Hi folks,
Today we spent a lot of time on learning how to name molecules. First, we had to learn what the difference is between ionic and covalent bonds and then we had to figure out the various steps to name them. We spent a lot of time working on each step and in the end, I believe, the class had a pretty good handle on it.
Homework this week:
Read Chapter 6 in the text book. Starts on page 173
Do the odd questions in the enclosed .pdf. Answers are included, so that you can check your work and make sure you're on the right track.
There are some polyatomic ions that I didn't have you memorize so I'm listing them here to help you out.
PO3 is Phosphite and is a -3 ion.
Phosphate is PO4 and is also -3
Acetate is C2H3O2 and is a -1 ion.
Cyanide is CN and is -1
I think that's it. Feel free to email if I missed some.
