Naming of Chemical Compounds: Mr. Aga M. Gabato III, LPT, M.SC - Molecular Biology Addu-Shs

The document outlines the rules for naming covalent and ionic chemical compounds, including that covalent compounds follow rules such as listing the lower group element first and ionic compounds follow rules such as including the cation name and anion name with Roman numerals to denote charge for polyatomic ions. Examples are provided of applying the naming rules to sample covalent and ionic compounds as well as a quiz with additional examples.
