Name according to the scheme - we only learned how to name binary molecular compounds.

A molecular element is an element that does not normally exist in nature with single atoms as the basic unit. These elements usually exist as diatomic molecules - 2 atoms of that element bonded together - as their basic units. Examples include: H2, O2 and Cl2
What is a molecular chemical formula?
A molecular formula is a formula for a compound that gives the specific number of each type of atom in a molecule. It is the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.

What is a structural chemical formula?
A structural formula is a two-dimensional representation of molecules that not only shows the number of and type of atoms, but also how many are bonded together.

What are atomic elements?
An atomic element is an element that exists in nature with single atoms as the basic unit. Most elements fall into this category.
What is an empirical chemical formula?
