I found your video and we watch it together and she clearly understood the way you taught it and I even had her do the practice problems to make sure she had the right answers you did. She will be watching all the videos you have until graduation😊 Thank you!

    An easy way to do it for me is to just criss cross the charges. Super simple.

    • @tdewitt451
      @tdewitt451  Před 8 lety +135

      +Jen L NOO!!!! DON'T DO IT THAT WAY!!! I hate that method and I don't talk about it here, because so many teachers tell their students to do it, but then the students have NO IDEA what they're doing. The point here is that you need the charges to balance: for example, you need two (2) Na+ to balance out one (1) O 2-. So if you understand how that works, then yeah you can use the criss-cross method, but PLEASE make sure that you understand how these charges balance out.

    After 2 videos, a whole essay, and steps to try and explain this to me, I learned nothing. All I learned is that this is very hard to explain and no one is doing it right. After I watched this video, I can understand the topic! No need for big words, just a simple explanation with a quick walk through. Thank you!
