Discover the process of naming acids based on their anions and oxidation states. This video breaks down the correct naming of HNO2(aq) by distinguishing its anion and determining its place in the world of mineral acids.

This video outlines the process of calculating the number of moles in various elemental samples. It begins by explaining the relationship between molar mass and atomic weight. Each sample's mass is divided by the respective element's molar mass to find the number of moles. It provides detailed calculations for four elemental samples: zinc (Zn), argon (Ar), tantalum (Ta), and lithium (Li), converting results to scientific notation where necessary. The script demonstrates how to determine the mole

This discussion explores the nature of hydrogen peroxide as a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms and categorizes it as either a homoatomic or heteroatomic molecule.
