Writing Formulas with Polyatomic Ions

To see all my Chemistry videos, check out

Here's how to write formulas for ionic compounds that contain polyatomic ions. In order to write formulas for polyatomic ions, you have to look at a chart or table of polyatomic ions to find out what the charge of each one is. Then, you figure out how many other ions will be necessary to balance out the charges and make it neutral.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

This dude deserves a special place in heaven

[EmmaLouiseHarvey]

this taught me more in 11 minutes than my teacher has taught me in the past 6 weeks wow i love you

[kaelathompson]

i just had a major moment
thank you SO much

[petegrantham]

2 days of lecture now make sense after 12 minutes of Youtube

[TheFatalkick]

Hands down one of the most understandable teachers I have ever seen. If every teacher could teach like this I'm pretty sure the world would be much smarter. great vid

[gretanelson]

this man is literally teaching me my whole curriculum

[missmilky]

I’ve been confused on this for so long and have a huge test on it in a few hours. This video just made EVERYTHING make sense. Thanks man I really mean it you just saved me from failing.

That moment when you learned more from this than four weeks of

"...and these are just a few of my favorite polyatomic ions..." The best teachers love what they teach and who they teach. Thanks for the assistance my man!

dude it takes you 10-15 minuets to perfectly and effectively explain things it takes my chem teacher 2 days to explain. Like actually, I found your vids, and my grades started rising so I hardly pay attention in class anymore and my grades are doing so much better. Thank you so much.

[caitlyncaby]

you explain in 10 minutes what takes my professor two lecture periods. and you do a way better job. you're a saint.

[emyleemccague]

I've been staring at my textbook for 4 hours trying to comprehend this. You taught me in less than 12 minutes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[kristianchoate]

I’ve been staring at my chemistry book for 5 hours trying to figure out how they were getting these formulas and you’ve just explained it clearly in 10 minutes. Thank you so much.

I believe you have figured out the BEST way of teaching a complex subject like Chemistry, bar none. In other teaching videos, we are left waiting while the instructor writes out words using a pen tablet, sometimes having to correct a mistake. You have the drawings already pre-drawn and you simply pick them up and add them to your teaching canvas. A brilliant use of old-school methods. Your hands help to further guide the student through your incredibly well thought out course. I'm helping my daughter with her Chemistry, and this is what I show to her before we start (and it's what I watch to re-learn Chemistry). I'm really, really impressed.

I love you so so so much you literally saved my life

Many polyatomic ions end in "ate" and "ite". Monoatomic anions end in "ide". Exception to "ide" ending is hydroxide (OH-) and cyanide (CN-) ions.

[vincenttomek]

Bro, u have such a way of teaching. It so well done that I'm slightly annoyed that you're not my science teacher.

[teatsofgargamel]

i’m watching this literally an hour before my exam. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

[morgansetareh]

HONESTLY, GD BLESS YOU TYLER DEWITT. I have anxiety with the amount thats needed to learn in chemistry and you made it so I wish every professor was like you!
