Below are the solutions to the packet on naming and writing compounds. Tomorrow you will be taking the diagnostic quiz on naming chemical compounds and writing chemical formulas. As you were told last week, you need to read Chapter 5. If you feel that you need more practice with naming and writing formula, you can choose problems that are given in the Chapter 4 and 5 Cumulative Review. I would suggest problems 26 through 31 on page 151. The answers to the problems can be found in the back of the book on page A38. All the information on how to write formulas and name compounds has been given to you. It is now your job to practice those skills until you are highly proficient. Come and see me if you need any help.

Below are the solutions to the Writing Ionic Compound Formulas worksheet. The second page with polyatomic ions, part of the last column was cut off. If you have any questions, I can show that in class. Also, there is a partial key to the packet given out on Friday. Remember, on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, there will be a diagnostic quiz that will go in your homework category on naming compounds and writing chemical formulas. On Friday, Nov. 6th, there will be a quiz that will go in your assessment category for naming compounds and writing chemical formulas. Before you try to write a formula or a name of a compound, you must first classify which type of compound you have.
