Physical Science 20 - Feb 5

Today students learned how to name some specific compounds.  They learned what a hydrated compound is and how we go about naming them.  They also learned the rules we use to name acids.  Acids are specific types of ionic compounds that have hydrogen as their cation.  Most other ionic compounds involve metals as the cation.  The notes we took today were on slides 61-67.  Students spent a majority of the class working on Assignments C5 and C6.  We will take these up on Monday.  Monday we are going to learn how to name organic compounds, a whole new set of rules for us to know.  Have a great weekend everyone.
