In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages
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; For a simple compound such as AlCl 3 the different naming conventions yield the following:
