How To Name Ionic Compounds In Chemistry 

How'd did I do in the exam

For me it's 15 mins

8 hours before :D

1 hour before exam

How is life, where are you in life

Hopefully you graduated

Says in the video but usually it's when the anion part of the ionic compound has 4 (usually with oxygen as the anion) atoms per molecule makes it ate, and one less oxygen makes it ite. NO3 - is Nitrate, NO2 - is Nitrite But it isn't based on the number of anions on the end, since: PO4 ^ 3- is phosphate and... PO3 ^ 3- is phosphite. There are definitely exceptions but these are usually something you will see fairly often and it will stick with practice. Alternatively, you will google it like everyone else in the world once you're done being shit tested in academia.

So -ide are for monoatomic ions while -ate and -ite are for polyatomic ions?

yes@@bonbonpony

I plan on releasing one this evening. It's currently in production.

@@TheOrganicChemistryTutor Thank you very much

I was confused at first too! Sulfur (not Silver) does have a -2 charge and we want to cancel it out! And although Calcium has only +1 charge... we have TWO atoms of Calcium that balance out the one atom of -2 Sulfur.

Did you fail

Did u fail chat

I understood till the last 3 minutes 💔

Did you fail???

Reall

Its because CO is a covalent compound (made of nonmetals) and CaO is an ionic compound (metal + nonmetal). Only covalent compounds use prefixes!
