How Chemical Naming Works
▼Chemical Nomenclature Systems
IUPAC Nomenclature: The systematic naming method established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It provides unambiguous names for chemical compounds based on their structure.
Common Naming Patterns
- Ionic Compounds: Metal cation + non-metal anion (e.g., NaCl = sodium chloride)
- Molecular Compounds: Use prefixes to indicate number of atoms (e.g., CO₂ = carbon dioxide)
- Acids: Special naming rules based on the anion present
