Hon Chemistry 10-20-14 Binary Molecular Formulas

HON CHEMISTRY: Okay, I’m not saying that learning to name and write chemical formulas is as bad as a jellyfish sting (you’ll get that in a minute!), but you do have to really, really pay attention to the details!! Here’s our discussion 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, don’t you think? The other part is totally different, though!

Make sure you keep everything straight. Find a way to organize all the information for yourself so you won’t get confused. Also, don’t forget the lists you have to memorize – chemical names for common substances, polyatomic ions, acids, and numerical prefixes. And practice, practice, practice!!!

  1. On the worksheet for tonight, do you want names on the left and formulas on the right? It does not say on the worksheet?

  2. The flow chart that we need to print out, where is it? I may just be blind but I did not see it under the worksheets tab.

  3. I’ve had fun so far learning about oxidation numbers. I’m glad to know that it is basically the same thing as a charge. Also, is the lab moved to next week?
