This lesson is divided into the following sections:

II. Latin names of acids.

III. Latin names of oxides, peroxides, hydroxides.

IV. Exercises.

I. LATIN NAMES OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS

All Latin names of chemical elements are neuter nouns of the 2^nd declension:

E.g.: Bromum, i n; Iodum, i n; Bismŭthum, i n

There are two exceptions to this rule:

· sulfur - Sulfur, ŭris n (3rd declension)

· phosphorus - Phosphŏrus, i m (masculine)

Special attention must be given to the spelling of the following chemical elements:

Chemical element	Latin	English
Bi	Bismŭthum, i n	bismuth
Сa	Calcĭum, i n	calcium
F	Fluōrum, i n or Phthorum, i n	fluorine
Fe	Ferrum, i n	iron
H	Hydrogenĭum, i n	hydrogen
Hg	Hydrargўrum, i n	mercury
K	Kalĭum, i n	potassium
Mg	Magnesĭum, i n or Magnĭum, i n	magnesium
Na	Natrĭum, i n	sodium
O	Oxygenĭum, i n	oxygen
Pb	Plumbum, i n	lead
S	Sulfur, ŭris n	sulfur
Zn	Zincum, i n	zinc

II. LATIN NAMES OF ACIDs

The Latin names of acids consist of the noun “acĭdum”(acĭdum, i n - acid) and the concordant adjective of the 1^st group:

acĭdum + stem of the chemical element name + -ĭc/ōs- + -um

а) Latin adjectives with the suffix -ĭc- and the ending -um correspond to English adjectives ending by –ic.

E.g.:

· arsenic acid - Acĭdum arsenicĭcum (Arsenĭcum, i n ® arsenic + ĭc + um);

· sulphuric acid - Acĭdum sulfurĭcum (Sulfur, ŭris n ® sulfur + ĭc + um);

· silicic acid - Acĭdum silicĭcum (Silicĭum, i n ® silic + ĭc + um);

b) Latin adjectives with the suffix -ōs and the ending -um correspond to English adjectives ending by –ous.

E.g.:

· nitrous acid - Acĭdum nitrōsum (Nitrogenĭum, i n ® nitr + ōs + um);

· sulphurous acid - Acĭdum sulfurōsum (Sulfur, ŭris n ® sulfur + ōs + um);

· arsenicous acid - Acĭdum arsenicōsum (Arsenĭcum, i n ® arsenic + ōs + um).

c) Latin acid names with the prefix hydro- ending by -ĭcum correspond to English acid names with the prefix hydro- ending by -ic (Acĭdum hydrochlorĭcum – hydrochloric acid).

Attention!!! - Acid names used as drugs after pharmaceutical forms are written with the first capital letter:

E.g.:

· Tabulettae Acĭdi folĭci - tablets of folic acid

· Dragée Acĭdi ascorbinĭci - dragée of ascorbic acid

III. LATIN NAMES OF OXIDES, PEROXIDES, HYDROXIDES

Latin names of oxides, peroxides and hydroxides consist of two words:

· First one: name of a chemical element in Genitive

· Second one: word “oxўdum” (oxide), “peroxўdum” (peroxide) or “hydroxўdum” (hydroxide) in Nominative.

E.g.:

· Zinci oxўdum - zinc oxide

· Ferri oxўdum - ferric oxide

· Hydrogenĭi peroxўdum - hydrogen peroxide

· Calcĭi hydroxўdum - calcium hydroxide

Attention!!! - Names of oxides, peroxides and hydroxides are written after pharmaceutical forms with the first capital letter:

E.g.:

· Solutĭo Hydrogenĭi peroxўdi dilūta – diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide
