This document discusses the nomenclature and formation of inorganic compounds. It focuses on binary compounds such as oxides, hydrates, hydroxides, acids and salts formed from metals and nonmetals. Specifically, it describes the naming and formation of haloid salts through the reaction of metals with nonmetallic halogens such as fluorine, chlorine and bromine. Examples of naming haloid salts using IUPAC nomenclature rules and balancing chemical equations for their formation are provided.
