Mastering Compound Naming Through Interactive Learning

The video tutorial explains how to name chemical compounds using the periodic table and common ion table. It covers the naming of compounds like sodium nitrate, potassium nitrite, calcium hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, calcium phosphite, and ammonium nitrate. The tutorial emphasizes understanding ion charges and balancing them to determine compound names, even when dealing with complex polyatomic ions.
