Common Names of Chemical Compounds and Formula SSC – GK Notes





If you keep an eye on the latest trend followed by SSC for General Awareness questions, you would notice that Science facts are covering major portions of it. Questions belonging to physics, chemistry & biology arefrequently asked in most of the competitive exams including SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC MTS, SSC CPO, SCC JEE, SSC LDC, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, IBPS SO, IPPB Sc. I, LIC AAO etc. For students who had science in 10+2, answering such questions is not hard but for those who did not, it becomes quite difficult. Nowadays a lot of question about Common names of chemical compounds are being included in SSC CPO exams 2017. To help you quickly take a look at important Chemical compounds and their common names, we are providing you with a list of chemical compounds and their common names. Before you take a look at the list of Chemical Compounds and formula SSC, let’s understand some basic definitions below!

#1. Chemical Formula – Definition

Chemical formulas are expressions which state number and types of atoms present in a molecule of a substance.



Examples – CO2, NaCl

Now that you know what a chemical formula is let’s understand what are chemical compounds and also take a look at the list of chemical compounds and formula SSC.

#2. Chemical Compounds – List of Chemical Compounds and Formula SSC

A combination of multiple elements that can be reduced to simpler substances by chemical means and have properties different from those of its parent elements.

Examples – Carbon Dioxide, Sodium Chloride

Chemical names are just to give an accurate description of a substance’s composition but you rarely ask someone to pass sodium chloride at the dinner table. Therefore we use Common Names like table salt but you should also keep in mind that common names are not universal and vary from place to place. But Common names are essential to learning as they are frequently asked in various competitive examinations.

Let’s now look at the detailed list of Chemical Compounds and their common names and chemical formulas.
