Sulfates, sulfites, nitrates, nitrites—how does one keep all of these similar but different names straight?
For this discussion, we will be practicing naming ionic and covalent compounds as well as polyatomic ions. To begin, give the chemical formula for each of the following: A covalent compound containing no more than two types of elements, an ionic compound no more than two types of elements, and an ionic compound containing a polyatomic.
Be sure that these compounds are valid (for example, the charges balance out in the ionic compound) and that the subscripts do not exceed 10.
After you have done this, reply to 12 of your peer’s posts and name their compounds based on their chemical formulas. Using the rules we learned in class, walk us through each step.
Make sure to post at least three high quality posts. Your instructor will open new topics of discussion throughout the week.
