This program covers the very important topic of naming molecular compounds. We begin by discussing how molecular compounds form and how they arise in nature. We discuss in detail the naming method for molecular compounds including all of...

This program covers the very important topic of ionic compounds. We discuss how ionic compounds form and how to predict ahead of time what the chemical formula will be when given the atoms that form the ionic compound. We spend a great...

This program covers the very important topic of ionic compounds with polyatomic ions. We discuss the concept of a polyatomic ion as simply the grouping of atoms that has a net charge associated with it. We then discuss how these...

Practice REAL problems from actual past IIT/JEE exams with Professor Dave!

This program covers the very important topic of hydrate compounds. We begin by discussing what a hydrate compound is and why they exist in nature. We discuss how to name hydrate compounds using numerous examples. The entire lesson is...

We know that within an ionic compound, the ions are held together by ionic bonds. What is the strength of those bonds, and what is the lattice energy possessed by the entire lattice? Can we compare two compounds and say which has the...

As long as we're naming stuff, let's name these hydrated salts! You know, like epsom salts?

The video discusses how the physical properties of substances depend on the bonding between particles. It covers ionic compounds, small molecules, giant covalent structures, metals, and alloys, and explains how the nature of the bonding...

Learn the basics about Electrolysis of Molten Compounds. What is electrolysis? What are molten compounds? Find out more in this video!

We've learned a lot about covalent compounds, but we haven't talked quite as much about ionic compounds in their solid state. These will adopt a highly ordered and repeating lattice structure, but the geometry of the lattice depends...

Learn the basics about what salts are, as part of the overall topic of acids and bases.

Learn the basics about Displacement reactions and reactions in solutions. What are displacement reactions? and what they in solutions? Find out more in this video!

Most transition metal cations can do something interesting in solution, they can interact with specific ligands to form complex ions. These coordinate covalent bonds are new territory, so let's get a mini introduction to inorganic...

This lesson will uncover the rules for writing the names and chemical formulae of polyatomic ions and ionic compounds.<br/>
Definitions included: monoatomic ion, polyatomic ion

This video begins with an example of a simple ionic compound, salt, showing a model and then its chemical name. The video continues with an example of a divalent metal and discusses the oxidation number of the elements in these compounds...

In this video learn how to write ionic compound formulae and how to name ionic compounds. This is the first of a two part video series.

In this video learn about polyatomic ions, how to name the ionic compounds formed from these ions and how to deduce formulae of ionic compounds formed from polyatomic ions.

The program offers a brief review of ions. Students will learn what determines the charge on an ion and how ionic bonds are formed. Viewers will come to understand that ionic bonds form due to electrostatic attraction between two ions...

We have to know how to name ionic compounds. Not any name we want like Jeff or Larry, there's rules for how to name them. And look at all these adorable polyatomic ions!

Learn the basics about properties of ionic substances as a part of ionic bonding within properties of matter.

Learn the basics about Ionic Compounds, how they are formed and what their properties are.
