This past week or so we have been learning about chemical
formulas and how to balance them. When balancing chemical formulas you have to
add numbers onto each side to make them even. You really just have to play with
the numbers to see what will fit. Also
we learned how to name formulas. When
you name formulas that are ionic and covalent you add the suffix ide to the end
of the second word. You also add a prefix for the number if needed on both
words. Sometimes you only need it on one of the words.
Some things that
I find interesting about this topic are that they can be made into many
different types of formulas. They also can have many different oxidation
numbers. The last thing that I think is interesting is that you can figure many
things with these formulas. My question
for you guys is how does chemical formulas apply to your
daily life?
