Nomenclature
w/ oxidation numbers
1. The name of the cation (metal) is first. It
will have its entire element name.
2. The anion (nonmetal) will have its
element name with its –ide ending

Criss Cross/Swap & Drop
Method
1. Write the symbol and charge for each
element.
2. The anion’s charge becomes the # of
cations
3. The cation’s charge becomes the # of
anions
4. Reduce if necessary. (if there is a
common factor)
For example
Calcium chloride
Ca 2+ Cl 1cation
anion
CaCl2
For example
Barium sulfide
Ba 2+ S 2cation
anion
Ba2S2
Reduce.

*Use your reference sheet to determine ions of different
transition metals.
1. The cation (metal) will have its entire
name with its charge in parentheses.
2. The anion will have its element name
with its –ide ending.
3. You will need to reverse the criss cross
method to find the cations charge.
Example
CoI2
•

•
Cobalt (?) iodide
Use the criss cross method in reverse.
Write the element symbols with their subscripts and
the charge of the anion.
CoX1 I1-2
Set up an equation equal to zero using the charges
and number of each element. The charge of the cation
is x (unknown). Then solve for x.
1(x) + (1-)(2) = 0
1x - 2=0
X= 2+

Tertiary Ionic Compound
Nomenclature
Tertiary Ionic Compounds
• Composed of
– positively charged Polyatomic ion +
nonmetal (anion)
– Metal (cation) + negatively charged
polyatomic ion
– Two polyatomic ions (one positive and one
negative charge)
Writing Formulas with oxidation #s
1. Write symbol and charge for each
element or polyatomic ion
2. Use the crisscross method.
3. Polyatomic ions must remain in
parenthesis with the amount written
outside as a subscript.
i.e. 2 nitrate ions (NO3)2
Try these examples
1. Magnesium hydroxide
2. Potassium sulfate
Naming
•
Must be able to recognize polyatomic
ions.
1. Name the cation and (-) charge poly ion
2. Name the (+)polyatomic ion and name
the anion.
3. Name both polyatomic ion.
Example
1. CaCr2O4
2. KClO3
• Calcium dichromate
• Potassium chlorate
Naming Formulas without
Oxidation Numbers
•
Must include charge of the cation
(transition metal).
• Will only include the tertiary ionic
compounds with a cation (transition
metal) and polyatomic ion.
1. Name the cation with its charge. May
require using the criss cross method
reversed.
2. Name the polyatomic ion.
Example: Sn3(PO4)2
1. The charge of your cation is the number
of anions.
Or
SnX3 (PO4)3-2
3x + (3-)(2)=0
3x-6=0
3x=6
X=2+
