    The key takeaways are that ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons from metals to non-metals, resulting in oppositely charged ions that bond together. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity well. Molecular and ionic compounds as well as mixtures are discussed.

    The different types of bonds discussed are ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred, and covalent bonds, where electrons are shared. Ionic bonds form ions and result in ionic compounds, while covalent bonds form molecular compounds.

    The steps to name an ionic compound are: 1) Write the symbols of the elements. 2) Write the name of the metal first. 3) Write the non-metal name and change the ending to -ide. 4) Include the charge of any metals that can have multiple charges in Roman numerals in parentheses.

    Naming Ionic
    Compounds
    Miss Elliott, December 2020
    RECALL: Ionic
    Compounds
     Ionic bonds are created when a
    metal loses its electron to a non-
    metal
     This forms ions: a positive ion
    (cation) and a negative ion (anion)
     Ionic Compounds have the
    following properties:
     Solids at room temperature
     Very high melting and boiling
    points
     Good conductors of electricity
     Ionic compounds are ALL salts
    Naming Ionic
    Compounds
    1. Look at the chemical formula. Use
    the periodic table to find the
    element names.
    2. Write the metal’s name first.
    3. Write the non-metal’s name, and
    change the ending to –ide.

    Ex. CaCl2
    4. Find the elements Ca and Cl on the
    periodic table.
    5. The metal name is Calcium.
    6. The non-metal name is Chlorine,
    which is changed to Chloride
    Final chemical name: Calcium Chloride
     NaF

    Let’s Practice:  MgO


    Naming Ionic
    Compounds
     KI
    Balancing Charges
     When elements form ionic compounds, the electrons move
    from the metal to the non-metal
     The charged ions attract other ions of the opposite charge 
    this happens until the charges balance out
     COMPOUND = ELECTRICALLY NEUTRAL  positive charges
    must equal negative charges
     This is how we get chemical formulas of ionic compounds
    Charges of
    Elements
     The periodic table allows us to
    determine charges of elements
    easily
     As we know METALS lose their
    electrons, becoming POSITIVE
    cations
     NON-METALS gain electrons,
    becoming NEGATIVE anions
     Write the charges for each
    group at the top of your
    periodic table (skipping the
    transition metals)
    Let’s Practice:
    Making Ions
     What is the charge of a
    Magnesium ion?

     What is the charge of a Chlorine


    ion?

     What is the charge of an Oxygen


    ion?
    Writing Ionic Chemical Formulas
    What is the chemical formula of magnesium chloride?

    Step 1: Write the symbols of the elements, with the metal on the left-
    hand side and the non-metal on the right-hand side.
    Mg Cl

    Step 2: Add the ionic charge of each ion above the symbol
    +2 -1
    Mg Cl
    Writing Ionic Chemical Formulas

    Step 3: “Criss-Cross” the charges as SUBSCRIPTS on the other element and DROP
    THE SIGNS. In this case:
    Cl
    Total Ionic Charge: +2 + -1 -1
    Mg
    Mg Cl +2 Cl
    Step 4: Rewrite the chemical formula with the new subscripts*. -1
    MgCl2
    *You do not need to write the subscript 1!

    The chemical formula for magnesium chloride = MgCl2


    Let’s Practice: Writing Chemical

     Let’s use our criss cross method!
    +2 -2
    Ca O

    Ca2O2?

    *****Chemical formulas should always be the SIMPLEST ratio!

    Final Formula: CaO


    Naming Ionic Compounds
    with Multiple Charges
     Chemists have discovered that some elements
    have multiple charges or forms
     E.g., Iron = two stable cations  Fe2+ & Fe3+
     These ions are named the same EXCEPT that
    Roman numerals in rounded brackets are used
    to indicate the ionic charge of the metal
     Fe2+ = Iron (II) Ion
     Fe3+ = Iron (III) Ion
     This means that Iron can form two different
    compounds with a particular anion
     E.g., Iron chloride = FeCl2 OR FeCl3  each has
    its own distinct properties
    There are several metals that form multiple
    cations
    Metal Chemical symbol Chemical symbols Names of ions
    of element of ions
    Copper Cu Cu+ & Cu2+ Copper (I) &
    Copper (II)
    Iron Fe Fe2+ & Fe3+ Iron (II) & Iron (III)
    Lead Pb Pb2+ & Pb4+ Lead (II) & Lead
    (IV)
    Naming Ionic Compounds with Multiple
    Charges
     When naming compound with multiple ionic charges, you must
    determine the charge so that you can include it in the name

    Example:
     FeCl2 = Iron (II) Chloride
     FeCl3 = Iron (III) Chloride
    Determining an Unknown Charge
     CuBr2
     You don’t know whether the charge for Copper is +1 or +2, therefore use the REVERSE
    CRISSCROSS to determine

    CuBr2

    Cu2+ Br-
     Therefore, the ionic charge of Copper is 2+
     The name of CuBr2 is Copper (II) Bromide
    Let’s Practice!

     Determine the chemical name of FeCl3

    Fe Cl3

    +3 -1
    Fe Cl

    Iron has a charge of +3. The chemical name is Iron (III) Chloride.
