The Roman numerals in fact show the oxidation number, but in simple ionic compounds (i.e., not metal complexes) this will always equal the ionic charge on the metal. For a simple overview see [1] Archived 2008-10-16 at the Wayback Machine , for more details see selected pages from IUPAC rules for naming inorganic compounds Archived 2016-03-03 ...
For type-I ionic binary compounds, the cation (a metal in most cases) is named first, and the anion (usually a nonmetal) is named second. The cation retains its elemental name (e.g., iron or zinc), but the suffix of the nonmetal changes to -ide. For example, the compound LiBr is made of Li + cations and Br − anions; thus, it is called lithium ...
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
IUPAC states that, "As one of its major activities, IUPAC develops Recommendations to establish unambiguous, uniform, and consistent nomenclature and terminology for specific scientific fields, usually presented as: glossaries of terms for specific chemical disciplines; definitions of terms relating to a group of properties; nomenclature of chemical compounds and their classes; terminology ...
substitutive naming based on parent hydrides (GeCl 2 Me 2 dichlorodimethylgermane) additive naming ([MnFO 3] fluoridotrioxidomanganese) Additionally there are recommendations for the following: naming of cluster compounds; allowed names for inorganic acids and derivatives; naming of solid phases e.g. non-stoichiometric phases

In the US the IUPAC naming conventions for inorganic compounds are taught at high school, but not as a 'required' part of the curriculum. [2] A well-known university-level textbook follows the IUPAC recommendations. [3] In practice any reference to "phosphite" should be investigated to determine the naming convention being employed.
The substituent name for a ring compound is cyclo. The indication (substituent name) for a six carbon chain is hex. The chemical ending for a single bonded carbon chain is ane. The chemical ending for an alcohol is ol. The two chemical endings are combined for an ending of anol indicating a single bonded carbon chain with an alcohol attached to it.
