EXAMPLE:
Define the chemical name of N2O3 Answer: N 2O 3
Na2CO3
Cation(metallic element) : Na+ (sodium) Anion (polyatomic ion) : CO32- (Carbonate) Compound name : Sodium Carbonate (not disodium carbonate) Ca(OH)2 Metal name : Ca (calcium) Compound name : Calcium Hydroxide (not calcium dihydroxide)
The nomenclature of polyatomic acid comounds (oxy acid compound) is similar with binary acid that is by defining the polyatomic anion then the H elements (acid).
Example:
Define the chemical name of H2CO3 and H2SO4
Answer: H2CO3 Polyatomic Anion : CO32- (carbonate) Compound name : Carbonate acid
H2SO4
