Ions Cation: A positive ion Mg2+, NH4+ Anion: A negative ion
Cl−, SO42−
3
Predicting Ionic Charges
Group 1: Lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions H+ Li+ Na+ K+
4
Predicting Ionic Charges
Group 2: Loses 2 electrons to form 2+ ions Be2+ Mg2+ Ca2+ Sr2+ Ba2+
5
Predicting Ionic Charges
Loses 3 electrons to form 3+ ions Group 13: B3+ Al3+ Ga3+
6
Predicting Ionic Charges
Lose 4 electrons or gain 4 electrons? Group 14: Neither! Group 14 elements rarely form ions.
7
Predicting Ionic Charges
Nitride Gains 3 electrons to form 3- ions Group 15: Phosphide P3- As3- Arsenide
8
Predicting Ionic Charges
Oxide Gains 2 electrons to form 2- ions Group 16: S2- Sulfide Se2- Selenide
9
Predicting Ionic Charges
Group 17: Gains 1 electron to form 1- ions F1- Fluoride Cl1- Chloride Br1- Bromide I1- Iodide
10
Predicting Ionic Charges
Group 18: Stable Noble gases do not form ions!
11
Predicting Ionic Charges
Many transition elements have more than one possible oxidation state. Groups : Iron(II) = Fe2+ Iron(III) = Fe3+
12
Predicting Ionic Charges
Some transition elements have only one possible oxidation state. Groups : Zinc = Zn2+ Silver = Ag+

Writing Ionic Compound Formulas
Example: Barium nitrate 1. Write the formulas for the cation and anion, including CHARGES! 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges , if necessary, using subscripts. Use parentheses if you need more than one of a polyatomic ion. Ba2+ ( ) NO3- 2 Not balanced!
14
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas
Example: Ammonium sulfate 1. Write the formulas for the cation and anion, including CHARGES! 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges , if necessary, using subscripts. Use parentheses if you need more than one of a polyatomic ion. ( ) NH4+ SO42- 2 Not balanced!
15
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas
Example: Iron(III) chloride 1. Write the formulas for the cation and anion, including CHARGES! 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges , if necessary, using subscripts. Use parentheses if you need more than one of a polyatomic ion. Fe3+ Cl- 3 Not balanced!

Writing Ionic Compound Formulas
Example: Aluminum phosphate 1. Write the formulas for the cation and anion, including CHARGES! 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. Al3+ PO43- They ARE balanced!
20
Naming Ionic Compounds
Cation first, then anion Monatomic cation = name of the element Ca2+ = calcium ion Monatomic anion = root + -ide Cl− = chloride CaCl2 = calcium chloride
21
Naming Ionic Compounds (continued)
Metals with multiple oxidation states some metal forms more than one cation use Roman numeral in name PbCl2 Pb2+ is cation PbCl2 = lead(II) chloride
