IONIC BONDING
- metal + non metal
- criss cross ONs
- use the list of cations/anions to name
COVALENT BONDING
- non metal + non metal
- use the Greek prefixes (mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa,
nona, deca)
ACIDS (Hydrogen + any element) and says (aq) if not, read as
normal
- ate -> ic
- ite -> ous
- ide -> hydro + ic
BASES (Any element + OH)
- read normally first part, then last part = hydroxide

* If H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, and I are alone, then they become H2, N2, O2, F2,
Cl2, Br2, and I2.
