Formation of Ionic Compounds
TEXT: p. 188-189 (how elements form compounds)
p. 192 (ionic compounds)
Formation of Ions
Remember:
Noble gases have full valence energy levels and are unreactive.
They are not found in compounds in nature.
To become stable and achieve a noble gas configuration,
atoms will lose or gain electrons
to form simple ions (consisting of only 1 charged atom).
- Metals – always lose electrons to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration forming
CATIONS
o Alkali metals will lose 1 electron to become 1+
o Alkaline earth metals will lose 2 electrons to become 2+
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 4 of 23
- Non-Metals – Always gain electrons to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration
forming ANIONS.
o Halogens gain 1 electron to become 1-
o Group 16 gain 2 electrons to become 2-
o Group 15 gain 3 electrons to become 3-
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 5 of 23
Ions Forming Compounds
Remember:
Ionic compounds are always formed from a metal and a non-metal
because of the attraction of opposite charges.
Negative cations attract positive anions to form an ionic bond.
When metals and non-metals form compounds the charges attract each other in such a way
that the overall charge for the compound is ZERO.
Example: LiF
Example: LiCl
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 6 of 23
What about when the charges don’t balance?
MgF2
In addition, to indicate the number of each ion in the compound a subscript is used
(except when there is only 1 ion, and then no subscript is used)
Example: Mg and O forming an ionic bond
Example: Ca and Cl forming an ionic bond
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 7 of 23
Conclusion: The charges must always balance!
Remember:
To name simple ionic compounds name the metal
and then the non-metal ending in ‘ide’.
Naming Ionic Compounds
TEXT p. 192-194 (ionic compounds)
Step 1:
Write the name of the metallic ion (cation) first.
Step 2:
Write the name of the non-metallic ion (anion) second adding the ‘ide’ ending.
No need to worry about the subscripts here!
Examples
LiBr
CaCl2
Writing Formulas from Names
Step 1:
Determine the chemical symbol for the metallic ion (cation) and ALSO the charge on this ion
(read it from the periodic table).
Step 2:
Determine the chemical symbol for the non-metallic ion (anion) and ALSO the charge on this
ion (you know where to find it!).
Step 3:
Use the Criss Cross Rule to determine the subscripts in the chemical formula (balance the
charges)
DO NOT include the charges in the formula!
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 8 of 23
Examples
Important Points to Remember!
The subscript 1 is NEVER written (always understood when no subscript is written)
When subscripts are divisible by the same number you must REDUCE them. (remember –
a formula unit is always an empirical formula)
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 9 of 23
Formation of Molecular Compounds
TEXT: p. 189 (chemical formulas and composition of compounds)
p. 201-202 (molecular compounds)
When Two Non-Metals Bond
Covalent bond
- A shared pair of electrons held between two non-metal atoms that hold the atoms
together in a molecule.
- Non-metal atoms will share electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
Example:
Cl2
Example:
Cl and C
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 10 of 23
Example:
N and F
Many non-metallic elements exist as covalently bonded molecules – diatomic molecules.
- Rule of 7 (shape of a seven on the periodic table)
o Hydrogen H2
o Nitrogen N2
o Oxygen O2
o Fluorine F2
o Chlorine Cl2
o Bromine Br2
o Iodine I2
- Also:
o Phosphorus P4
o Sulfur S8
Naming Molecular Compounds
TEXT: p. 203-204
Writing Names from Formulas
Step 1:
Identify the first non-metal element in the compound and write the chemical name for it.
Step 2:
Determine the prefix to use for the first element by looking at its subscript and using the table
below:
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 11 of 23
If there is no subscript then you DO NOT need to use mono- for the first atom in compound!!
Step 3:
Write the name of the second non-metal element in the compound and change the ending to
‘ide’.
Step 4:
Determine the prefix of the second element by looking at its subscript and using the table
below.
Examples
CO2
P4O10
Writing Formulas from Names
Step 1:
Determine the chemical symbol for each element in the compound.
Step 2:
Determine the subscript for each element by looking at the prefix used for each atom.
Examples
Dinitrogen tetraoxide
Carbon monoxide

IONIC COMPOUNDS CONTAINING POLYATOMIC IONS
Writing Formulas from Names (containing polyatomic ions)
TEXT: p. 196-198 (polyatomic ions)
Polyatomic ion - A group of atoms that tend to stay together and carry and overall charge.
- They do not dissociate (separate) when dissolving,
- Common ones are listed on the back of your periodic table (including their charges)
Writing formulas is similar to that for simple ionic compounds.
Step 1: Write the chemical symbols (from the periodic table)
Step 2: Include the charges (from the periodic table)
Step 3: Charges must be balanced to determine subscripts. The Criss Cross Rule can be
used!
However:
When there are 2 or more polyatomic ions in compound,
brackets () must be used to indicate
that the subscript is for the entire polyatomic ion
and not just the last atom of the polyatomic ion.
Examples:
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 13 of 23
OTHER EXAMPLES:
To Conclude!
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 14 of 23
Writing Names from Formulas (containing polyatomic ions)
Step 1:
Recognize that a polyatomic ion is involved. You should check the back of your periodic table
for the polyatomic ion. Look carefully!
Step 2:
Name the cation (positive metallic ion).
Step 3:
Name the anion (in this case, the polyatomic ion) – use the ending given in the table.
No need to change it to ‘ide’. Just write it like you see it on the back of the periodic table!!
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 15 of 23
Writing Formulas from Names (containing multivalent ions) TEXT: p. 195 (atoms with more than one ionic charge)
Multivalent ion
- Some metal atoms can form more than one ion with different charges.
- You will see these possible charges in the top right of an atom’s place in the periodic
table – no need to memorize!
- The specific multivalent ion in a compound will thereby determine the subscripts as
charges must be balanced.
- Example: Copper can form a Cu+ ion or a Cu 2+ ion.
Step 1:
Notice that when a multivalent ion forms a compound the charge of the ion is indicated by a
Roman numeral in brackets after the metal ion – again – no guessing required!
Example: copper (I) oxide
Write the symbol for the cation (metal ion) with the charge (indicated in brackets)
Step 2:
Write the symbol for the anion (non metal ion) and its charge
Step 3:
Use the Criss Cross Rule to balance the charges and determine the subscripts.
Another example:
mercury (II) phosphate
tin (II) carbonate
lead (II) chromate
copper (I) sulfite
iron (III) nitrate
Writing Names from Formulas (containing multivalent ions)
Step 1:
Recognize that there is a multivalent ion in the compound – you can double check with your
periodic table.
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 16 of 23
Step 2:
Write the symbol for the multivalent cation with BOTH of its charges.
Step 3:
Write the symbol for the anion and its charge.
For this next part you MUST pay attention to the subscripts in the chemical formula!
Step 4:
First, calculate the total negative charge in the compound by multiplying the anion’s charge by
the anion’s subscript.
Step 5:
Next, calculate BOTH total possible positive charges by multiplying the cation’s subscript by the
cation’s charges.
Step 6:
Determine which cation charge balances the total positive charge in the compound.
Step 7:
Write the name of the cation followed by the charge (in Roman Numerals in brackets) and then
the name of the anion.
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 17 of 23
As in ALL ionic compounds:
The positive and negative charges must ALWAYS balance.
Examples:
Cu2S
HgF2
Sn(NO3)2
FePO4
Ni(CH3COO)2
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 18 of 23
Writing Names from Formulas (Hydrates)
TEXT: p. 236 (definition)
Hydrate
- A solid compound that contains water molecules as a part of the solid crystalline
structure.
Naming a hydrate involves 2 steps:
Step 1:
Name the ionic part following all the same rules previously learned.
Step 2:
Indicate the number of water molecules using the same prefixes as for molecular compounds.
Attach the prefix to the word ‘hydrate’.

Acids and Bases
TEXT p. 288-290 (acids and bases)
p. 293-294 (properties of acids and bases)
p. 295 (formulas for acids and bases)
Acids
- Special hydrogen containing compounds that undergo ionization when dissolved in
water to produce H+ ions.
Some everyday acids:
- Lemon juice
- Vinegar
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
- Battery acid
Properties of acids:
- Highly reactive with metals to produce hydrogen gas - H2(g)
- Sour tasting (Never taste anything in the lab!)
- May be solid, liquid or gas at room temperature
- Soluble in water (like ionic compounds)
- Form electrolytic solutions (conduct electricity - they are electrolytes)
- Form solutions that turn blue litmus paper to red (B RA)
Science 1206 Unit 2: Chemical Reactions Pt 1 Page 20 of 23
Writing Acid Names form Formulas (and vice versa)
Generally acidic compounds are named as ionic compounds AND
converted to the acid name according to the following:
3 Acid Naming Rules Rule #1: hydrogen ________ide becomes hydro______ic acid
Acid formula ionic name would be acid name
ex: HCl(aq) hydrogen chloride hydrochloric acid
1. _____________________ hydrogen bromide _______________________
2. HCN(aq) __________________________ _______________________
3. _____________________ __________________________ hydrofluoric acid
Rule #2: hydrogen________ate becomes ________ic acid
Acid formula ionic name would be acid name
ex: HClO3(aq) hydrogen chlorate chloric acid
1. _____________________ hydrogen borate _______________________
2. HNO3(aq) __________________________ _______________________
3. _____________________ __________________________ permanganic acid
Rule #3: hydrogen________ite becomes ________ous acid
Acid formula ionic name would be acid name
ex: HNO2(aq) hydrogen nitrite nitrous acid
1. _____________________ hydrogen chlorite ________________________
2. HClO(aq) ___________________________ ________________________
3. _____________________ ___________________________ sulfurous acid
NOTE:
when naming acids with the root words “sulf” and “phosph”, extra syllables are added to make them sound better.
Add “ur” to “sulf” and add “or” to “phosph”. therefore H2SO4(aq) is sulfuric acid NOT sulfic acid
and H3PO4(aq) is phosphoric acid NOT phosphic acid

- May also be described as alkaline
- Form solutions that turn red litmus paper blue (RB)
Writing Names and Formulas for Bases
A base is an ionic compound that contains the hydroxide ion (on the back of your
periodic table)
Naming and formula writing will follow all the rules for ionic compounds and polyatomic
ions.
Examples:
NaOH calcium hydroxide
Mg(OH)2 potassium hydroxide
LiOH beryllium hydroxide

Neutralization reaction
- Mixing an acid with a base (or vice versa)
to temper (reduce) the effects of one or the other
- Products are water and a salt
A Salt
