Chemistry 10-22-12 Binary Molecular Formulas

CHEMISTRY: Do you feel like you have letter and numbers swimming in your eyes? This is one of those times that paying attention to details is super, super important! Here’s the lecture from today on writing formulas and names for binary molecular compounds. Part of it’s really similar to what you learned to do last week for ionic compounds, but another part is totally different. Details!!

Make sure you keep everything straight. Do something that will organize all the information for you, so you won’t get confused. Also, don’t forget the lists you have to memorize, especially the one for Friday – polyatomic ions!! And practice, practice, practice!!!

Hon Chemistry 10-22-12 Percent Composition

HON CHEMISTRY: Great job today… although, it was really weird watching you chew gum in class! I think you’ll find that percent composition problems are super easy to catch on to. Make sure, though, you can write chemical formulas (I won’t give them to you!) and that you’ve memorized the formulas for acids and those common substances from #58. Then, it’s just plug and play from there! 🙂
