Chemistry Lesson: Identifying Ionic vs. Molecular Compounds

[@ChillaxMuzik]

You sir are God's gift to chemistry students.

[@madisonfeehan]

OMG, this suddenly makes sense! Thank you!!!!

[@Essomtial]

You just saved me 30 min of studying in that short video. Great job keep it up :D.

[@lulualajeel9022]

Ugh. I hate chemistry. I have a test tomorrow💔 but you made it way better

[@anthonysmith4754]

did you pass

[@Envind1]

I have one tomorrow alos

​@@anthonysmith4754i've been waiting for an answer for 7 years

[@ckuchan]

That was great!! In using a new textbook and teaching chem for the first time I couldn't remember the simple difference between the two types of compounds. This made it very clear where our text is very confusing! Thank you.

[@digitalstagwild9796]

Thank you so much from both me and my wife. I've been spending the last several days trying to find good information that a dunce like me can understand. My instructor speaks broken English and having issues following along. This video along with one of your other videos were exactly what was needed to learn how to identify ionic fixed, variable and molecular compounds.

[@GetChemistryHelp]

That's great to hear! Thank you for the encouraging words. Please subscribe and tell a friend to help spread the word! :)

[@khurramrehman9409]

Love it!! You taught us the concept very well.

[@racool911]

Thanks sometimes I just need a refresher on the basics

[@GetChemistryHelp]

You're welcome, Melissa! Keep checking back for more videos. :)

[@innyikoli6868]

I have a test tomorrow, YOU SAVED ME! I UNDERSTAND NOW! THANK YOU

[@kdsjafdf]

Videos like this make me enjoy Chem. Very helpful !!!

[@greenz3480]

Thanks my teacher just assigned us work on this in the textbook after not giving a lesson

[@jackmcintyre7465]

YOU ARE SO GOOD AT EXPLAINING THINGS !!!

[@Sparklingredfire]

Sir ,Your reaching skills are awesome ❤❤❤

[@GetChemistryHelp]

Happy to help, Ron. :)

[@stevenmqj8206]

Nice video, the introduction is neat and clear

[@angelfall3813]

thank you! this helped and taught me more than my chem teacher did this whole month! plus you sound nice and enthusiastic, something i can't ever expect from my stingy mean chem teacher :(

[@jontrollston]

SOOOO USEFUL THANK YOU SIR SOO MUCHHHH!!!!!

Ha! Thanks for the encouragement. Tell a friend! :)

[@gerilegru2303]

Very late comment, but what about semi-metals + metals or semi-metals + non-metals? What would those be considered? Ionic/covalent? THANK YOUUUUU so much for this video!

[@garimasinghal4977]

Why So4) -2 is termed as polyatomic ion ( as it has both non metals) Please answer

such a simple explanation... THANK YOU!!!

[@jamesboon3754]

This really helped a lot. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sciencekid1565]

i ned chiken :D

[@theextremeofflight]

Perfectly explained!

[@KILLRXNOEVIRUS]

So LiBeNaMg or something like that would be ionic? As long as theres a metal its ionic and all nonmetals then its molecular?

[@GetChemistryHelp]

Technically, your hypothetical compound is made up entirely of metals so it would use metallic bonding rather than ionic bonding, meaning it is neither an ionic nor molecular compound. The best classification is probably as an alloy, but that's outside the scope of this lesson.

[@KILLRXNOEVIRUS]

@@GetChemistryHelp thanks anyways.

You're welcome, Sam!

[@shanntok5786]

That helped me so much, THANK YOU!!!!

[@CassieGrey21]

My teacher said you can't always use the reason "the first element was a metal" to prove the compound is ionic. What else can I use to prove whether a compound is ionic or covalent?

[@Gc7788m]

Definitely helped . Thank you!

[@itsmissvivi]

I usually don't comment but thank you so much for your video. This video was very EXTREMELY helpful and I really appreciate it.

[@GetChemistryHelp]

I'm so glad you found it so helpful! I really appreciate your encouraging comment. 😀

[@PROB2966]

what about compounds with metalooids

[@YaseenMohmand-n5h]

bro saved me from my test tmr

[@samyugnageshpooja7145]

Same 😂

[@eggsandoatmeal9977]

Actually helpful, thanks!

[@FatalityMiami]

Thanks that helped me a lot :D but what about Ge (Germanium)? it is listed with semimetal elements and you have shown us that molecular compounds include nonmetals and semimetals. but in the video you mark it with the Ionic compounds.

[@GetChemistryHelp]

Semimetals can be named as either molecular or ionic compounds. For example, you could name GeCl4 as germanium(IV) chloride or germanium tetrachloride. Hope that helps!

[@FatalityMiami]

GetChemistryHelp so to classify a compounds with semimetals we should look at the second element and it will tell us if its ionic or molecular?

[@GetChemistryHelp]

No, if there is a semimetal you can simply choose how you want to name the compound. Both options (ionic or molecular) are correct in this case.

helped a lot ty

[@valmartinez8333]

thank you so much

[@lukaslinhart9192]

What if the compound is molecular but identifies as ionic? Then you cant name it like a mlecular compound.

[@AmirAli-uo6em]

This is ridiculously easy.

[@devilish-beast82]

thx!!!

[@imdeadonlyameme673]

Save ya some time - if it has any metals its ionic if it doesn't have any metals at all its molecular

[@GetChemistryHelp]

Actually, there are ionic compounds without metals, such as those with the ammonium ion. Better to say if the compound contains metals or polyatomic ions, then it's ionic. If it contains nonmetals, it's molecular.
