Chemistry Chapter 9 Chemical Names and Formulas

Chemistry Chapter 9 Chemical Names and FormulasThroughout the book, you will learn how to read chemical names and formulas using a sentence alphabet program, how to do chemical charts and graphs, how to create one from an existing file, and what is a term related to a chemical name. Chemicals may be named by the letters that are used in the names of the components of the chemical; by the spelling of the chemical; or by some other type of combination of letters and spellings.In this book, you will learn the basics about reading a chemical name, how to look up chemical names, how to take note of chemical names in notes, and where to look for chemical compounds. You will also learn how to make your own charts of chemical components to better understand how chemicals function.The following is a description of the kinds of things you will learn in Chemistry chapters 9 through 10. This information will give you the basic knowledge needed to read a chemical name, how to look up chemical nam es in a database, and where to find a chemical compound.Chemical names can be in one of three forms: U, I, or O. An 'I' is pronounced as the letter I and indicates that the part of the molecule is electrically charged and the ionic parts are positively charged. The U is pronounced as the letter U and indicates that the part of the molecule is negatively charged and that there is no ionic part.To do a chemical chart, start by installing an alphabet program onto your computer. This program works by converting all the alphabets into letters and numbers, which make it easier to see what each letter means. Click on the letters of the alphabet to click on the corresponding word on the alphabet chart, which opens the word in a new window.Some of the chemical names that you will learn include: carbamide, ethylene, cyclohexane, thiazole, and perchloric acid. When you start a chemical formula by writing the name of the component, write it as 'U' for electrically charged or 'I' for negatively charged. For example, if you want to take note of what the chemical is made of, add the component of the formula to the second letter of the name to create a compound.Many people are familiar with the term 'antimony', which is the chemical symbol for antimony sulfide, which is an elemental metal. Other chemicals have a common name and are known as elements, which you will learn in Chemistry chapter 10.
