Exploring Ionic Compounds and Their Naming

The video tutorial explains how to name ionic compounds, focusing on a compound made of nitrogen and potassium. It outlines the rules for naming, emphasizing the order of naming the metal first and the non-metal second, with the non-metal's name ending changed to '-ide'. The tutorial guides viewers through identifying metals and non-metals using the periodic table and demonstrates the naming process with potassium nitride as an example.
