SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the correct naming conventions for ionic compounds, specifically for the compounds Ca(MnO4)2, Ba(HCO3)2, UO3, and NaH2PO4. The correct names are Calcium permanganate, Barium hydrogen carbonate, Uranium oxide, and Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, respectively. The use of "ide" is clarified as being reserved for binary compounds, while polyatomic ions do not follow this rule. The participants emphasize the importance of verifying compound names through reliable sources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ionic compounds and their structures

Homework Statement


It's been a minute since I've used this stuff.
Name the Ionic Compound

Ca(MnO4)2
Ba(HCO3)2
UO3
NaH2PO4

Homework Equations


In my book it says you name the cation first then add an Ide to the root.
In UO3 this seems to work as its Uranium Oxide.
But for the others I am not sure. When i look it up online it doesn't have the ide in the root.[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


Calcium permanganide
Barium hydrogen carbonide
Uranium Oxide
Sodium dihydrogen phosphide
[/B]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Manganide? Carbonide? Phosphide? If you have a doubt make a search on the name you thought off and see if it corresponds to the given compound.
 
I'm just wondering why those don't include ide at the end
 
Hydride, carbide, sulfide, oxide, chloride etc. are reserved for compounds made of two elements only.
