Study Notes
Ionic Compounds Overview
- Ions are charged atoms, which can be cations (positive) or anions (negative).
- Cations: Formed when metals lose electrons; only metals can become cations.
- Anions: Formed when nonmetals gain electrons; only nonmetals can become anions.
- Ionic Bonds: Occur between metal and nonmetal atoms, where the metal loses electrons and the nonmetal gains them, resulting in a compound.
Key Ionic Compounds
- LiBr: Lithium bromide
- Cu₃N₂: Copper (II) nitride
- MgCl₂: Magnesium chloride
- PbS: Lead (II) sulfide
- Al₂Se₃: Aluminum selenide
Chemical Formulas for Specific Compounds
- K₃N: Potassium nitride
- Al₂S₃: Aluminum sulfide
- SnS₂: Tin (IV) sulfide
- KOH: Potassium hydroxide
- LiF: Lithium fluoride
- K₂O: Potassium oxide
- MgF₂: Magnesium fluoride
- AlF₃: Aluminum fluoride
- Ca₃N₂: Calcium nitride
- Li₂S: Lithium sulfide

- Lithium Nitrate (LiNO₃): Functions in batteries and thermal storage systems.
Summary of Ionic Compound Naming Conventions
- Cation named first, followed by anion.
- Transition metals require Roman numerals to indicate charge.
- Prefixes are not used; compounds are named based on oxidation states and charges.
