This document provides instruction on naming ionic compounds and balancing chemical equations. It begins by identifying common cations and anions, and the steps to name ionic compounds correctly. Examples of naming compounds and identifying their types are provided. The second part describes the steps to predict and balance chemical equations, including identifying the reaction type and rearranging and balancing the ions. Practice problems for students to determine the reaction type, write the balanced equation, and name ionic compounds are included with answer keys.
