Naming Compounds= “Counting Stars” By: Kristina W. and Molly G.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about getting all “A”s and “B”s But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard So I’m not gonna fail this test Cause we'll be studying hard Yeah, we'll be naming compounds

I see this compound (FeSO4) Is it ionic or is it covalent in my face is flashing signs it has nonmetal and a metal

must be ionic Gotta use roman numerals And add –ide at the end I'm just doing what we're told

I know SO4 has a charge of 2 And I know then that Iron also has a charge of 2 I know, SO4, has to stay sulfate FeSO4 is iron (II) Sulfate

If the ionic compound was polyatomic We would leave it alone And if it was normal We would add –ide to the nonmetal

Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about getting all “A”’s and “B”’s But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard So I’m not gonna fail this test Cause we'll be, we’ll be studying hard

but if it was a hydrate we would take the compound then add a prefix in front of hydrate for example this  LiClO 4 ·3H 2 O

is: lithium perchlorate trihydrate And if the compound was covalent we would need to know if it had an “H” in front

And If it was normal we would just use prefixes And add –ide at the end I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn’t lie maybe naming compounds isn’t that bad

Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about getting all “A”s and “B”s But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard So I’m not gonna fail this test Cause we'll be studying hard

If there was an H in front (hey!) It could be binary with hydro- in front and -ic acid at the end But if it was an oxyacid (hey!) You need to change the end from -ite to -ous or -ate to -ic

Oh, oh, oh. [Bridge 4x:] Take that study guide Watch it burn Sing in the river The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

To find the Ionic formula(hey!) Identify the charges and criss cross but to find the formula for covalent compounds (hey!) if there is a prefix no criss cross but if there is an acid criss cross Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about getting “A”s and “B”s But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said we’re not gonna fail this test We'll be, we'll be studying hard
