Talk:Chemical nomenclature

Suggested content
At heading Compositional nomenclature, perhaps can be included the distinction between source- and structure-deived names for polymers. See e.g. introduction to polyethene. The fourth line under the heading "Compositional nomenclature" uses the word "suffices" - shouldn't that be 'prefixes'? Tin (II) chloride instead of tin dichloride. Di- is a prefix, not a suffix. 24.8.50.176 (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

IUPAC nomenclature → Chemical nomenclature —
 * This article covers not only IUPAC nomenclature Wickey-nl (talk) 11:02, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Object it needs a full RM discussion, as it was recently rewritten. Perhaps it should be split into two articles instead. 65.94.44.124 (talk) 05:29, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Chemical nomenclature should certainly not be a redirect to IUPAC nomenclature, as IUPAC nomenclature is part of Chemical nomenclature. IUPAC nomenclature can be either a section of Chemical nomenclature, or a separate article. I think the last one will be the better sollution.--Wickey-nl (talk) 16:55, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There are many chemical nomenclatures, but only one IUPAC nomenclature. And the latter topic should have enough content for its own article. Cacycle (talk) 07:39, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * You are right. A good overview of history can be found in the IUPAC Recommendations 2005: http://www.iupac.org/publications/books/rbook/Red_Book_2005.pdf

 * Object - Split into two articles IUPAC nomenclature and chemical nomenclature. The former includes terminology (e.g. Orange Book) in addition to the naming of compounds. --Kkmurray (talk) 14:37, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Confused
Examples of compositional names are:

PCl5 phosphorus pentachloride N2O4 dinitrogen tetraoxide An alternative method uses the oxidation state on the metal in place of suffices, e.g.:

SnCl2, tin(II) chloride as an alternative to tin dichloride. Generally this system, known as Stock nomenclature or international nomenclature, is preferred over the prefix system for ionic compounds. wouldn't tin (II)cloride be covalent? Not confident enough to mess with the article... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.26.104.63 (talk) 04:17, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

What about examples Mallory Mcbrown (talk) 21:12, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

various problems
Differing aims... - typo - last sentence - "...of the word AT odds with...". Type-II - polyatomic ions - "types of" should be deleted. Peroxide (last in list), for example, contains two atoms but only one type of atom. Why are acetate and permanganate on the same line? Type-III - diphosphorus pentoxide is actually tetraphosphorus decoxide so this isn't a very good example. 69.72.92.109 (talk) 05:41, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Can't Find References
Hi, I spent a little time trying to fix the 'CS1' errors in the references. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the papers referenced as. or. I couldn't even find this 'J. Phys.' that the papers were published in. If anyone knows, please add the titles to the template and also link to the articles as they are certainly in the public domain.

Reactivity of metals
Reactivity refer to how metals react chemically with atmospheric oxygen,water and acids. Mallory Mcbrown (talk) 21:09, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
