Things I Learned in Nomenclature

There are different ways of naming compounds. It also depends on if the compound is ionic or covalent. There are two ways for naming ionic compounds. Type 1 compounds have cations with a constant charge. Type 2 compounds have cations with a variable charge. Type 3 are covalent compounds. This type of naming is used if the the cation is nonmetal. Then there is polyatomic ions. This is a summary of what I learned in nomenclature.
