Reflection on Nomenclature 2

Nomenclature was an overall easy unit. Many of the rules about the different type of binary compounds along with polyatomic ions and acids all came relatively easy to me. For studying all i did was go to the online resources that were on schoology and went through the in class notes. Because of this, the lessons and tests were simple, but the Frontier Chemistry project was difficult. It was hard finding all the information and anticipating the questions that would come up on the essay. This is only the first project of the year and it made me a little wary of all the other projects.

Type 1 Binary Compounds 

Definition 

Type 1 Binary Compounds are compounds that are made up of 1 metal and 1 nonmetal. It was the easiest to name out of all the other types of compounds. It is basic with the metal going first and the non metal going after it. There would be an -ide added as a suffix to the anion which is a nonmetal. The metal ion is called a cation.
