General Chemistry - Naming Molecular Compounds | 2.3 General Chemistry

Naming Molecular Compounds Chad covers the IUPAC rules for naming covalent molecular compounds in chemistry in this lesson as well as how to determine the chemical formula from the name. The Greek numerical prefixes (mono, di, tri, tetra, etc.) are introduced as Chad works a few examples while comparing and contrasting the rules used to name binary molecular compounds to the rules used to name ionic compounds. He also explains the exemption of the Greek numerical prefix when there is only one of the first elements in the formula in the nomenclature of molecular compounds. I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page.
