Chemistry really is another language sometimes. It abbreviates a lot, and chemical formulas are a way to write a little and still convey a lot of information. For example, consider the formulas Ni2O4 , NH4OH, I2, and CaCl2 (the numbers you see here are supposed to be subscripts).
Translate these formulas into actual word names using the appropriate procedure described in the course text and my lecture material. Answer the following:
(1) What are the formal names of each of these compounds?
(2) Explain how exactly (i.e. the procedure used) you arrived at your answer...in other words, walk me through your thinking. You will not receive credit if you don't show your work in detail.
