Brief description

Chapter 5 introduces predicting and writing chemical formulas. You will also learn how to derive the name of a molecule from the formula and the type of species. The naming of ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and acids will be explained

Chapter topics

5.10 Nomenclature Summary  

5.11 Formula Mass: The Mass of a Molecule or Formula Unit  

Compounds Display Constant Composition  

The law of constant composition says that, in any particular chemical compound, all samples of that compound will be made up of the same elements in the same proportion or ratio. For example, any water molecule is always made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a 2:1 ratio.
