Document Summary
Determine if compound is covalent (or ionic) With proper prefix to describe amount present. Metal (cation) name + non-metal (anion) (stem of name with addition of ide to end) Di, tri, tetra, etc is not required in naming an ionic compound. We have considered only monatomic ions, ions made up of one atom like na+ or fe2+ Polyatomic ions are ions that are made up of more than one atom. Naoh (sodium hydroxide) consists of na+ and oh- The formula starts with a metal or with nh. 4. Name the element in the order they appear in the formula. Use di, tri, etc to tell how many atoms are present. Energy is the ability to do work. Different forms of energy can be interconverted. Which leads to another conservation in the law of chemistry. Energy an object has due to its position. Ie. a ball balancing on the edge of a table has the potential to fall.
