How to Find the Charge of an Ion! (The Octet Rule)

In this video I go over the long tedious way to find the charge of an ion, and then explain the shortcuts for ionic charge so that you can fully understand the periodic table with charges trends, so that when any problem is given to you you can figure out the ionic charge.
