Study Notes
Ionic and Covalent Compounds
- Ionic compounds are formed by a metal and a nonmetal
- Covalent compounds are formed by nonmetals sharing electrons
- The cation is written first, followed by the anion
- Subscripts in the formula must create an electrically neutral formula unit
- Subscripts should be the smallest whole numbers possible
- If a polyatomic ion appears more than once in the formula, enclose it in parentheses and list the subscript after the parentheses
- The nonmetal ions are usually named by the element name and changing the ending to -ide (e.g., oxygen-oxide)
- Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element present in a compound (mono=1, di=2, tri=3, tetra=4, penta=5, hexa=6, hepta=7, octa=8, nona=9, deca=10)
