Chemistry - Guided Memorization Nomenclature

Ditch the Flash Cards and Master Nomenclature 5 Minutes at a Time
Created byMichelle Dicus
Last updated 3/2018
English

What you'll learn

  • Students will learn to memorize 40 common elements, dozens of polyatomic ions, and their charges and be able to translate chemical formula into substance names and names into formula
  • This course creates a foundation of language to build upon making the massive amount of memorization fun, effective, and really makes it stick!
  • Students will find learning the "methods" for solving problems related to chemical reactions, oxidation and reduction processes, acid/base chemistry, and stoichiometry are easier, more meaningful, and achieved much faster when they have a solid understanding of chemical nomenclature first

Course content

5 sections • 30 lectures • 3h 4m total length

  • Onset Focus Training5:40

    Train your brain to notice features of a chemical formula by dividing it into left and right sides, capturing a capital, capital–lowercase, or capital with H on the left side.

  • Lesson 2 - The Core Family4:54

    Memorize the 10 essential elemental names and abbreviations by using a 10-block core family matrix, with rounds that present names then symbols, and later symbols then names for quick recall.

  • Lesson 3 - Alone or Alone on the Right Side5:13

    Practice naming the ten core family elements in formulas, considering left or right side positions or when alone, and apply the right-side -ide names such as nitride, sulfide, and fluoride.

  • Lesson 4 - The Core Family Groups5:36

    Learn to memorize core family oxyanion names by pairing symbols with three or four oxygen, recognizing -ate endings, with examples like carbonate, nitrate, chlorate, bromate, iodate, phosphate, sulfate, and selenate.

  • Lesson 5 - Alone, ides, or ates5:09

    Develop automatic right-side naming in chemical formulas by practicing core family names, with active rounds naming right-side species such as phosphorus, oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen, and sulfur.

  • Lesson 6 - Left Side Starter Family5:17

    Explore the starter family of left side elements and how to name compounds by pairing right side names with left side symbols, using silver chloride and ammonium nitrate as examples.

  • Lesson 7 - Resembling Core Family Groups6:13

    Learn to name right-side hydrogen-containing groups resembling carbonate, sulfate, and phosphate, and practice naming left-side elements from memory through active training rounds and formula splits.

  • Lesson 8 - ites are like ates

    Identify oxyanion groups that resemble core family groups, and apply the one less oxygen rule for -ite forms compared with -ate forms, such as sulphite and sulphate.

  • Lesson 9 - Per-ates and hypo-ites6:14

    Learn to name oxyanion families by adding or removing oxygens with the prefixes per and hypo, using chlorate, bromate, and iodate as models with examples like perchlorate and hypochlorite.

  • Lesson 10 - Left Side Extended Family4:43

    lesson 10 introduces seven new left-side elements from the far side of the periodic table and guides you in naming the entire formula with this extended left-side set.

  • Lesson 11 - Four New Right Side Groups6:33

    Explore four new right side groups—cyanide, hydroxide, oxalate, and acetate—built from carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. Master their -ide endings with examples like sodium cyanide and potassium acetate.

  • Lesson 12 - REVIEW3:46

    Review how to translate a chemical formula into a name by separating left and right side elements, with left-side names and right-side endings with -ide; memorize ammonium, carbonate, sulfate, iodate.

  • Lesson 13 - Mastery Quiz #18:33

    download the mastery quiz and answer key for lesson 13 on elements, or watch an online, animated version of the quiz and key.

Requirements

  • Use of a computer, phone, or tablet that supports Udemy. This program is more than an instructional video series. It is a TRAINING workout to build your comprehension and automatic recall.

Description

Learning how to learn Chemistry is the single most important skill you'll need to master the material in a rigorous high school or college Chemistry course. CoreMethod Chemistry trains your brain to do just that through a chemical naming training series!  CoreMethod Chemistry has a vision for foundational skill training in 3 core areas; The Language, The Math, and the Chemical Concepts. Investing in learning the language of chemistry first, the way you would any new language...a deep integration and automatic recall... will provide the context for everything else you learn in a Chemistry course. It is sure to make your experience in Chemistry enjoyable and successful. This course will train you beyond rot memorization in a fun and effective way and build your confidence for earning an A in your Chemistry class.  It will demystify the language of chemistry, bring your awareness to the patterns that exist in the system of Chemistry, and ultimately help you appreciate the simplicity found in the methods and approaches used in Chemistry.

Who this course is for:

  • Current high school and college Chemistry students and those preparing to take Chemistry
  • Students who want both instruction and an organized guided practice.
  • Students stuggling with chemical reactions, oxidation and reduction processes, acid/base chemistry, and cumulative stoichiometry problems. Often the hidden difficulty mastering these topics comes down to not having a strong foundation in substance naming, formula recognition, and rapid recognition of elemental and charge symbols!
