Naming Inorganic Compounds

Not only are some inorganic compounds named using the kappa convention, others augment this kappa convention with a "priming" convention [49], All of these are, similarly, made obsolete by the proposed system. For example, the ion illustrated in Figure 25, which IUPAC names as aqua[(l,2-ethanediyldinitrilo-K2N,N ) (tetraacetato-K30,0",0 " )]cobaltate (1-) would be named as ... 

Note that there is one general case where the word acid may appear in a fully systematic name of an inorganic compound, namely when substitutive nomenclature is used and prescribes a suffix for the highest ranking substituent group which ends with the word acid . 

Curtius discovered HN3 [1] by reacting benzoylhydrazine with nitrous acid (b + g-type reaction). The resulting benzoyl azide was saponified, and sodium azide was isolated from the alkaline mixture. In 1903 Wislicenus [14] synthesized sodium azide solely from inorganic compounds, namely, sodium metal, ammonia, and dinitrogen oxide (a + e). The reaction proceeds in two steps, first converting ammonia with sodium to sodamide, and then reacting this with dinitrogen oxide to yield sodium azide. Fifty percent of the sodamide is decomposed to hydroxide and ammonia, and the overall balance of the process is...

The name of a compound as given in an article is stored with the substance data, yet is not a substance identifying attribute. For inorganic compounds names are not sufficient for a save retrieval since a unique system of nomenclature does not yet exist. 

See Secs. 3.1.2.2 and 3.1.2.8 for naming monatomic and certain polyatomic anions. When an organic group occurs in an inorganic compound, organic nomenclature (q.v.) is followed to name the organic part. 

The recommended names for these compounds (phosphinic acid and phosphinates) have not yet gained wide acceptance for inorganic compounds but are generally used for organophosphorus derivatives. Hypophosphites can be made by healing white phosphorus in aqueous alkali ... 

The vocabulary in this edition contains an estimated total of 59,000 terms, some of the larger additions being in the fields of chemical technology, electronics, and warfare. Additional meanings are given for many terms that were listed in the earher editions, The latest decisions in nomenclature are followed in particular, the Stock valence names for inorganic compounds are freely given, as well as the older names.

Nomenclature is the term referring to the naming of compounds. In this section, we will investigate how to name inorganic compounds. We will see how to name organic compounds in Chapter 21. In order to name compounds correctly, you will need to memorize certain elements and ions, and you will need to apply a few rules. 

This overview covers some of the rules for naming simple inorganic compounds. There are additional rules, and some exceptions to these rules. The first part of this overview discusses the rules for deriving a name from a chemical formula. In many cases, the formula may be determined from the name by reversing this process. The second part examines situations in which additional information is needed to generate a formula from the name of a compound. The transition metals present some additional problems therefore, there is a section covering transition metal nomenclature and coordination compounds. 

The chromophoric entities present in the inorganic compounds are of two types, namely ...
