Ionic Compound Formation Explained

This video is an educational presentation on how to form compounds through understanding the charges on various ions. The viewer learns about the formation of positive and negative ions in metals and non-metals, how to predict the charge on an ion based on its group number, and the formation of polyatomic ions. The video also shows how to determine the chemical formula of a compound by balancing the charges on each ion to create a neutrally charged compound. The video also covers transition metals and how they can form positive ions with a range of charges. Polyatomic ions are explained and examples of these ions are given.
