IUPAC Naming: Ionic and Molecular Compounds

Outcome checklist

Alberta Program of Studies — tick each row when you can explain it without the slide.

• A-GO2-SO2

  By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Explain the importance of and need for the IUPAC system of naming compounds, in terms of the work that scientists do and the need to communicate clearly and precisely

  Self-check: Without looking at your notes, give one example or explanation that shows you meet A-GO2-SO2.

• A-GO2-SO4

  By the end of this lesson you should be able to: Predict formulas and write names for ionic and molecular compounds and common acids (e.g., sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, ethanoic), using a periodic table, a table of ions and IUPAC rules

  Self-check: Without looking at your notes, give one example or explanation that shows you meet A-GO2-SO4.

• A-GO2

  Big idea: Explain, using the periodic table, how elements combine to form compounds, and follow IUPAC guidelines for naming ionic compounds and simple molecular compounds

  Self-check: How does today's lesson connect to A-GO2?

Where this shows up later

• Unit A — Equations: Names translate into formulas for balanced equations.
