Naming Ionic Compounds

The video tutorial explains how to name ionic compounds by understanding ion charges and their combinations to form neutral compounds. It covers the naming conventions for both monoatomic and polyatomic ions, including the use of suffixes and prefixes. The tutorial also discusses the importance of oxidation states in naming transition metals and provides examples of naming binary covalent compounds. The video emphasizes the need for memorization of certain polyatomic ions and their charges.
