Naming and Charges of Ionic Compounds

The video tutorial explains how to name the compound FeBr2. It starts by identifying it as an ionic compound due to the presence of a metal and nonmetals. The tutorial then details the process of naming the metal (iron) and the nonmetal (bromine), replacing the ending with 'ide'. It discusses determining the charge of iron, given bromine's known charge, and concludes with the official name, Iron II Bromide, also known as ferrous bromide.
