-
- Write the names of the following compounds
- calcium fluoride
- boron chloride or boron trichloride; the “tri” is sometimes considered redundant
- lithium hydride
- barium oxide
- aluminum chloride or aluminum trichloride the “tri” is sometimes not written as it’s redundant
- Write the formula of the following named compounds
- LiBr
- CCl4
- Na2S
- MgBr2
- Al2S3
- Write the name of the following compounds using both the ic/ous and the IUPAC methods
- Cupric fluoride, copper(II) fluoride
- no ic/ous name because zinc has more than two oxidation states, zinc(II)O
- ferric oxide, iron(II)oxide(aka rust 😉 )
- plumbous sulfide, lead(II)sulfide
- plumbous selenide, lead(II)selenide
- stannous fluoride, tin(II)fluoride
- Write the chemical formula for the following compounds
- SnCl2
- Pb3N4
- FeO
- CuF2
- SnCl4
- Cu2O
- Write the names of the following compounds:
- sulfuric acid
- chloric acid
- lithium nitrate
- barium sulfate
- sodium phosphate
- ammonium manganate
- sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate
- ammonium cyanide
- Name the following:
- methylpropane
- 1-methylbutamine, this is a primary amine with the methyl on the first carbon after the N
- 2-pentanone or pentan-2-one. Depending on the usage; the former name may be easier to say but in more complicated molecules it might be best to place the -2- directly in front of the “one” suffix.
- butanal
- N-methylbutamide, the methyl group is on the N, rather than on the carbon chain of the amide.
- methylpropylamine
- Write the names of the following compounds
