Document Summary
There are four naming systems you should familiarize yourself with to succeed on the sat ii. The trick is recognizing which naming system to use. If the compound starts with h, it is an acid. If the compound starts with c and contains quite a few h"s and perhaps some o"s, it is organic. If the compound starts with a metal, it is most likely ionic. If the compound starts with a nonmetal other than h or c, use the naming binary molecular compounds rules. It is also essential that you memorize some common polyatomic ions. If you need more than one of them, enclose them in parentheses when you write formulas. You need to know their names, formulas, and charges. If you learn the nine that follow, you can get many others from applying two simple patterns. Pattern 1: the -ates ate one more oxygen than the -ites and their charge doesn"t change as a result!
