I started Honors Chem this year and I need to know how to say these, I have no friggin clue... Oh yeah, before you bash about how I got into this tough class and can't even say them, we aren't going to be using this for some time since he wants to make sure we got converting down among other things and I just want to get them memorized since there are like 67 on this page, just the monoatomic ones or something, polyatomic are a whole nother story...

Anyway, here is the 1337 h4x0r drawing skills with a mouse in photoshop I don't know how to say: Photochop

Sparknotes: Just tell me how to say the above link in english...
 
is that thing supposed to be a C6-O3-OH or something like that when in compound form...?

<-- been 3 years since touching chemistry

Hehe, I just wanna know how to say them? I mean like, 4 Hydrogen 3 Oxygen, Hydrogen 4 Oxygen 3... somethings like that

How are the -1's or +1's pronounced to whomever answers my questions.

okay, IIRC, you don't say the +1's or -1's, that's just written to indicate the charge of that particular atom or compound. When you say it, the name will imply what the charge is on that compound.

True, but what if teachers asks for the symbol of say, chromium? I know I don't respond saying "Chromium." How do I say the symbols? Do I just say minus one or plus one at the end...?

Spell it out, I guess, and add a "plus one" at then end to indicate charge. That sounds resonable.

Study the periodic table. You should at least know the abbreviations for most of the elements.

Yeah, I'm going to do that first and then memorize all these ions. Thanks for the tip. 🙂
 
Honors eh...all this stuff was covered in my regular stream Grade 10 Science. Can't remember any of it, though.
 
The Cu is known as known as cupric or cuprous, one of these, google them and find out.

I never knew that hydrogen can take a negative value, as far I know, Hydrogen has just one electron and so it would rather give it up rather than take up an electron. My guess is hydride but again not too sure.

I think the carbon form is carboxylate, google that and find out as well.
