Скачать или смотреть Covalent Compounds: Naming and Formulas

In this video, we focus on simple binary covalent compounds and how to name them and write their chemical formulas using Greek prefixes. You’ll learn when prefixes are used, how they change compound names, and how to correctly translate between a name and a formula.

We also look at diatomic covalent elements, including practical ways to remember which elements exist naturally as diatomic molecules. Common pitfalls, such as when to drop or modify prefixes, are explained along the way to help you avoid typical mistakes.

This lesson is designed for high school chemistry and introductory chemistry courses and builds directly on earlier work with inorganic nomenclature. It’s part of the RMJ Science series on naming inorganic compounds, with an emphasis on understanding patterns rather than memorization.
