How to Memorize Your Ions FIT - Tues/Wed 2 -21 and 2 -22
SO MANY IONS! : ( How can you memorize all of these… especially those polyatomics? To memorize your -ates: - “Nick the Camel” - Use the periodic table trick To memorize the -ites and per/hypo ates… know how the system works!
There are some you have to memorize no matter what. . . Ammonium Cyanide Permanganate Thiosulfate Oxalate Peroxide … but you can reduce the number of ions you need to memorize with the following tricks.
“Nick the Camel” to learn the -ates Nick the Baby Camel ate an Inch Clam and Crepes for Supper in Phoenix # consonants: # O’s # vowels: negative charge Learn more: https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=BJ 3 SWFr 5 Jb 0
Use the periodic table trick to learn the -ates Learn more: https: //www. youtube. com/ watch? v=2 kv. JHVt. RW 1 k
Know how the system works! Ites: One less O than -ate Same charge Hypo/ites: One less O than -ite Same charge
Know how the system works! Per/ates: or hydrogen -ites: One more O than -ate Same charge Hydrogen -ates Add one H to the correct formula Charge increases by 1
