Nomenclature of nonmetal nonmetal and nonmetal metal binary compounds

In this video I will explain how we can name the binary compounds formed by a metal and a nonmetal, or by two nonmetals.

In the formulation the most electropositive element is placed, followed by the most electronegative. At the time of naming them we reverse the order, first we will name the element most electronegative and then the plus element electronegative.

There are two naming systems: the IUPAC (systematic) and Stock.

IUPAC:

M- NM

(Mono / oli / tri… + -uro) + de + (mono / di / tri… + m / nm)

NaCl = monosodium monocuride

NM- NM

Cl2O3 dichloro trioxide

Stock:

M- NM

M + -uro) + de + m / nm (valence)

NaCl = Sodium chloride

NM- NM

Cl2O3 chlorine (III) oxide

In the video you will be able to see how we can name the binary compounds formed by a metal and a nonmetal, or by two nonmetals.. But if you are not completely clear about it, you can continue practicing with problems of this type by doing the printable exercises with their solutions that I have left you on the web. Good luck in your studies!
