an Ionic compound in which one element is metal and the other element is non metal

A metal that only forms one type of positive ion and that ion always has the same magnitude

a metal that forms more than one type of positive ion, each ion having a different Magnitude

Example Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺

A compound in which three elements are present; one element in a monoatomic ion and the others in a polyatomic ion

A Compound in which two nonmetallic elements are present

A name for a compound based on IUPAC Rules that conveys information about the composition of that compound

Example: H₂O is Hydrogen Oxide

A name for a compound that is not based on IUPAC Rules and that does not convey information about the composition of that compound

Example H₂O is water

Non-oxyacids exist as both pure compounds and water solutions

• HCl (g) is Hydrogen chloride
• HCl (aq) is Hydrochloric acid
