<p>i just cant seem to get all this naming stuff down. anyone have any tips or advice or an easier way?</p>

<p>mmm....you just have to learn it...naming is basic chemistry, so that's a shame if you can't learn naming...but it should just come to you after using it so much.</p>

3

<p>Yeah, after doing it for so long you just end up memorizing the stuff</p>

4

<p>What people said above is true. There are no other easier ways. Just get used to it.</p>

5

<p>just find the patterns and the exceptions and its basic memorization from there...</p>

6

<p>I would suggest memorizing the radicals first then the cations and the anions. Otherwise, I agree with everyone else. And oh yeah, I though nomenclature isn't covered in AP.</p>

Basic nomenclature is something you definitely need to know for AP chem... it would be a problem if someone didn't.</p>

<p>To goldshadow: I meant to say that in AP, you are assumed to know how to name compounds. I don't know about other schools, but our AP Chem course is extremely rigorous and requires that you know basic concepts. Otherwise there wouldn't be time to cover a year of organic chemistry in addition to the 25 AP chapters.</p>
