My son is learning chemical compound naming conventions. Oxyanions (i.e. polyatomic negatively charged ions with oxygen atoms combined with another element) are named hypo-*-ite, *-ite, *-ate, and per-*-ate, depending on the number of oxygen atoms in the anion. Hypo-*-ite has the least number of oxygen atoms, while per-*-ate has the most oxygen atoms.
He was having a little trouble remembering if hypo- means the least or the most, so the first word that came to my mind to help him remember was “hyponatremia.” Who besides a fitness nut even knows what that word means?
