Study Notes
Ionic Compound Names and Formulas
- Ionic bonds form when electrons transfer from a metal to a nonmetal.
- Lewis diagrams (electron-dot structures) show how elements combine.
- Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
- Ionic compounds are hard, rigid, and brittle.
- Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water (aqueous solutions).
- Many ionic compounds are soluble in water.
- A crystal lattice is the three-dimensional geometric arrangement of particles in an ionic compound.
- Each positive ion is surrounded by negative ions, and each negative ion is surrounded by positive ions.
Formula Units
- A formula unit is the simplest ratio of ions in an ionic compound.
- The formula unit of magnesium chloride (MgClâ‚‚) reflects the 1:2 ratio of magnesium and chloride ions.
- In sodium chloride (NaCl), the ratio of sodium to chloride ions is 1:1.
Polyatomic Ions
- Polyatomic ions are ions composed of more than one atom.
- Common polyatomic ions include ammonium, nitrate, sulfate, and phosphate.
Naming Ionic Compounds (without polyatomic ions)
- Name the cation (positive ion) first, then the anion (negative ion).
- For monatomic cations, use the element name.
- For monatomic anions, use the root of the element name plus the suffix "-ide."
- Examples: Potassium oxide, sodium chloride, magnesium bromide.
Naming Ionic Compounds (with polyatomic ions)
- Use the name of the polyatomic ion instead of the anion.
- Examples: Sodium nitrate (NaNO₃), ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH).
- Examples: ammonium sulfide ((NH₄)₂S), potassium nitrate (KNO₃),
Chemical Formula for Ionic Compounds
- Cations are written before anions.
- Cross multiply the charges to write the formula.
- Divide any common factors to get the simplest formula.
- Example: Magnesium oxide (MgO), Sodium nitrate (NaNO₃)
