Ionic Compounds and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to name the compound SRO by identifying its components on the periodic table. Strontium is a metal, and oxygen is a non-metal, forming an ionic compound. The naming process involves writing 'strontium' as it appears on the periodic table and modifying 'oxygen' to 'oxide'. The tutorial also covers writing chemical formulas by balancing charges, with strontium having a 2+ charge and oxygen a 2- charge, resulting in the formula SRO. The video concludes with a summary of the naming process.
