Naming Simple Compounds RULE #1: When naming a compound that consists of a metallic element bonded to a non-metallic element. The rule is quite simple: The name of the metallic element comes first, this is followed by the name of the non-metallic element; however, the non-metallic element has its name changed to end in "IDE". For example: CaBr₂: We know that there is one Calcium atom and two Bromine atoms for every molecule. Because this compound is simply made of a metal and a non-metal we use “RULE #1”. Therefore the proper name of this compound is “Calcium Bromide” Now work on these: RbCl = RUBIDIUM CHLORIDE FrAt = FRANCIUM ASTATIDE KBr = POTASSIUM BROMIDE NaCl = SODIUM CHLORIDE AlF₃ = ALUMINUM FLUORIDE RbF = RUBIDIUM FLUORIDE CaBr₂ = CALCIUM BROMIDE FrCl = FRANCIUM CHLORIDE LiF = LITHIUM FLUORIDE KI = POTASSIUM IODIDE HCl = HYDROGEN CHLORIDE Fe₂O₃ = IRON OXIDE CsF = CESIUM FLUORIDE 14. BaO = BARIUM OXIDE 15. MgS = MAGNESIUM SULPHIDE 16. HI (and I don't mean Hello!) = HYDROGEN IODIDE 17. LiCl = LITHIUM CHLORIDE 18. K₂S = POTASSIUM SULPHIDE 19. AgBr = SILVER BROMIDE 20. Be₃P₂ = BERYLLIUM PHOSPHIDE 21. MgTe = MAGNESIUM TELLURIDE 22. ScP = SCANDIUM PHOSPHIDE 23. Li₂Se = LITHIUM SELENIDE 24. RaO = RADIUM OXIDE 25. ZnSe = ZINC SELENIDE
