Understanding Salts and Their Formation
This page introduces the fundamental concepts of sali binari e ternari nomenclatura and their formation processes. Salts are compounds formed when hydrogen atoms in acids are replaced by metal atoms.
Definition: Salts are chemical compounds formed through the substitution of hydrogen atoms in acids with metal atoms.
Highlight: There are three main types of salts: neutral, double, and hydrated complex salts.
Binary Salts compostibinariesempi:
- Composed of a metal and non-metal
- Follow specific IUPAC naming conventions using -ure suffix
- Utilize numerical prefixes for precise composition
Example: NaCl is named sodium chloride IUPAC:chlorureofsodium
Example: Al₂S₃ is named trissulfure of dialuminium
The Stock notation system:
Example: SnCl₄ becomes chlorure of tinIV
Traditional nomenclature system:
Vocabulary: Uses suffixes -ous loweroxidationstate and -ic higheroxidationstate
Example: FeCl₂ ferrouschloride and FeCl₃ ferricchloride
