The EASY way to name Ionic Compounds!
In this video we are going to look how to name binary ionic compounds. These compounds deal with the ionic bonding of 2 different elements. Remember that an ionic compound is formed between a metal and a nonmetal or a cation and an...

Writing Formulas for Covalent Compounds
A covalent compound is formed when 2 nonmetals bond together. When we have a covalent compound we have to use a specific set of naming rules. The first rules is that the first element keeps its name. The second rule is that the second...
