Lesson 10: What's In A Name?

The purpose of this lesson is to review all the things that can be figured out from the name of the chemical, at least all of the things that you have worked with so far in this course. This review will cover many (but not all) of the things that you have studied in this course.

As usual, the objectives and assignments for this lesson are given in the objectives section. The first section of this lesson provides an overview of the several types of names for chemical compounds and how to determine the formula of a compound using the information contained in the name. Once the formula of a compound has been determined, many other things can figured from that. The remaining sections of the lesson review how to determine those things.

No new material will be presented in this lesson; it is purely intended for your review.
