Here's how to write formulas for ionic compounds that contain polyatomic ions. In order to write formulas for polyatomic ions, you have to look at a chart or table of polyatomic ions to find out what the charge of each one is. Then, you figure out how many other ions will be necessary to balance out the charges and make it neutral.

"...and these are just a few of my favorite polyatomic ions..." The best teachers love what they teach and who they teach. Thanks for the assistance my man!

Hands down one of the most understandable teachers I have ever seen. If every teacher could teach like this I'm pretty sure the world would be much smarter. great vid

dude it takes you 10-15 minuets to perfectly and effectively explain things it takes my chem teacher 2 days to explain. Like actually, I found your vids, and my grades started rising so I hardly pay attention in class anymore and my grades are doing so much better. Thank you so much.
