• Ionic bonding and properties:  How does ionic bonding happen?  How is it related to the properties of ionic compounds?  Find out here!
• Friendship of Li and Cl:  A silly little presentation that demonstrates how metals and nonmetals combine to form ionic compounds.
• Ionic compounds and metals:  A complete overview of ionic compounds and metals (originally written for a textbook I was writing).
• Naming ionic compounds:  It’s not as hard as you think.  Seriously.
• Naming ionic compounds PowerPoint:  If you’re the kind of person who learns well through PowerPoint presentations, this is the tutorial for you!
• Empirical and molecular formulas:  If you want an empirical formula or molecular formula, you’ve come to the right place!
• Hydrates:  A powerpoint about, you guessed it, hydrates.  What they are, how they’re formed, and how they’re un-formed.

Supplemental videos:  These videos are all over at the amazing Crash Course YouTube channel.  I didn’t make these, though I wish I did.

• Crash course chemistry:  Atomic hookups:  The types of chemical bond:  Ionic, covalent, etc.
