Lots of answers to that question, but basically all the Metals (stuff in the middle and to the left hand side of the per table LOSE electrons to get an electron configuration like a noble gas (are positive) and the few nonmetals on the right hand side of the table who gain electrons to become like a noble gas (are negative)......
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I wont fail! My teacher can't teach a class he can only teach one on one and I'm shy and quiet so I don't bother asking...plus he's a little scary... This helped me sooo much thank you x 10000000
My teacher is literally making me fail chemistry. I needed this so much, I try so hard but I get no where because of my awful teacher. I wish you were teaching me instead of him. Anyway, you're awesome :D! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will now get a fairly good mark on my test, hopefully an A. :D!
Now I get it...... I didn't know I can actually understand those things in 8 and 30 mins... I sat for an hour in class and nothing much happened but thanks to this vid. :D
Thank you! Whenever my teacher tries to explain something to me, she automatically assumes that I wasn't paying attention, but I was trying to understand it as well as I could, so it was nice seeing your video, where there was no stress to understand it as soon as it's said. Thanks for the review by the way!
I just started my first year of chemistry in college and I thought I was doomed in just the fourth chapter. Thank you so much for this video, I understand it now. The world needs more teachers with your passion and personality.

From where aluminum and oxygen are on the periodic table those always have charges (as ions) of +3 and -2 , respectively. There are "tricks" to balance the formula for charges (take the 2 from the O and put it after the Al, and the 3 from the Al and put it after the O...) but i prefer to think about it as having to balance the charges so they total zero. Al 2x(+3)=+6 O 3x(-2)=-6 (-6)+(+6)= 0 charges are neutral. (oh, wow,,, sillirabbit... "tricks"... wasn't even trying for that one! :)
Hey, i am just glad to hear these help somebody,,,,PLUS, nice to hear SOMEBODY out there is older than I am... most the other teachers in my department could be my kids... :)
as soon as my chem class ends, i jump on youtube and search for lectures...my professor is mean and has an accent, and gets super angry if you don't understand what he's saying. it's a nightmare.
This is great! I'm a student at UBC in Vancouver Canada and this is helping me study for my Chem 111 exam. Much better explanation than my teacher. Thanks
Thanks cugel2, I'm just a central valley California high school teacher with a large tolerance for embarrassment. Hope you do well on your exam! 1bosschemdude
This is was much help! Thanks so much!

How would you be able to figure out the formula for a compound?
For example aluminum oxide? How would you know it's Al2O3?

My Chemistry teacher is a 70-something year old feminine man who's lectures consist of telling us how dumb we are.
75% of my all girl school classmates are failing because of him and we're mainly straight A students.
