Questions?
B+3 Cl-1
B Cl1 3
• Boron (B+3) + Chlorine (Cl-1) boron chloride
You can also determine the formula for a compound using the “criss-cross” method. Take the numbers from the ions’ superscripts and cross them to become the subscripts in the compound. Look at question #1.
13
BCl3
Mg+2 N-32 3
Mg N3 2
• Magnesium (Mg2+) + Nitrogen (N-3) Magnesium nitride
• Look at #15 to practice the “criss-cross” method again.
Mg3N2
K+1 (SO4)-21 2
K (SO4)
• Potassium (K+1) + Sulfate (SO4-2) potassium sulfate
• This also works for polyatomic ions.
K2SO4
Parentheses are not used unless a subscript is needed after the polyatomic ion, as you will see in the next example.
Al+3 (SO4)-23 2
Al (SO4)
• Aluminum (Al+3) + Sulfate (SO4-2) aluminum sulfate
• Use parentheses to indicate that more than one of the same polyatomic ion is included in the compound.
Al2(SO4)3
• If the superscript charges add to zero, DO NOT criss-cross. All compounds have a zero charge, so it takes one of each ion to make the compound:
• Ca+2 + O-2 CaO
• B+3 + N-3 BN
(+2 and -2 = 0)
(+3 and -3 = 0)

Key
Notes to Teacher• If you want to have the students cut out the ions themselves, they will
need two copies of the ion sheet to complete the assignment.• In order to save time you may want to try having the students cut out
the ions as homework.• If you are a paper-saving type, you can make class sets of ions (just
one sheet per student since they can reuse ions) and not have the students actually paste them on the answer sheets. Instead, you can:– Have a class set of ions premade and laminated. Put them in
ziploc bags to keep them separate. You can also laminate a class set of answer sheets if you want the students to have a reusable place to work out their solutions.
– Print the ion pages on magnetic paper and cover it with adhesive laminate prior to cutting out the pieces. Then place these sets in ziploc bags. Students can rearrange the ions on whiteboards or cheap cookie tins (which can be purchased at most dollar stores) before writing down their answers.
