Having way too much fun trying to name ionic and covalent compounds?
Well, some think it's a gas!
[practice naming diatomic molecules, the BrINClHOF "bunch", at the link above]

Here's a few handy helpers for you. Try as many as necessary.

 list of common ions, their symbols and reaction rules  http://www.carlton.paschools.pa.sk.ca/chemical/reftables/ioncharge.htm
 more common polyatomic ions  http://www.nidlink.com/~jfromm/polyion.htm
 still more ions  http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/Nomenclature/Nomenclature-Data-Sheet.html
 nomenclature explained  http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/Nomenclature/Nomenclature.html great summary!

What does Nitinol mean, who discovered it and when, what is so special about this stuff, and how is it currently used?
