CyberEd Teacher Study Guide: Naming Chemical Compounds
THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL SCIENCE EDUCATION STANDARDS RELATE

TO THIS STUDY GUIDE:
o Knows that atoms may be bonded together into molecules or

crystalline solids, and compounds are formed from chemical bonds
between two or more different kinds of atoms.
o There are more than 100 known elements that combine in a multitude
of ways to produce compounds, which account for the living and
nonliving substances that we encounter.

2. Split Personality: Sometimes the name of an element has a different origin than its
symbol. Complete the table below.
Name Origin of Name Symbol Origin of symbol
Gold Gold derives from the ancient
Sanskrit word for shining
yellow.
Sodium Sodium derives from the English Natrium derives from

word for its chemical source, Arabic and Greek words
soda. meaning soda (not from
the Latin for sea, as
mistakenly stated in the
lesson)
Potassium Kalium derives from alkali,
itself from the Arabic
words meaning saltwort
plant roasted in a pan

Scene 6
3. Keeping Up Appearances: Identify the elements in the table.
Name origin Element Element

Symbol
Named after the sky blue of the
spectral lines produced when it is heated
in a flame (not for its reflected color, as
mistakenly stated in the lesson).
Named for the various colorful

compounds it forms, using the Greek
word for color, chroma.
Named for the French and earlier Latin

word for charcoal.
Named after the Greek term for the

yellowish green color of its gaseous form
(quite hazardous as a gas).

Scene 7
4a. Fleeting Fame: These particular elements named for famous people are short-
lived, radioactive and artificially created. Provide the element names.
Name of Person Element Symbol and

Atomic Number
Albert Einstein, relatively famous physicist
Pierre and Marie Curie, famous marriage
Alfred Nobel, dynamite prize giver
Enrico Fermi, famous Italian nuclear physicist
Dmitri Mendeleev, periodic table designer
4b. Elementary Travel: These elements were named after places. Identify the element.
Name of Place Element Symbol and

Atomic Number
University of California at Berkeley
The State of California
Germany
France
The Island of Cyprus
Russia (in Latin)

Scene 8
5. Properties, Natural and Supernatural:
Name Origin Element Symbol and

Atomic Number
Two elements each named after Greek words
for bad smell
Named for evil spirits that were thought to
inhabit mines
Named for the Scandinavian god of war
Named after a planet, which itself was named

after the Greek god of the underworld. Used to
make Atomic Bombs.
The symbol comes from the Greek words
meaning liquid silver (quicksilver) and the
name comes from the messenger to the
Roman gods.
Named after the latin word magnet, and the
magnetic properties found in rocks.
(Not mentioned in the program: It is also
widely accepted that its name is derived from
a place named, Magnisia, a region of Greece
where magnetic rocks are abundant. And yes,
Magnisia, Greece is spelled with an i.)
