Answer 25

Nice Children Clean Clothes So Carefully 2 Prevent Manganese Crying 2 C2H302

Question 26

Naming ionic compounds

Answer 26

1. Cation goes first 2. Anion goes second e.g. sodium sulfate is (Na+) and sulfate (SO4-2) e.g. ammonium nitrate is (NH +4) and nitrate (NO3-)

Question 27

Naming elemental anions

Answer 27

1. remove the element ending 2. add "ide" e.g. fluorine F becomes F-1 fluor -ide

Question 28

Naming elemental cations

Answer 28

The cation name is the same as the element e.g. silver AG is still silver AG+

Question 29

Naming covalent molecules

Answer 29

1. Use elelment closest to the center of the periodic table 2. then end in ide 3. if the first element only has one atom - don't use mono e.g. CO2 - carbon dioxide (no mono here) e.g. N2O - dihydrogen monixide
