Naming and Examples of Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions. When an element gains or loses electrons, it forms an ion with a positive or negative charge. Ionic compounds are made up of metal and non-metal elements that bond through electrostatic attraction between their ions. Binary ionic compounds contain two elements - the metal ion comes first followed by the non-metal ion with an "-ide" ending in the name. Examples of naming binary ionic compounds include potassium iodide for KI, magnesium chloride for MgCl2, and aluminum oxide for Al2O3.

Ionic Compounds

PLO: I CAN NAME IONIC COMPOUNDS.


You should know…

• Ions: an atom or molecule that has either a


positive/negative charge due to the loss/gain of
electrons.
• Loss of electron(s) = positive charge
• Gain of electron(s) = negative charge
IONIC COMPOUNDS

• Ionic compound: A compound made of oppositely


charged ions.
• Usually made up of two types of elements: a metal & non-
metal.
• Ionic bond: A strong attraction that forms between
oppositely charged ions.
EXAMPLE!!

+ -

Na Cl Na+ Cl-

Sodium atom (Na) Chlorine atom (Cl) Sodium Chloride (NaCl)


Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
• Binary ionic compound: Ionic compound that contains
only two elements.
1. Metal ion (positively charged) comes first.
[Link]-metal ion (negatively charged) comes second.
3. Change ending of the second element to –ide.
Ex) Sodium chloride, magnesium oxide, calcium sulfide.
