About this resource
This quiz focuses on chemical nomenclature, the systematic naming of chemical compounds, which is a fundamental topic in high school chemistry appropriate for grades 10-12. The questions comprehensively assess students' ability to name ionic compounds (such as MgF₂ and NaBr), molecular/covalent compounds (like CCl₄ and SO₂), and polyatomic ions (NO₃⁻), while also testing their understanding of chemical bonding principles. Students need to master the rules for naming binary ionic compounds formed between metals and nonmetals, understand when to use Roman numerals for transition metals with variable charges, apply Greek prefixes for molecular compounds, and recognize common polyatomic ions. The quiz also requires students to work bidirectionally—converting from chemical formulas to names and from names to formulas—demonstrating a complete understanding of nomenclature conventions. Created by Jacqueline Hupp, a Chemistry teacher in the US who teaches grades 10 and 12. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, allowing students to practice and reinforce their understanding of chemical naming rules before moving on to more complex chemical reactions and stoichiometry. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to review previously learned concepts, as homework to extend classroom learning, or as a review tool before unit tests on chemical bonding and nomenclature. The variety of question types—from identifying ion charges to distinguishing between ionic and covalent bonding—makes it ideal for differentiated instruction and helps students build confidence with fundamental chemistry vocabulary. This assessment aligns with NGSS HS-PS1-1 and supports Common Core mathematical practices as students apply systematic rules and patterns to solve chemical naming problems.
