In this video I will explain an easy way of memorizing polyatomic ions. For a printable list of polyatomic ions click the link below: millingschem.com/wp-content/up...
2 weeks? Our teacher told us about the quiz 5 DAYS before, and she didn't even teach us what polyatomic ions were until 2 days ago. Now I have so little time to memorize all these before Monday :(
Emily Nicole same I have to know all these polyatomic ions and I was like this is way to much for me to memorize. Thank you, now I only have to memorize the ate
The table helped a lot, thank you. Then for charges I just remember that all the -ates that have a subscript of 3 are -1. All the -ates that have a subscript of 4 are -2, except for phosphate(which has a charge of -3). These at least apply to the family ions which I am familiar with.
Omg this concept really helps with hashing out all the ions really easily thank you so much! good example of how knowing a few rules can save you hours of studying
Thanks for this video. I'm in 10th grade and we have to have memorized all 27 of these by 3rd quarter and we've had 3 weeks to start. I struggled through the periodic objective checks (to see how well we're studying them) and after I literally got a 0/27 on one of the quizes I came here. Really saved my upcoming 3rd quarter thanks :)
im over 1/2 of the way thru my chem class rn and im now just trying to memorize these (my teacher introduced these to us at the beginning)… this video has help more than anyone else🤞 edit: i also am a former catholic school kid, so it was HARD to grasp even the basics😭😭
wooooo!! this makes so much sense! my professor had me confused lecture after lecture and I watched and understood it before the video ended!!! Hey thanks @Chem Academy :)
i was told i have to memorize all of these in three days and i’m dying. my professor really said “you probably won’t be able to get all them by friday but they’re going to be on the exam anyway :)” AJHEJDHDJS
my teacher never taught any of this. she just gave us the list of polyatomic ions and told us to memorize them. it's a lot easier to memorize when you understand what you're memorizing.
I am taking chemistry for the first time in college and wondering if it is safe to say that polyatomic ions that end with -ate can be thought of as the base versions of those ions and all the rest are alterations of that base version?
Good summary of how the polyatomics scale up and down with the number of oxygens. Do you recommend students memorize this will brute force or are there some techniques and tricks to help get them down? I'm looking for suggestions. I've heard of "Nick the Camel ate Clams in Phoenix"... is that the best? Any advice anyone?
Thank you so much!! Also, is there any way we could print out or access the chart for the -ide, -hypo, -ite, -ate, and -per?? If so, it would be so helpful... Thanks again!!
Thank you so much for this video! You did a great job explaining the differences! Also, I tried googling the chart you have on this video and I can't find it. Where did you get it? Do you have a link to post so we can print it?
