Non-metallic elements combine to produce covalent compounds, that is, molecules in which the atoms are held together by covalent bonds.
But do you know how to name these molecules using IUPAC recommendations?
Can you write the formula for these molecules using IUPAC recommendations?
AUS-e-TUTE has just added new resources on these topics.
AUS-e-TUTE members should log-in to access the tutorials, games, tests, exams, drills.
AUS-e-TUTE class and school group members also have access to the online quizzes.
Teachers registered with a class or school group can also access the worksheet wizards (instant worksheets, with answers, at the click of button!).
If you are not an AUS-e-TUTE member, there are two "free-to-view" tutorials currently available:

Explosive Medicine
You’ve probably heard of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of
dynamite and gelignite. The commercialisation of these explosives enabled him
to accumulate great wealth during his lifetime which, by the terms of his will
signed in 1895, was used to establish the Nobel Prize. In later life he was
prescribed Trinitrin, a medication used to relieve a heart condition known as
angina.
What do dynamite, gelignite and Trinitrin all have in
common?
They all contain nitroglycerin!
This is not a story about the life of Alfred Nobel.
It is a story about the fascinating chemistry of
nitroglycerin…
