Naming glass color compounds

Now that we have discussed ionic compounds and how to write their compound formula from their name, you will practice those skills using compounds that are used to color glass.  

Given the information below write out the formulas for each compound. If you need help with any of these be sure to seek help from myself or a peer on how to be successful at this. 

There will be a quiz on 10 of the 13 compounds below, you may be writing the formula or you may be asked to name the formula.
