Binary Ionic Compounds
- In binary ionic compounds, the metal ion is always written first, followed by the nonmetal ion.
- The charge of a nonmetal in a binary ionic compound is determined by its group number in the Periodic Table: -2 for Group 16, -1 for Group 17.
- Metals in Groups 1, 2, and 3 of the Periodic Table always have a charge of +1, +2, and +3, respectively.
- Transition metals can have more than one possible charge in a binary ionic compound.
- Nonmetals in binary ionic compounds are named using their Latin root, with the suffix -ide added.
