Introduction

In this lesson: I can name compounds from their chemical formulae. The name of a simple metal–non-metal compound ends '-ide' to indicate bonding has occurred. Some common groups of compounds are metal carbonates, metal sulfates and metal nitrates.

Show transcript
The name of a simple metal–non-metal compound ends '-ide' to indicate bonding has occurred. Some common groups of compounds are metal carbonates, metal sulfates and metal nitrates. Compounds of metal atoms bonded to -CO₃ are called metal carbonates. Compounds of metal atoms bonded to -SO₄ are called metal sulfates. Compounds of metal atoms bonded to -NO₃ are called metal nitrates.
