Chemistry Properties and Structure of Matter: Properties of Matter - Naming Allotropes

This lesson covers writing chemical formulae and names of elements and their allotropes. It explains different chemical structures, such as ionic lattices, metallic lattices, molecules, and covalent networks, and their impact on naming and formulae. The concept of allotropy is introduced, with examples like oxygen and sulfur. The lesson provides rules for writing chemical formulae and naming elements, emphasizing the importance of understanding chemical structures.
