The video discusses the different types of inorganic chemical functions. The first type is the oxidation of an oxide to a basic metal and water. The second type is the combination of a basic metal with water to form a hydroxide. The third type is the combination of two elements to form a gas. The fourth type is the combination of two elements to form a compound.

• 00:00:00 Inorganic chemicals include those that come from minerals, and unlike organic chemicals, which are produced by living organisms, inorganic chemicals are produced solely by metals and oxygen. There are four inorganic chemical functions, among which the first is the oxidation of an oxide to a basic metal and water. Oxidation states of metals can be identified by their oxidation number, which is represented by the letter "w." Oxidation states of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur can also be identified by their oxides' oxidation numbers. The second inorganic chemical function is the combination of a basic metal with water to form a hydroxide. The hydroxides are identifiable by their hydroxyl group's functional group, which is always represented by the letter "h." Hydroxides also arise from the union of a basic metal with water. The third inorganic chemical function is the combination of two elements to form a gas. The gases are identifiable by their molecular formula, which is always a number preceded by the letter "m." Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide are all examples of gases. The fourth inorganic chemical function is the combination of two elements to form a compound. Compounds are identifiable by their molecular formula, which is always
• 00:05:00 Chemical functions can be described with the prefix "inorganic." There are two types of inorganic functions: those that involve a mineral and those that involve a nonmetal element. One type of inorganic function is the production of an acid from an acid-base reaction. The acid-base reaction is the interaction of an acid and a base. Recall that the acid-base reaction was the result of combining an oxygen gas with a nonmetal element. An example of an inorganic acid is the sulfuric acid found in city water. Another type of inorganic function is the production of an acid from the interaction of a hydrogen gas and water. In this reaction, we have a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) plus one molecule of water. This produces an acid-oxygen compound, which is a triatomic acid (H3O+CO2). We also have inorganic functions that involve the combination of two molecules of an element to create a new molecule. For example, when we combine hydrogen and sulfur to create sulfuric acid, we are creating a compound made up of three elements: hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon dioxide. Finally, we have inorganic functions that arise from the interaction of a hydrogen gas
