Apologia Chemistry: Module 3 Covalent Molecular Nomenclature

Today, the kids learned how to name covalent molecules.  I remembered to take pictures of the notes I gave them at the beginning of class during the mini-lecture.  The kids did this Covalent naming worksheet, this covalent worksheet, and this worksheet we used as a test.  I believe they all have answer keys. (On this one, #15 CH4 is listed as carbon tetrahydride.  It should be methane.)  Below are the notes from the lecture.  Next week is lab.  We're off next Friday.  Thursday is Halloween and Friday is a Holy day of obligation.  Several of the kids serve at Mass; the rest of us want to go to Mass in the morning.

 What is the difference between ionic compound and covalent molecules (nomenclature)?

                              These are the Greek prefixes for naming covalent molecules.

Try naming these: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide.

Another example and four molecules with trivial or common names the kids need to learn.
