Explanation

Remember that ionic compounds consist of metal and nonmetal and covalent compounds consist of two nonmetals. You can determine a metal from a nonmetal by looking at your periodic table. Most periodic tables will have a key indicating the type of elements.

Remember: All elements in Group 1 have an oxidation number of +1; Group 2 = +2; Group 13 = +3; Group 15 = -3; Group 16 = -2 and Group 17 = -1

Remember: All elements in Group 1 have an oxidation number of +1; Group 2 = +2; Group 13 = +3; Group 15 = -3; Group 16 = -2 and Group 17 = -1

element symbol for potassium is K; the oxidation states: K+1 and O-2; you use the swap technique and you have 2 K atoms and 1 O atom. So the formula would be K2O

As a reminder: Roman Numeral I = 1 Roman Numeral II = 2 Roman Numeral III = 3 Roman Numeral IV = 4 Roman Numeral V = 5

As a reminder: Roman Numeral I = 1 Roman Numeral II = 2 Roman Numeral III = 3 Roman Numeral IV = 4 Roman Numeral V = 5

As a reminder: Roman Numeral I = 1 Roman Numeral II = 2 Roman Numeral III = 3 Roman Numeral IV = 4 Roman Numeral V = 5

Copy the following if you did not get it off of the video: mono- = 1 di- = 2 tri- = 3 tetra- = 4 penta- = 5 hexa- = six hepa- = 7 octa- = 8 nona- = 9 deca- = 10

Copy the following if you did not get it off of the video: mono- = 1 di- = 2 tri- = 3 tetra- = 4 penta- = 5 hexa- = six hepa- = 7 octa- = 8 nona- = 9 deca- = 10

Copy the following if you did not get it off of the video: mono- = 1 di- = 2 tri- = 3 tetra- = 4 penta- = 5 hexa- = six hepa- = 7 octa- = 8 nona- = 9 deca- = 10

The prefix tri- means 3, so you have 3 nitrogens. The symbol for nitrogen is N. The prefix hexa means 6, so you have 6 sulfurs. The symbol for sulfur is S. Therefore the answer would be: N3S6

The prefix tri- means 3, so you have 3 nitrogens. The symbol for nitrogen is N. The prefix hexa means 6, so you have 6 sulfurs. The symbol for sulfur is S. Therefore the answer would be: N3S6

In the formula, you have 3 phosphorus atoms. The prefix for 3 is tri-. You have 5 chlorine atoms. The prefix for 5 is penta-. When you put it together: 3 phosphorus = triphosphorus and 5 chlorine atoms = pentachloride. Remember for the second nonmetal you drop the -ine and add the -ide.
