Latin names

Postby 005388369 » Tue Dec 03, 2019 2:51 pm

Do we have to memorize the Latin names of certain elements when naming coordination compounds? Like how iron would be "ferrate"?

I am also wondering about this because on the homework, some problems require us to know the names; however, I don't recall Dr. Lavelle mentioning anything about having to memorize the Latin names.

There is a link on Professor Lavelle's website that says "naming coordination compounds." I recommend looking at that page and just getting familiar with a few concepts.
