Fact of the Day-Chemistry

My dad's always getting on me about not remembering what I learn (if I learn anything that day) so I figured I'd do something about it. From here on in, I will write at least one fact I learn everyday.

Today's Fact of the Day pertains to Chemistry, just as the title suggests.

I learned:

  • how suffixes of Ionic Compounds are determined
  • -ate, -ite, -ide
  • Ex: Sodium Chloride is what's called a binary ionic compound because it's made of two different elements: (NaCl) Sodium and Chlorine. All binary ionic compounds end in -ide, no matter the number of atoms of one of the two elements.

That's it for today. Come back for more tomorrow!
