HON CHEMISTRY: So how are the chemical formulas coming? I think you’re starting to get the hang of writing the formulas, but what about naming compounds? Help session? Don’t forget to add a few more things to your “make sure you memorize for the test” list: polyatomic ions, chemical names and formulas for common substances, binary acids, oxyacids, prefixes, and oxidation rules. Oxidation rules! We’ve really already been using oxidation numbers, you just didn’t know it! 🙂
But does it all matter? These complicated rules about naming compounds, I mean. Let’s find out tomorrow in lab!

Yay for having exceptions to the rules!

I think I’ve got naming compounds down! It’s just the formulas that get to me.
Have you posted the worksheet yet? and if so… Where is it?
When do we get our list of common substances back?
