How do you name acids? We'll learn how to look at the chemical formula for an acid and then write its name. We will focus on both acids without oxygen and also acids that contain oxygen, which are sometimes called oxoacids. In order to name an acid, you need separate the H+ from the negative ion. Then you figure out the name of the negative ion, and use rules for acid compound naming. If the negative ion ends in ide, the acid is hydro -ic acid. If the negative ion ends in -ate, the acid is -ic acid. If the negative ion ends in -ite, the acid is -ous acid. It's also important to note that there are some exceptions: phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid.

    When ur teacher says "any questions?" And so say "no" but u don't understand anything so u watch Tyler DeWitt's lessons 😂

    Dear people who bring up the hands, There are lots of chem videos out there for people who don't like seeing hands that use khan academy style writing software but 90% of the time that method comes off as impersonal and almost robotic. Sure, nothing is in the way to block your view but what good is that if the information is too convoluted to understand or too dull to stay awake through! What Tyler DeWitt does is simply brilliant; he grabs your attention and presents the information in such a practical and easy to follow way. Asking him to take away his hands is like asking him to take his soul out of the videos. (That's why that suggestion is so hurtful). His hands guide you and take you on an epic journey of understanding first semester chemistry (and beyond)(,: Thanks so much Tyler!!

    I love this dude. He doesn't include any corny humor or "lol so relatable" moments like some other youtube educators do. He knows what the students straight up need and teaches it in such an effective, clear, and organized way!!!!

    Thank God I found you. If it wasn't for you, I would be failing Chemistry. You are awesome!!!! Best Instructor
  • @Scaarfii
    You're probably the best teacher I've seen on Youtube. You speak clearly, and you express interest as if you're telling a story to us. You always provide clear pictures. You avoid using overly complex terms only advanced people would know. You're honestly amazing and I don't know where I'd be in Chemistry right now without your lessons.

    Thank you so much Tyler! I have a Chemistry test and my teacher is horrible compared to you. YOU explain this materials like you discovered it, with fluidity and great examples! Thank you so much for these awesome explanation videos! Keep up the great work!
  • What a great teacher he is. He is the reason why not everyone should become a teacher and only those who can actually teach. I remember suffering through many teachers who only saw it as a job and then experienced a biology teacher who was a teacher with all of her heart and explained everything SO well, step by step, and if you had a question, she always wanted you to ask. She made me go to med school after being a high school drop out. Due to her I learned to learn and to have fun studying something which I thought I would never ever be able to study.
  • Thank you Tyler Dewitt, because of you, I came up with a way to have two jobs at once. 1.Become a Teacher. 2.Come into classroom. 3.Show a playlist of all your videos on the computer. 4.Leave.
  • @Lupinze3rd
    I cant thank you enough for these videos. Every one I have watched I seem to have that "Ohhhhh...." moment. I am going to pass my Chemistry course because of your help. Thank you so much

    i -ATE so i am s-ICk the b-ITE was poisin-OUS
  • @coolmathgames.
    I love how you were smiling so hard when you were saying the phrases on how to remember them. & thank you!
  • @owendremel8142
    I learned more information in 10 minutes from you than from my own teacher in two weeks... Thank you
  • DONT LET HATERS GET TO YOU. YOUR VIDEOS HONESTLY SAVED MY LIFE. I failed chemistry so many times I don't even bother to count but your videos gave me hope again.
  • @jackgordon8751
    Perfect timing! I have a unit test tomorrow. Wish me luck!
  • @MNGMakeup
    ...can you be my Chemistry Professor?
  • @jacobotou477
    Thank you I am in a horrible class and you and Dr B are the only answers I have to life
  • You are a teacher unlike a lot of people who get jobs teaching. Some of these people just show off their knowledge and go too fast missing out steps so only a minority of people get to understand.
