Nomemclature - SCH 3U:

• review and try the practice test (answers)
• congratulate yourself for getting through this work!!

• carefully read section 8 in the nomenclature note
  • THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT SECTION.  THE PREFIX METHOD IS USED INCONSISTENTLY AND OFTEN INCORRECTLY.  IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS, COMPARISON WITH OTHER FORMULA THAT CONTAIN DIFFERENT CATION OXIDATION STATES IS ESSENTIAL.  THE USE OF PREFIX MUST BE ABLE TO DISTINQUISH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORMULA, USUALLY ADDED TO THE ANION, BUT OCCASSIONALLY ADDED TO THE CATION, RARELY ADDED TO BOTH!
  • attempt the first section in worksheet #6 & #7(answers) and check your answers
• complete reading section 9 and 10 in the nomenclature note
  • deals with additional anions that you should know (and the ammonium cation)
  • see other polyatomic ions link for a more complete list
  • attempt the final section in worksheet #6 & #7(answers) and check your answers

• carefully read section 7 from the nomenclature note
• please note that the aqueous state (aq) is required in order for a formula to be classified as an acid and to receive the treatment explained in section 7 (if not an acid name is based on the procedures outlined in section 1 to 6)
• work to memorize the procedure for acids - see https://www.mikeblaber.org/oldwine/chm1045/notes/Atoms/Naming/Atoms06.htm for alternate reading
• try worksheet #5 (answers) and check your answers

Tuesday March 31st - Day 36

• review what you have learned so far including your memory work of the BIG SEVEN summary and the OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary
• review the nomenclature note up to the end of section 6
• complete OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary and check your answers

• review what you have learned so far including your memory work of the OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary
• review the nomenclature note up to the end of section 4
• quiz #1 (answers)
  • covers material up to the end of section 4 in the nomenclature note
  • covers key concepts and definitions, please study this before you start the quiz
  • check your answers!
• review section 5 in the nomenclature note and restudy the OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary
• complete quiz #2 (answers) and check your answers

• review your memory work from the last two days
• try to complete worksheet #4 (answers) without any aids other than a periodic table if possible
• use the OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary and the BIG SEVEN summary if you need to to complete worksheet #4 (answers)
• check your answers
• at this point you have covered the core aspects of inorganic nomenclature

• review what you have learned yesterday
• carefully read through section #6 from the nomenclature note
• try to memorize the BIG SEVEN summary using the blank copy or just a blank piece of paper (should involve writing and checking)
• short focused sessions should be more productive than draw out work periods

Wednesday March 25th - Day 32

• review what you have learned yesterday
• try to memorize the OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary  using the blank copy or a folded blank piece of paper (should involve writing and checking)
• short focused sessions should be more productive than draw out work periods

Tuesday March 24th - Day 31

• review what you have learned yesterday
• carefully read section 5 of the nomenclature note
• KEY IDEA: Polyvalent elements have more than one oxidation state and that oxidation state must be stated in the name in order to avoid confusion with more than one possible formula.  There are two ways of doing this, the more reliable I.U.P.A.C. method (can be used for all polyvalent cations) and the older less reliable OUS/IC method (can be used for only selected cations - limited use)
• please notice that some memorization work will be involved here - see OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary (blank copy)
• please note that only a few elements have an OUS/IC name and that for compounds containing these elements, two names should be written, one using the older OUS/IC method and a second name using the more reliable I.U.P.A.C. method
• complete worksheet #2 and check the answers - please use the OUS/IC vs I.U.P.A.C. summary to get through this sheet

• carefully read sections 1,2 and 3 from the nomenclature note
• complete questions #1 to 20 from worksheet #1 and check the answers
• carefully read section 4 from the nomenclature note
• complete questions #21 to 40 from worksheet #1 and check the answers (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!)
