26/02/09 - chemistry

Today, i've learnt about the many prefixes which is being used in the wide world of chemistry. I also learnt about the many names for cations and anions. Althought these are being taught in secondary school. It is to me a refresher course in my new life in Millennia institute, where i'll pursue my dreams and work hard to fufil my new year's resolution.

But, in a nutshell, things learnt today is:

  1. Ions- anions and cations+ valencies
  2. Prefixes
  3. Converting formulae to names
  4. Binary covalent compounds

all in all, lesson today was alright and fruitful, but would be better if we had more hands on activities.

cheers,
