There are two conventions used for naming Binary Organic Compounds:
1) Common Name usage2) Stock System
Recall: We used the Stock System when we namedIonic compounds
- Example Cr(NO3)3 is named Chromium (III) Nitrate
For Covalently bonded compounds it works prettyMuch the same
Naming conventionsNaming conventions

Rules for using the stock system to nameCovalent Compounds:
1)Place and Name the least electronegative element firstex: SO2 not O2S
2) Determine the Oxidation state of the 1st named elementex: SO2 S= +4
3) Use Roman Numerals to designate the oxidation numberex: SO2 is Sulfur (IV)
4) Ending for the More electronegative element is –ideex: SO2 is Sulfur (IV) Oxide

Stock Name ProblemsStock Name Problems
Using Stock System nomenclature name the following:
CBr4
SO3
N2O5
N20
Carbon (IV) Bromide
Sulfur (VI) Oxide
Nitrogen (V) Oxide
Nitrogen (I) oxide

Common Name SystemCommon Name System
In the Common naming system the following rulesApply:
1)Place and Name the least electronegative element first (just like in the stock system)
ex: PCl3 not Cl3P
2) Ending for the More electronegative element is –ide (again just like the stock system)
ex: Chlorine Chloride
3) Here’s the difference: Specify the NUMBER OF ATOMS as a prefix using the names in the following table…

Whats the StockSystem name?
(N ox. # =-3)

The prefix “Mono” isNot added to the 1st
Name of a compound
Ex: CO is
carbon monoxideNot
Monocarbon Monoxide

Common Name System ExceptionsCommon Name System Exceptions
Here are some Common Name exceptions dueto more familiar name usage:
NH3
O2
H2O
Ammonia not Nitrogen Trihydride
Oxygen not Dioxide or Dioxygen(same is true for other diatomics)
Water not Dihydrogen monoxide

Drawing Lewis Dot Structures
Let’s look at the rules for drawing these structuresLet’s look at the rules for drawing these structures

Rules for Drawing Covalent Lewis Rules for Drawing Covalent Lewis Dot StructuresDot Structures
Rules:Rules:
1)1)Count the total number of valence electrons for all atomsCount the total number of valence electrons for all atoms
- CO- CO22 1C = 4 electrons 1C = 4 electrons + 2O= 12 electrons+ 2O= 12 electrons = 16 electrons= 16 electrons
2) Connect the atoms by single covalent bonds (make it2) Connect the atoms by single covalent bonds (make it symmetrical if possible)symmetrical if possible)
O – C – OO – C – O Remember a single line represents 2eRemember a single line represents 2e--

3) Subtract the single bond electrons from the total numberof electrons
- CO2 16 electrons – 4 = 12 electrons
4) Add remaining electrons symmetrically as lone pairs

TEST: Do all atoms have an octet?
YES - THEN YOU’RE DONE !

Try the FollowingTry the Following
Draw the Lewis dot structure for N2H2
1)Count the total number of valence electrons for all atoms
- N2H2 2N = 10 electrons + 2H = 2 electrons = 12 electrons
2) Connect the atoms by single covalent bonds (make it symmetrical if possible)
H – N – N - H Symmetrical and H can only share 2 electrons

Try the followingTry the following
3) Subtract the single bond electrons from the total numberof electrons
H – N – N - H 12 electrons – 6 = 6 electrons
4) Add remaining electrons as lone pairs
TEST: DOES EVERY ATOM HAVE AN OCTET?
- NO? Move lone pairs into bonding positions
