中学化学物质的英文命名

化合物的英文命名（Nomenclature of compounds）

I 无机物的命名(Inorganic compounds)

1 元素与单质的命名

“元素”和“单质”的英文意思都是“element”，有时为了区别，在强调“单质”时可用“free element”。因此，单质的英文名称与元素的英文名称是一样的。下面给出的既是元素的名称，同时又是单质的名称。

2 化合物的命名

化合物的命名顺序都是根据化学式从左往右读，这与中文读法顺序是相反的。表示原子个数时使用前缀(1)mono-,(2)di -,(3)tri- ,(4)tetra – ,(5)penta- (6)hexa-,(7)hepta-, (8)octa-,(9)nona-,(10)deca-,但是在不会引起歧义时，这些前缀都尽可能被省去。

①Naming metal ions (cations) for metal oxides, bases and salts

i. Single valence ions

Cation’s name = Element

for example:

Na+ Sodium Al3+ Aluminum

K+ Potassium Ca2+ Calcium

ii.Multivalence ions

Cation’s name = Element(N)

For example:

Fe2+ Iron(II) or Ferrous

Fe3+ Iron(III) or Ferric

Cr2+ Chromium(II)

Cr3+ Chromium(III)

Mn4+ Manganese(IV)

Mn2+ Manganese(II)

对于有变价的金属元素，除了可用前缀来表示以外，更多采用罗马数字来表示金属的氧化态，或用后缀-ous表示低价，-ic表示高价。

如 FeO: iron(II)oxide 或 ferrous oxide

Fe2O3: iron (III) oxide或ferric oxide

Cu2O: copper(I) oxide 或cuprous oxide

CuO: copper(II)oxide或cupric oxide

②Naming nonmetal ions (anions)

i. Monatomic anions

Anion’s name = Element’s root -ide

For example:

Cl- Chloride O2- Oxide

Br- Bromide OH- Hydroxide I- Iodide CN- Cyanide

S2- Sulfide H- Hydride

ii. Polyatomic oxyanions

a. Acid radicals for normal salt(正酸根 -ate )

Anion’s name = Central Element’s root -ate

for example:

ClO3- Chlor ate IO3- Iod ate

PO43- Phosph ate NO3- Nitr ate

SO42- Sulf ate CO32- Carbon ate

b. Acid radicals for meta-salts (亚酸根 -ite )

Anion’s name = Central element’s root -ite

for example:

ClO2- Chlor ite IO2- Iod ite
