Nomenclature of Chemistry: 

Compound Type Molecular (Covalent bonds) Ionic Name → Formula Translate prefixes into numbers e.g. Sulfur dioxide = SO 2 1. use periodic table to find valences 2. get formula from cris-cross rule 3. learn polyatomic ions Formula → Name Translate numbers into Prefixes e.g. CBr 4 = carbon tetrabromide 1. learn polyatomic ions 2. binary salts end in “ide” 3. Don't use prefixes Nomenclature of Chemistry
