Even More Naming Ionic Compounds

In this compounds worksheet, students identify the errors in the chemical formulas or chemical names. This worksheet has 25 problems to solve.

Newcomers to chemistry compare hydrogen peroxide to water, realizing that the difference of one oxygen atom significantly affects the chemical properties. Other pairs of compounds and their formulas are also examined. A few chemical...

Young chemists have unknown compounds they need to sort. Performing three different tests on each, the chemical behaviors they observe become the basis for data analysis. 

Rather than simply matching up the ionic charges on paper, this exercise gets chemists into the lab to determine the chemical formula for magnesium oxide! If a known amount of magnesium is used, an oxidation reaction results in this...

Nine action-packed organic chemistry exercises are contained in this mini-unit on carbon containing compounds. Examples include constructing models of alkanes, producing aromatic esters, and preparing pigments for paint and dyes....

Students study how to write chemical fomulas by reviewing the combinations atoms form into compounds. They write a procedure to test various substances and name the compounds and write formulas. As they construct models for formulas and...

This handout, produced in the UK, contains a chart of cations and anions. It explains how ionic compounds are formed and named. This concise and attractive handout can be helpful as a reference for your chemistry apprentices.

Wow! This is one of the most exhaustive presentations on finding chemical formulas that you will come across! Beginning with the basics, and leaving junior chemists with procedures and concrete examples, this PowerPoint certainly...

Practice naming chemical compounds or stating the formula when given the name. Discover how well you have mastered these skills either by time or percentage correct.

The first of two worksheets methodically prepares chemistry novices for naming polyatomic compounds. It begins by having them acknowledge the number of each atom contained in a molecule. Then learners list the valence electrons for a...
