Chemical nomenclature is the system of names that chemists use to identify compounds precisely. The systematic method of naming compounds is vital to the study of chemistry, because when a new substance is formulated, it must be named in order to distinguish it from all other substances. Using this systematic method of naming compounds, the

Because the individual atoms in a compound are combined in integer ratios, and each element has a specific atomic mass, it is possible to use mole calculations to determine chemical formulas. The two types of chemical formulas are molecular formulas and the empirical formulas. – Often, the empirical formula is the same as the molecular

The percentage composition of a compound is the percent by mass of each element in the compound. How do we calculate the percent composition? Here are the steps: Calculate the molar mass of the compound.       2.Divide the molar mass of each element by the molar mass of the compound and multiply by
