Covalent (or Molecular) Compounds Practice
(i.e., nonmetal-nonmetal combinations)
Write the correct name for each of the following compounds

Page 2: Fixed-Charge Cations Practice

This section covers ionic compounds containing fixed-charge cations, presenting a comprehensive set of exercises for both naming compounds and writing formulas.

Definition: Fixed-charge cations are metal ions that form only one type of positive ion.

Example: NaBr is named sodium bromide because sodium only forms Na⁺ ions.

Highlight: The practice includes polyatomic ions such as ammonium (NH₄⁺) and complex anions like permanganate (MnO₄⁻).

View

Page 4: Ion Identification Practice

This section teaches how to identify and count ions present in chemical formulas, providing a systematic approach to understanding ionic compounds.

Definition: Ionic compounds consist of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions in ratios that create a neutral compound.

Example: In CoBr₂, there is one Co²⁺ cation and two Br⁻ anions.

Highlight: The practice emphasizes writing ion counts without using "1" and properly balancing charges.

View

Page 3: Variable-Charge Cations Practice

This page focuses on naming and writing formulas for compounds containing transition metals that can form multiple different ionic charges.

Definition: Variable-charge cations are metal ions that can form different positive charges, requiring Roman numerals to specify the charge.

Example: CuBr is named as copper(I) bromide, where (I) indicates the +1 charge on copper.

Highlight: The exercises emphasize the importance of correctly identifying and noting the charge of transition metal ions.

View

Page 5: Acid Nomenclature Practice

This page covers the systematic naming of acids and writing their chemical formulas.

Definition: Acids are compounds that produce hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water.

Example: HBr forms hydrobromic acid in water, while HBrO₃ forms bromic acid.

Vocabulary: The "-ic" suffix indicates the more common oxidation state, while "-ous" indicates the lower oxidation state.

View

Page 1: Covalent Compounds Practice

This page focuses on the nomenclature of covalent (molecular) compounds formed between nonmetals. The practice exercises are structured to reinforce understanding of systematic naming conventions.

Definition: Covalent compounds are molecules formed by sharing electrons between nonmetal atoms.

Example: P₂O5 is named as diphosphorus pentoxide, where 'di-' indicates two phosphorus atoms and 'pent-' indicates five oxygen atoms.

Highlight: The practice includes both naming compounds from formulas and writing formulas from names, providing comprehensive practice in both directions.

Vocabulary: Prefixes used in naming (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-) indicate the number of atoms present.

View

Page 7: Additional Practice #2

Continues with more advanced practice problems, incorporating all previously covered concepts.

Example: Fe(MnO4)₃ is named as Iron(III) Permanganate.

Highlight: Complex ionic compounds often contain polyatomic ions that must be correctly identified for proper naming.

View

Page 6: Additional Practice #1

This section provides comprehensive practice combining various types of compounds, including ionic compounds, covalent compounds, and acids.

Example: Nb₂O₃ is named as niobium(III) oxide.

Highlight: This section reinforces the importance of distinguishing between different types of compounds when naming them.

View

Page 6: Additional Practice

This final section provides mixed practice problems combining various types of chemical nomenclature.

Example: Ca₃N₂ is named calcium nitride, demonstrating ionic compound nomenclature.

Highlight: The problems integrate concepts from previous sections, reinforcing overall understanding of chemical nomenclature.
