Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Write the correct chemical formula for 20 named binary acids, ternary acids and bases.
Name 20 acid and base formulas correctly, including the naming conventions for -ic/-ous and per-/hypo- prefixes.
Use Korean-language translations to confirm chemistry vocabulary while practicing English nomenclature.
Teaching tips
Assign the formula-writing half and the name-writing half as separate sittings, since together they cover 40 items across the same 20 compounds.
Point Korean-speaking ESL students to the translation printed directly beneath each English term as a built-in vocabulary check rather than a separate glossary.
Edit the Word document to reorder or trim the compound list for a shorter quiz, since the file is a standard .docx rather than a locked worksheet.
Skills covered
Acid and base nomenclature — students write formulas for named compounds such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and name formulas such as HClO4 and Mg(OH)2 (pages 1-2).
Binary vs. ternary acid classification — students work through separate sets of binary acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid) and ternary acids (e.g., nitric acid, sulfuric acid), reinforcing the naming pattern differences between the two groups.
Bilingual vocabulary cross-checking — students use the Korean translation under each term to confirm chemistry vocabulary while completing English-language nomenclature problems.
Self-checking against a key — students verify all 40 formula/name answers against the included answer key (page 2).
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How is the Korean translation presented alongside each question?
Each English compound name or formula prompt has its Korean translation printed directly beneath it, so students can check the vocabulary without switching to a separate glossary or dictionary.
