Students were engaged as to the naming of binary compounds, including using Roman Numerals to show the oxidation numbers of metals in groups 3-12 and under the stair-step of the Periodic Table.
Students were strongly encouraged to study naming rules (including using prefixes for covalent bonded nonmetals, changing ionically bonded nonmetals names to -ide, and using roman numerals for transition metals) and oxidation numbers.
As some educational specialists have labeled the disconcerting lack of comprehension as "permission to forget," I have revoked that permission.
