I need a link for the -ic and -ous classical naming system of chemistry. (Ex: ferrous, ferric, cuprous, etc.) Or please list them if you know them! Thanks.

No I know what all that stuff means. I jsut want a list such as Iron two is ferric and Iron 3 is ferrous.

Kind of like what Richard gave examples of but I need all of them.

The -ic refer to the ion with less electrons than the -ous form. For example Ferric chloride is FeCl(3) and Ferrous chloride is FeCl(2). In ferric chloride the iron atom has lost 3 electrons so it has a +3 charge. In ferrous chloride the iron atom has lost 2 electrons so it has a +2 charge. For copper ... cupric is a copper atom that has lost 2 electrons and cuprous the copper atom has lost 1 electron.

a million. cobalt chloride 2. chromium bromide 3. lead oxide 4. tin oxide 5. iron oxide 6. iron chloride i dont think of they have -ous or -ic endings, substitute them in case you'de like however

It depends on the positive charge: one has 2+ charge and the other has 3+.
But now you have to look them up to figure out which....:)
