Naming and Properties of Ag2O

The video tutorial explains how to name the compound Ag2O. It begins by identifying Ag2O as an ionic compound, consisting of a metal (silver) and a nonmetal (oxygen). The tutorial details the naming process by first identifying the metal as silver and the nonmetal as oxygen, replacing the ending with 'ide' to form 'oxide'. The video also discusses the complexity of Ag2O due to its transition metal status and typical one-plus ionic charge, which can be represented with a Roman numeral in its IUPAC name. However, it is commonly referred to as silver oxide. Dr. B concludes the tutorial by reiterating the name and thanking viewers.
