Covalent Compounds and Acids

Today in class, we picked up two worksheets: Naming Practice and Naming Covalent Compounds. You can find these here.We went over any questions we had on the Naming Compounds sheet. For 6 i. Mr. Lieberman made a mistake! The actual answer is Co2(Co3)3. All the numbers should be little and on the bottom. After getting all of of questions answered, we buddied up to work on the naming compounds.
Here are the main points of covalent compounds.

• They only bond with eachother if they are nonmetals.
• The first word is the elements name
• If there are more than one atoms in any of the elements, you put a prefix in front of it.
• 1= mono (You don't use that) 2= di 3=tri 4= tetra 5=penta 6=hexa We only need to know up to 6
• The second word always ends in "ide"
• Examples: DiSulfur Dichloride= S₂Cl₂ Sulfur Dioxide= SO₂

After doing the worksheet we went to the notes. We started off learning about Binary Molecular Compounds (Covalent Compounds). The rules are above. We then looked at acids. If the compound starts with an H, then it's an acid. Click here for the notes.

After learning all of these things we had a little game to practice naming bonds.

Warning: There is a pop quiz tomorrow. It will be on measurements. Just kidding. It will be on naming bonds. That's it for today. If you have any questions, just email Mr. Lieberman or look back at your notes/book. The scribe for tomorrow is Justin J!
