1. Naming Ionic and Covalent Compounds
vs.
Ionic Compound
(Transferring of Electrons)
Covalent Compound
(Sharing of Electrons)

2. Key Points!!
-ionic compounds occur between metals and nonmetals or whenever there is the transferring of electrons
-covalent compounds are between nonmetals and nonmetals or metalloids with the sharing of electrons
-in all compounds always change the ending of the second word to –ide:
EXCEPTIONS: When the second element/compound is a polyatomic do not change anything! EXCEPT if ammonium is the first compound then follow original rules.
-when writing the compounds the charges need to balance out
-the elements Aluminum, Zinc, and Silver (transition metals) do NOT include roman numerals (the charges are 3+, 2+, 1+ respectively ALL THE TIME)

3. (For Covalently Bonded Compounds)
Key Points Continued!!
-when naming transition metal compounds, -mono is not used on the first word
-BINARY ACIDS= H + (root) + ic acid
-OXYACIDS= H + polyatimic ion
-ate to –ic
-ite to -ous
