1 Formulas of Ionic Compounds

2 An ionic compound is a compounds composed of ions. They tend to be combinations of metals and nonmetals. CuSO 4

3 Formulas of Ionic Compounds: Formulas for ionic compounds can be written by the following steps:

4 Formulas of Ionic Compounds: Formulas for ionic compounds can be written by the following steps: (1) Write the formula for the cation and anion (Don’t forget to include the charge of each ion).

5 Formulas of Ionic Compounds: Formulas for ionic compounds can be written by the following steps: (1) Write the formula for the cation and anion (Don’t forget to include the charge of each ion). (2) Decide how many cations and anions are needed so that the sum of their charges balances out to be zero.

6 Formulas of Ionic Compounds: Formulas for ionic compounds can be written by the following steps: (1) Write the formula for the cation and anion (Don’t forget to include the charge of each ion). (2) Decide how many cations and anions are needed so that the sum of their charges balances out to be zero. (3) Write the formula of the compound by writing the number of cations followed by the number of anions which you used in step #2. Remember not to include the charges of the ions since now they balance out to be neutral. (*Note when using more than one polyatomic ion the polyatomic ion must be written in parentheses).
