Chemical Formulas by Mikayla

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?
