First thoughts about Nomenclature

My very first thoughts when being introduced to Nomenclature was "Oh, this isn't that hard!" Learning about the 3 types of binary nomenclature compounds seemed somewhat easy and understandable. Type 1 contained a metal and a non-metal with no changes to the name off of the periodic table. Type 2 were generally found in the transition block, and roman numerals are in between the first and last name and used to illustrate the charge on the cation. Type 3 used pre-fixes to name the elements, going all the way up to "hepta" for 10. After being comfortable with this lesson, I would have to quickly realize that nothing else was going to be this easy.
