Naming Covalent Molecular Compounds

We'll learn how to write names for compounds that are made of two nonmetals, sometimes called binary compounds. Binary compounds made of two nonmetals are called covalent or molecular because the elements are held together with covalent bonds, and they make molecules. In order to name them, we use the element name for the first element in the chemical formula, and then we use the -ide name for the second name in the chemical formula. Greek prefixes to show the number of atoms of each element, and these are put in front of the element names.

IMPORTANT: There is a small mistake in this video. At the beginning, I show the Formula Fe3O2 and call it "Iron (II) Oxide." The correct formula for Iron (II) Oxide would be FeO. Sorry about that!

your passion for teaching and excitement for chemistry is infectious. Hopefully my exam in a couple days goes well. With these videos you've made, I truly have no excuses.

This here is the definition of what a great teacher truly looks like.

Scored an A in my last test solely by watching your videos haha, no help from textbook or teacher whatsoever

I am currently coaching my granddaughter during the lockdown. Because I live in Spain, and she lives in the UK, we communicate via iphones. I have to say (as a chemistry graduate myself) that this has been one of the best introductory lessons I have seen. Beautifully prepared and perfectly delivered. Well done that man ! Regards from sunny Spain.

i really wan to say thankyou for these videos. everytime i watch school related videos i get bored and tend to tune out the information. your passion for the subject is infectious and i find myself really engaged with you hand gestures and good projection.

This might be your best tut yet that I've watched (and I've watched 'em all up to this point as I go through my CHM 101 class). STEPS!! Who doesn't love steps! Steps make everything clear and digestible--and DOABLE! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Watchmenwall]

You've saved my chemistry grade. Ily

[kaylae.]

WOW! You cleared up the million questions I had in 10 mins. All million of my questions came from a 4hr lecture I had in Chem today
.. Thank you

[mizzylizzywilly]

I never take chemistry ever and I'm 50yrs old trying to help my son with his chemistry. I'm glad I found you. Not only I'm getting better at this but my son is improving his chemistry. Thank you so much

[samizek]

I have a chemistry degree and I can tell this guy is teaching awesome

[crystalw]

You are so great. Very organized and thorough! Absolutely emaculant! Keep it up the exceptional work!

[isaiahkidd]

Anyone else here because their chemistry teacher sucks at teaching?

[mintgreen]

I watched this when I was in 10th grade and now I'm in my 1st year in college. You're my lifesaver! Thank you so much sir! God bless you.
