The video tutorial explains the composition of molecules from atoms and how similar atoms form elements. It introduces the use of chemical symbols by chemists to represent elements easily. The tutorial covers the rules for writing these symbols, such as using one or two letters, with the first letter capitalized. It also addresses cases where multiple elements share the same initial letter and how Latin influences some chemical symbols, like potassium, which is represented by 'K' from its Latin name 'Kalium'.
