In this oxidation numbers and ionic compounds worksheet, students write the formula for compounds given ions, they write the ions given formulas, they list oxidation numbers for elements, they write formulas for compounds and they name...

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

In this compounds activity, students name ionic and molecular compounds given their formulas. They also write the formulas for molecular and ionic compounds given their names.

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.

Practice naming ternary compounds with this PowerPoint presentation. Individual slides show the patterns for memorizing the nomenclature for polyatomic ions. Several examples are included for student practice. This thorough and...

I asked the cat sitting next to me if he had any Sodium Hypobromite; he said NaBrO. The third video in the six-part series introduces how to name polyatomic ions such as Sodium Hypobromite. It offers the general rules and a few example...

Lead the way in naming polyatomic ions and have fun at the same time. Pupils learn the rules for naming polyatomic ions, primarily oxyanions. They learn patterns to determine the charge of an ion and when to add a hydrogen molecule to an...

You'll get a charge out of this! Future scientists learn the rules of naming monoatomic ions and how to determine each ion's charge. They learn to classify between fixed charge metal, variable charge metal, and nonmetal ions.

Repetition of the naming rules and numbering of carbons after diagramming a molecule will help your aspiring chemists. The video includes and builds upon the previous examples of naming enantiomers and stereoisomers.

Learn how to name monatomic ions and ionic compounds containing monatomic ions, predict charges for monatomic ions, and understand formulas.
