🧪 Why is this important?
Chemical formulas are the foundation of understanding and communicating chemistry. Whether you're a student preparing for an upcoming test or just a curious learner, knowing how to write these formulas is crucial for success in your chemistry journey.

Here's what we'll cover in this tutorial:
🔬 Binary Ionic Compounds: We'll start with the basics, showing you how to combine the charges of different ions to create formulas for simple binary compounds.

🧪 Compounds with Polyatomic Ions: Things can get a bit more complex when polyatomic ions are involved. We'll break down the process, making it easy to write formulas for compounds containing polyatomic ions.

⚙️ Transition Metal Compounds: Transition metals can have multiple oxidation states, making them a bit trickier to work with. We'll simplify the process and show you how to write formulas for compounds with transition metals.

Finally we'll learn to write formulas for molecular compounds (also called covalent compounds).

this is a perfect refresher. I took chem 1 10 years ago and got thrown into chem2 this year. So hoping to take the mcat and I keep going back to your videos to brush up on the basics... keep doing these live streams on essential chem vids!

Today I am having my chemistry exam wish me luck 🤞
Topics are chemical bonding, classification of periodic table, structure of atom

it's refreshing to remember this little thinks about ions as compounds😅
