Naming Ionic Compounds

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.

On this single-page handout, careful chemists read about the system for naming covalent compounds. A chart of prefixes is provided, and exceptions to the rules are also given. At the bottom of the page are 11 molecules to practice...

This is not a worksheet per se, but rather a reference sheet for your chemistry class. It displays a list of cations and anions along with their chemical symbols and net charges. Following the table is a pretty thorough explanation of...

One document contains five different worksheets for practice naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds. The first is particularly notable, as it systematically walks beginning chemists through the process of using the periodic...

By contrasting cations and anions, this presentation shows how to predict ionic charges by periodic groups. The slides conclude with a few guided practice problems for writing ionic compound formulas. 

Display the method for naming ionic compounds and then provide plenty of practice with this presentation. Seventeen slides explain and then check for understanding. Young chemists will certainly benefit from this presentation.

Here is an all-encompassing lesson on naming chemical compounds and writing formulas. It begins by using a color-coded periodic table to teach about the element groups: metals, transition metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Anions and...

Continue leading your class through the ionic journey as they learn additional ways to name ionic compounds. Pupils focus on deriving compound names from their formulas, including fixed charge metal ions, variable charge metal ions,...
