 Ionic
Compounds!
● Are compounds that are made up of ions.

● Two element compounds are usually ionic when

one element is a metal and the other is a non-
metal

● These ionsare atoms that gain or lose electrons,

giving them a net positive or negative charge
Charge of an Ion in a Periodic Table
 Group 1A (Alkali Metals) – have one valence electron

Group 2A (Alkaline Earth Metals) – have two valence electrons

 Two Methods in Naming Transition Metals
Stock Method Classic Method
Uses Roman Numerals with Lower charge ends with –ous
Parenthesis Higher chrge ends with –ic
• The name of metals does not change
Ex. Rules of
Calcium (Ca) -> Calcium (Ca+)
Lithium (Li) -> (Li+) Naming
• The name of nonmetals change Ions
Root of element + -ide = name of ions
Ex.
Chlorine (Cl) + electron = Chloride
Bromine (Br) + 2 electrons = Bromide
-it e
-ate Polyatomic Ions
Are group of atoms that behave as unit -ite
and for less oxygen
carry a charge -ate for more oxygen
Chemical
Formula
The shorthand method
used to show the number
of atoms

Crisscross Method
A method wherein the
numerical charge of ion is
crossed over and used as the
subscript of the other ion.
Binary Covalent Compound
Sharing of electrons between two
different nonmetals
Steps in naming Binary
Covalent Compunds
Step 1: write the name of the first
nonmetal
Step 2: Write the name of second metal
changing its ending to –ide
Step 3: Add prefixes to specify how
many of each element are present
 Covalent
Compounds!
● Compounds that are formed through the covalent
compounds

● The atoms share one or more pairs of valence

electrons

● They are also referred to as molecular

compounds
Diatomic Molecules
Molecules composed of only
two atoms
 Ternary Compounds
• Consist of three elements
• Can be classified as Ternary acids and Ternary Salts
Ternary Acids

• Compounds of
hydrogen, oxygen, and
usually nonmetals
• Uses –ous for lower
oxidation state
• Uses –ic for higher
oxidation state
Ternary Salts

• These are compounds

that result from replacing
the hydrogen in a ternary
acid with another ion
• Replaces –ous to –ite
• Replaces –c to –ate
