AP Chemistry -- Acids and the Nomenclature of Ions
I. Binary Acids and Monatomic Anions:
Binary Acids are those molecular compounds beginning with hydrogen and ending with another nonmetal or
possibly a metalloid. Note that HCN, hydrocyanic acid is also included in this group. To make the acids into
monatomic anions, remove the hydrogens -- one at a time. Each hydrogen removed leaves the anion with a -1
charge.
Binary Acid Naming Rule = hydro prefix - root of 2nd element -ic suffix acid
Anion Naming Rule = drop the prefix and the word acid, change the suffix to -ide
acid formulaacid name ion formula ion name
Examples: HF hydrofluoric acid F
-1
fluoride
HCl hydrochloric acid Cl
-1
chloride
HBr hydrobromic acid Br

bromide
HI hydroiodic acid I

HCN hydrocyanic acid CN

S hydrosulfuric acid HS

hydrogen sulfide or bisulfide
S
-2

3
hydrazoic acid N

azide
II. Ternary Acids or Oxy-Acids:
Ternary acids contain three of more elements. They start with hydrogen, end with oxygen, and have another
nonmetal or metalloid in between. To make the acids into polyatomic anions, remove the hydrogens -- one at a time.
Each hydrogen removed leaves the anion with a -1 charge. Each ternary acid belongs to a family of potentially four
members. One member of the family is designated the "parent acid." You must memorize the names and formulas
of the common parent acids.
Ternary Acid Family Naming Rules:
HIO
4 (add an oxygen to parent) add per- prefix to parent name: periodic acid
** HIO
3
parent acid ** iodic acid
HIO
2 (remove one oxygen) change suffix to -ous: iodous acid
HIO (remove a second oxygen) add hypo- prefix to -ous name: hypoiodous acid
Anion Naming Rule = drop the word acid
change -ic suffix to -ate
change -ous suffix to -ite

FAQs

What are the main types of ions covered in the AP Chemistry Ion Sheet?
The AP Chemistry Ion Sheet covers two main types of ions: monatomic and polyatomic ions. Monatomic ions include elements like sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-), and sulfate (SO4^2-). Polyatomic ions consist of multiple atoms bonded together, such as nitrate (NO3-) and phosphate (PO4^3-). Understanding these ions is crucial for naming compounds and balancing chemical equations, making this sheet a valuable resource for AP Chemistry students.
How are binary acids named according to the AP Chemistry Ion Sheet?
Binary acids are named by using the 'hydro' prefix followed by the root of the second element and the '-ic' suffix, ending with 'acid.' For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) derives from chloride (Cl-). When the hydrogen is removed, it forms the corresponding anion, chloride. This naming convention helps students identify and understand the relationship between acids and their anions.
What is the significance of the ternary acids in the AP Chemistry Ion Sheet?
Ternary acids, or oxyacids, are significant because they contain hydrogen, oxygen, and another nonmetal. The AP Chemistry Ion Sheet outlines how to name these acids based on their oxygen content. For instance, iodic acid (HIO3) becomes iodate (IO3-) when the hydrogen is removed. Understanding these naming conventions is essential for students as they prepare for the AP Chemistry exam and work with various chemical reactions.
What rules are provided for naming ionic compounds?
The AP Chemistry Ion Sheet outlines specific rules for naming ionic compounds, emphasizing the importance of identifying cations and anions. The cation is named first, followed by the anion, using appropriate suffixes such as '-ide,' '-ite,' or '-ate.' If the cation has multiple charges, a Roman numeral is included to indicate its charge. These rules are crucial for accurately naming compounds and understanding their chemical properties.
What are some examples of common parent ternary acids listed in the sheet?
Common parent ternary acids listed in the AP Chemistry Ion Sheet include carbonic acid (H2CO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Each of these acids has corresponding anions, such as carbonate (CO3^2-), sulfate (SO4^2-), and phosphate (PO4^3-). Memorizing these acids and their anions is vital for students as they prepare for the AP Chemistry exam and engage in discussions about chemical reactions.
