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

View

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+NH₄⁺ and complex anions like permanganate MnO4−MnO₄⁻.

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

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 copperII bromide, where II indicates the +1 charge on copper.

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

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

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.

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

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+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.

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

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.

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 niobiumIIIIII oxide.

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

View

Page 7: Additional Practice #2

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

Example: FeMnO4MnO4₃ is named as IronIIIIII Permanganate.

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

Page 1: Covalent Compounds Practice

This page focuses on the nomenclature of covalent molecularmolecular 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−mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa- indicate the number of atoms present.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
