    Amazing to me that we have something so sophisticated and organized as the periodic table, but when it comes to nomenclature the best a teacher can give you is "memorize it"

    Make sure to study them both ways. You need to be able to recognize the symbols when given the name, but also the name when given the symbols. Also, you need to review periodically so that you don't forget these. Otherwise, this is a great technique.

    My chemistry teacher is by no means the best, and hearing this after my chem grade is a 24 has really helped. I am rather angry that my teacher did not teach us stuff like this, and thanks for the midnighttutor i can hopefully get my grade back on track.

    Your techniques of reading and writing it down are excellent! I have read some research that promotes approximately the same thing, except it includes reading each item out loud as you go through before you write it down. This can help commit and even higher percentage of the information to longer term memory because of hearing it out loud as well.

  • @j0mezzy

    I use certain little tricks to help me memorize (I hope someone else finds them useful!):
    1. -ite is smaller than -ate. There are less O atoms (oxygen ) in the molecule with -ite than with -ate.
    2. For the --chlor-- , Nitr--, and --sulf--molecules: You can memorize all of them easily because they have the same basic arrangement!
    EX:
    Hypo-CHLOR-ite = ClO-
    CHLOR-ite = ClO2- (just an increase
    CHLOR-ate = ClO3- in O atoms)
    Per-CHLOR-ate = ClO4-

    This worked so damn well for me. I expected it to take more than 30 minutes cause I'm slow as fuck. I did it in 18 minutes. Then I made flashcards and randomized them to see if I could still remember them all, I remember and I imagine that I will until the universe reaches a total state of entropy. Thank you.

  • @in2ennui
    @in2ennui 15 років тому

    I dislike straight out memorization...making connections is a stronger way to retain info, so (even if no one really needs it or cares) I will offer one more tip:
    If there is a Bi-- as a prefix, then the molecule likely has a H (hydrogen atom).
    Ex: Bi-carbonate (HCO3-), Bi-Sulfate (HSO4-)
    Also both of these have an -ate at the end so they end in the same O number (of atoms) as just CarbonATE (O3) or SulfATE (O4).
