The first of a four part trilogy… an epic journey through the periodic table. We’ll start in the royal court of the noble gases and then slide on around to...
Playlist - Full Course! Start to Finish!
This is it! Here is the entire course IN ORDER!
We’ll keep working our way in from the edges of the periodic table. Group 2 is known as the Alkaline Earth Metals and, as predicted, are less reactive than group 1...

Time to wrap up the periodic table with the main block elements. They are a supergroup composed of other families and, thus, represent a lot of different properties...
Compounds. We exist because they exist, but why do they exist? Let’s look at a brief overview of why they form and the role stability/potential energy plays in all...
The fact that certain atoms are willing to gain or lose electrons to gain full outer shells has some huge ramifications on the structures and properties of the compounds...
NAMING. (Imagine a Patrick Stewart voice-over, here.) Probably one of the most critical aspects of chemistry, because if you can’t name a compound, you can’t...
A quick review on changing an ionic name to an ionic formula. Then onto the main attraction: taking an ionic formula and back calculating the ionic name. It’s not...
Polyatomics! They make naming look hard, but are actually pretty simple. Grab a common ion/polyatomic sheet and let’s name some compounds.
The End Boss of your 64-bit ionic naming adventure… the acid. We’ll take everything we’ve learned and throw in some new rules to handle the trickiest...
