Naming Ionic Compounds and Polyatomic Ions

This video tutorial explains the use of suffixes ide, ate, and ite in naming chemical compounds. The suffix ide is used for ionic compounds, where a metal bonds with a non-metal. The suffixes ate and ite are used for polyatomic ions, which are clusters of elements that remain intact. The video provides examples, such as sodium chloride and potassium nitrate, to illustrate these naming conventions. It also explains how the suffix changes from ate to ite when a polyatomic ion loses an oxygen atom. The tutorial concludes with advanced examples and encourages viewers to ask questions or support the content.
