your videos are brilliant.

whats the different between ATE and ITE? how do i get them?

[mrcausey]

@tanho12 the only ending you have to worry about is the -ide. You add it to the anion or more electronegative element. The -ate and -ite endings are used in naming ternary acids and polyatomic ions. Just learn the polyatomic ions names and learn to name acids.

thanks! this was great review for my test tomorrow!

you needed 2 ammonium's to bbalance the carbonate, you don't need to put anything to signify there's two ammoniums? no subscript, suffix, prefix, roman numeral?

[mrcausey]

@saberallen5 Not when you are naming the compound. I think you are confusing naming with writing formulas. Ammonium carbonate is sufficient.

what is the difference between -ate and -ide? how do i know when to use each of them?

[mrcausey]

@ejr117 the only ending you have to worry about is the -ide. You add it to the anion or more electronegative element. The -ate ending is used in naming ternary acids and polyatomic ions. Just learn the polyatomic ions names and learn to name acids.
