Unit+1-+Naming+compounds

__**Covalent Compounds **__ This is any type of compound that has 2 or more non-metals. The ammount of each element found in the compound is shown through the use of a prefix, as defined in the table below; then simply add the suffix -ide to the end of the second element. **__Ionic Compounds__ **
 * Mono - 1 *Never used in first term* || Di - 2 ||
 * Tri - 3 || Tetra - 4 ||
 * Penta - 5 || Hexa - 6 ||
 * Hepta - 7 || Octa - 8 ||
 * Nona - 9 || Deca - 10 ||
 * Undeca - 11 || <span style="color: rgb(152, 143, 183)">Dodeca - 12 ||

Comprised of Cations and Anions. Cations (metals or polyatomic ions.) are positively charged ions, while Anions (non-metals) are negatively charged ions. In an Ionic Compound the Cation is always named first. You then need to look at the charge, reduce if possible, and then trade them over as a denotation.

When dealing with transition metals you're basically doing normal Ionic Compounds, except you need to take special note to the charge of the Metal before you do any crossing.

(ex: Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 = Iron(III) Sulfate)


 * Remembering that we had to criss cross before they became an Ionic compound, we see that Iron actually had a 3+ charge, while Sulfate had a 2- charge prior to the reaction, since Iron is a transition metal, we would then say Iron(III).*
