Naming Review and Study Tips

October 30, 2009

Test Tuesday!

Be sure and check out the Helpful Tools and Links page (bottom of right column) – there is a link to an overview of naming rules and organic naming rules there which you may find helpful.

Some general tips:

  1. Make sure you know the rules for each kind of naming (ionic, covalent, acids, organic).
  2. Be able to identify the kind of compound, so you know which set of rules to apply.
  3. Just like learning a new language, practice! practice! practice! is the best way to get good at it. Try extra problems at the end of Chapter 3 (odd answers in back of book), or try a friend’s WebAssign if they have different problems than you do.
  4. The Mr. Guch’s website (on my links page under General) has many practice worksheets with answer keys to use!
