The video tutorial explains how to name the compound LiCl by identifying it as a binary ionic compound. It details the process of naming the metal and non-metal components using the periodic table, and how to replace the ending of the non-metal with 'ide'. The tutorial also covers how to write the chemical formula from the name lithium chloride by understanding the charges of lithium and chlorine, ensuring the net charge is zero. The video concludes with a brief thank you from Dr. B.
