This worksheet introduces the concept of ions and the naming
structure of cations and anions. It also provides reference
tables for the charge on common monoatomic and polyatomic
ions. The worksheet also introduces the concept of single
displacement reactions and provides an opportunity for
students to predict the products for a number of simple
reactions.
Numerous ores are explored and students are asked to use
their knowledge to identify the metals from common ores and
name the compounds using correct convention.
