Could someone please check these and tell me if they are correct?  Thanks in advance!   I was given the name and had to come up with the formula:

a) HCL - hydrochloric acid
b) HNO₂ - nitrous acid
c) H₂SO₄ - sulphuric acid
d) HBrO₃ - bromic acid
e) SrO - strontium oxide
f) RbClO₂ - rubidium chlorite
g) MnI₂OH - manganese (II) iodite
h) WF₆ - tungsten hexafluroide
i) HFO - hypofluorous acid
j) NH₄OH - ammonium hydroxide
k) H₂S - hydrosulphuric acid
l) NaO₂ - sodium peroxide
m) P₄ - phosphorus
n) O₂ - oxygen gas
o) K₂BrO₄ - potassium perbromate

g) MnI₂OH - manganese (II) iodite
k) H₂S - hydrosulphuric acid
l) NaO₂ - sodium peroxide
o) K₂BrO₄ - potassium perbromate

Something wrong with these (which doesn't mean all others are OK - English nomenclature is not a thing I want to talk about).

g - are you sure about formula? If formula is correct, name is wrong.
k - hydrogen sulfide IMHO.
l - superoxide, peroxide is Na₂O₂
o - are you sure about formula? AFAIK there is no such compound.

EDIT: Oops, I misread your post - I thought you had to name compounds with given names.

Thats really a very good atempt at those formulas.
One small error is that hydrochloric acid is HCl, but I'm sure HCL was just a typo!
You got rubidium chlorite right, but manganese (II) iodite incorrect. (iodite ion is (IO₂)^-)
I would also write hypofluorous acid as HOF rather than HFO since the bonding in it is F-O-H
Hydrosulfuric acid is right, but I think it has to be aqueous for H₂S to be considered acidic.
The peroxide ion has a charge of 2-, so sodium peroxide needs to be corrected.
Remember that bromine usually has odd-number oxidation states, so the perbromate ion has a charge of 1-.

This website may help out a bit in naming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyatomic_ion

It has a list of polyatomic ions. Watch capitalization with a). It's HCl not HCL. I'm sure it's just a typo, but some teachers/professors are probably anal about those kinds of things.

[jennielynn_1980]

Okay, so are they right now?

g) Mn(IO₂)₂ (manganese iodite) Or am I missing an H atom?
l) Na₂O₂ (sodium peroxide)
o) KBrO₄ (potassium perbromate) Or is this one KBrO?

btw the HCL was a typo but thanks for pointing it out because I would've submitted it that way.

Perfect! Very good . (the "per" prefix in the name means that its got 4 of something in it (I think!))

(the "per" prefix in the name means that its got 4 of something in it (I think!))

per means you're considering a compound where an atom has its highest oxidation number.

I'm such a moron sometimes- sorry. Of course I'm wrong- theres peroxide, persulfide, persulfate, perchromate etc.
I think I said that because I was thinking of permangante .

Finally I got something right!

Can I post a few more for someone to check?  I really appreciate this!  In these ones, I was given the formula and then I had to name it:

a) ZnI₂ = zinc iodide
b) BrF = bromine fluoride
c) H₂O₂ = hydrogen peroxide
d) FeSO₃ = iron sulfite
e) CaH₂ = calcium hydride
f) BaHPO₃ = barriuim phosphate
g) CuNO₃ = cuprous nitrate
h) MnO₂ = manganese dioxide
i) NH₄OH = ammonium hydroxide
j) AgIO = silver iodite
k) SO₂ = sulfur dioxide
l) Li₂O = lithium oxide

[Will]

d) FeSO₃ = iron sulfite
f) BaHPO₃ = barriuim phosphate
g) CuNO₃ = cuprous nitrate
h) MnO₂ = manganese dioxide
j) AgIO = silver iodite

You have to quote the oxidation numbers of the transition metals normally, so for FeSO₃ it would be iron(II) sulfite
BaHPO₃ is barium phosphonate
CuNO₃ is copper(I) nitrate
MnO₂ is manganese(IV) oxide, although I think manganese dioxide can also be used in the same way that titanium dioxide is.
I think AgIO is silver(I) hypoiodite.

Its a bit hard to give hints for these, so I just corrected them .

I think all the rest are right though.

[jennielynn_1980]

Is cuprous nitrate the same as copper (I) nitrate but I just used the old naming system?  Just wondering if I was totally wrong in the name or just outdated

Also, I haven't heard of phosphonate...where does that name come from?  Obviously phosphorus but what else?

[Albert]

I'd say the latter. However, it's good to be a little bit old-fashioned, sometimes.

Just outdated! They mean exactly the same thing, but nowadays I think that a majority of the time you should include the oxidation state of the transition metal.

Albert beat me to it .
