Dec 15-16, What's in a name

today we went over some basic rules for naming covalent molecules and ionic compounds. We discussed the latin prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, septa, octa, nona and deca.

We also spent more time balancing equations using this website http://funbasedlearning.com/chemistry/chembalancer/default.htm

If you missed this class--try the ones on the website--if you do well, try the hard ones at

Bring in old candles and pine cones--we'll have something fun to do with them next week!
