♥
I had my chemistry lesson at O hub today and we went through tutorials using the website
Preparatory Chemistry. We did two subtopics from chapter 3 and one subtopic from chapter 4.
The three things I've learnt in this chapter:
- I learnt the steps to write the names for binary covalent compounds.
- I have learnt prefixes, Roots of the Nonmetals and the Exceptions .
For example,
`Prefixes:
1 - mon(o)
2 - di
3 - tri
`Roots of the Nonmetals:
S - sulf
Se - selen
F - fluor
Cl - chlor
`Exceptions:
HF can be named hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen monofluoride.
- I have also learnt how to convert names to formulas.
