10/31/2014

This is a brief post about Binary Molecular Formula Naming / Writing to accompany my previous posts on 10/17/2014 and 10/27/2014 about Ionic Formula Naming / Writing.

I have discussed Introductory Organic Formula Naming / Writing on 5/21/2014 with posts related to Organic Chemistry.

When teaching this topic, it is typical to address it briefly along with the Ionic Formula work.

FYI, using Percent Composition Data to Determining a Formula was addressed on 2/26/2014.

Here is a longer video (18 minutes) about Molecular Formulas (it's very comprehensive):

This narrator does talk about binary acids around 8:20 min. -- it's the teacher's choice whether or not to address the topic right now.

Here are a few worksheets focusing on Binary Molecular Formula Naming / Writing

*Here is a two-page sheet that summarizes the topic of Ionic and Molecular Formula Naming and Writing:

I have added a Topic List to help you to find past Blog entries.  Check it out!

 Buy my lab book "Chemistry on a Budget" -- it is available for $20 at amazon.com or $23 at lulu.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Budget-Marjorie-R-Heesemann/dp/0578129159/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389410170&sr=1-1&keywords=chemistry+on+a+budget

This book contains 13 labs using consumable materials purchased from local stores.  There are two versions of each lab, one with a ten-question conclusion and one with directions for a full lab report.  This way the teacher has the option!  Each lab is two pages to allow for one two-sided handout.

Have a good weekend and Happy Halloween!
