Naming and Identifying Chemical Compounds

This video tutorial from Lehi Carbon Community College covers the naming conventions for ionic and covalent compounds in chemistry. It explains how to name ionic compounds by stating the metal's full name and the non-metal's root with an 'ide' ending. For covalent compounds, prefixes are used to indicate subscripts. The video also discusses naming transition metals, which require indicating the oxidation state with Roman numerals. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate these conventions.

What is the primary focus of the video tutorial?

• Naming conventions for chemical compounds

• Laboratory safety procedures

• Periodic table trends

• Chemical reactions and equations

How do you name the non-metal in an ionic compound?
