Internet Notes

Rational: The following are notes that can be obtained from the Internet so that you do not have to sit in class and copy.

A Virtual Text Book courtesy Florida State & Dr. Michael Blaber
This is a framed site and as such you can only enter the notes via the appropriate frame. A list of the required topics will be listed. Make note of them so that you know which ones to enter.
When you enter this site there are two frames, the left one gives the topics found; go to Lecture Notes and then look for the topics listed below.

  1. Basic Concepts: Intoduction & Matter
  2. Elements and Compounds
  3. The Atomic Theory of Matter

Molecules and Ions Using the Virtual Textbook resource again, from the section called Lecture Notes in the left frame, scroll down to the note called Molecules and Ions and away you go.

Answers to work sheet It is up to you to ask about examples that you don't understand.

Binary Nomenclature Practice courtesy Me

Polyatomic Radical Chart A list of the radicals with valencies that you should know and be able to work with for nomenclature.

Two sites which will give you a complete lesson on naming compounds as present in class. If you need a written note, here's a couple of them.

  1. Nomenclature at Widener U courtesy of Widener University in Philadelphia
  2. Nomenclature at Boise State How to name compounds courtesy of Boise State, Idaho
    When you go to this site you should see a menu, go to the site Naming Inorganic Compounds (there are two of them, either one is fine).

40 Equations to Balance courtesy of the Chemistry Coach.
Approach this site as a homework exercise. Try balancing the equations on paper, then check your answers. Any problems, just bring them to class.
