Chemical Nomenclature of Berzelius. 263 
and not bases and their compounds with the metalloids rarely com- 
bine with these neutral salts. I shall call this group halogen(49) 
bodies (or generators of salts.) The nomenclature of their combina- 
tions is analogous to that of the compounds of sulphur. The com- 
pound body denominated cyanogen, belongs to this class. 
Below are some examples of the nomenclature of the compounds 
of the halogen bodies with the metalloids, and with the electro-neg- 
ative metals. 
Sulphurous chloruret 
Sulphuric chloruret.(50) Chloride of sulphur. 
Phosphoric chloruret. 
hosphorous chloride.(51) Protochloride of phosphorus. 
Phosphoric chloride. Perchloride of phosphorus. 
Carbonic chloruret. Protochloride of carbon. 
Carbonous chloride. Perchloride of carbon. 
Carbonic oxychloride. hlorocarbonie acid gas. 
ee oxychloride.(54) — ics 
Boric chlor ee Chloride of boron. 
Silicie aie Chloride of silicium.

(50) The composition of the sulphuric = ea Serie to that of hypo- 
sulphuric acid; (the. composition received before the last examination of the acid 
Dr. Thomson ;) hence, as Berzelius remarks, the proper name for it would be hy- 
posulphurous chloride. He gives ee to the more brief, but, according to 
is system, inaccurate name of sulph’ ret. 
The sulphurous chloruret is ata by causing the sulphuric elaaduret 4 to take 
up an additional equivalent of sulphur. — Trans. 
(61 ) er preg bite: water is deecunifies d by it, hydrochloric and 
ph d; this compound, therefore, is proportional to pho 
ous acid. The phosphoric culacians is = proportional 0 phosphoric acid.— Trans.

ter gmemebirer sie When this compound acts upon water, Berzelius states 
that it forms hydrochloric acid and an unknown oxide of iodine; hence, it is not 
Proportional to Ties iodous or iodie acids, and its name, chloruret of iodine, is prop-

carbon ; badass a by sess —- of moist — gas — sulphuret of c prakers

Proportionals of rote ‘two of oxygen, one of sulphur and one of carbon.— Zrans.
