    Ions and the Octet Rule

    This lesson discusses why atoms form ions in terms of the octet rule, and how to apply the octet rule in predicting ion formation. It also explains how to determine charge and the difference between cations and anions.

    Bonding Models and Lewis Structures: Crash Course Chemistry #24

    Models are great, except they’re also usually inaccurate. In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank discusses why we need models in the world and how we can learn from them . . . even when they’re almost completely wrong. Plus, Lewis Structures!
