Chemistry Refresher: Molecules, Compounds, and Mixtures

Molecules, Compounds, and Mixtures

This page will introduce or help refresh your knowledge on the molecules, compounds, and mixtures of chemistry. 

The videos to the right will explore properties of ionic and covalent compounds, pure substances and mixtures, separation, compound naming, and empirical and molecular formulas. Be sure to view all videos.

Molecules, Compounds, and Mixtures (click RIGHT)

Pure Substances vs. Mixtures

Ionic vs. Molecular

How to determine from a chemical formula, difference between iconic and covalent, and atomic arrangement. 

Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds

A comparison of physical properties for ionic and covalent compounds.

Separation

Review physical and chemical means of separation.

How to Name Chemical Compounds

How to Name Chemical Compounds. Learn how to easily name ionic and covalent compounds. Mr. Causey shows you step by step how to use the periodic table, a list of polyatomic ions, and numeric prefixes to name ionic compounds and covalent compounds.

Determining Empirical and Molecular Formulas

This tutorial covers how to determine the empirical and molecular formulas of a compound from quantitative analyses and includes examples of how to calculate the empirical formula given the percent composition by mass of an unknown compound.
