Esperanto has 11 grammatical endings and about 30 "suffixes" (plus the scientific suffixes of chemistry, etc). They can be learned in at most a couple of hours. (See a brief explanation here.)

according to http://personal.southern.edu/~caviness/Eo_unue/Eo_...

Anybody know what they are? or a link? I can't find anything

As a chemistry student, this would greatly interest me.

To practice Esperanto, and make it so that speaking and writing Esperanto becomes second nature to me, almost that I am thinking in Esperanto.

To this end, I attempt to construct short Esperanto dialogues in my head about whatever I am doing during my day - and chemistry and physics aren't the easiest things to describe in English!

This website has a good summary of the official affixes.
For those who can read Esperanto, PMEG has pages dealing with unofficial affixes and measurement terms. It does say that there is no unique way of Esperantizing chemical names. However, you will find a selection on pp 33-35 of Wells' dictionary.

Maybe you could use those existing and put an "o" or "a" at the end of the word :
ano, eno, ino(!), cano, ceno, cino (aŭ sano, seno, sino), olo, alo, ilo, amino, karboksa, oksa, nitra, idroksa (aŭ akveca), klora, fluora, acetato de natrio, klorajxo de hidrigeno, klorhidra acido, orta, meta, para, alkilo, alilo, vinilo, propilo, izopropilo, acetilo, metano, etano, propano, butano, ĉe (ĉeplatino), tra (acido traretinoika).
Acido perasetiko = oksigena akvo + acido asetiko (aŭ acetiko?).
You could use latine names (acidumo acetisalisilikumo = aspirin) or international name (sildenafilo, the famous Viagra all spamers want sell to us on our mailboxes).
