In this simulation, you will learn the importance of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in producing standard names for chemical compounds.

Here is a list of all the relevant theory pages to guide you through the simulation:

• Theory

  • Definition of key terms
  • The periodic table
  • Lewis structures
  • VSEPR theory
  • Oxyanions and oxyacids

• IUPAC rules

  • Anions
  • Cations
  • Ionic compounds
  • Covalent compounds
  • Binary acids
  • Oxyanions and oxyacids
  • Weak conjugate bases
