Ionic Formulas
Turning chemistry into algebra
REVIEW
• We can tell how many electrons an atom will
gain or lose by looking at its valence electrons.
• Metals like to lose electrons. (Cations)
– Ex. Na +
• Nonmetals like to gain electrons. (Anions)
– Ex: O 2-
• All elements try to have a full valence of 8
electrons(OCTET RULE).
REVIEW
• Cation- is a positively charged ion.
• How do cations form?
– When atoms LOSE electrons they become
positive.
• Anion- is a negatively charged ion.
• How do anions form?
– When atoms GAIN electrons they become
negative.
Chemical Bonding
A chemical bond is the force of attraction
that holds two atoms together.

Attractive Force
Why do elements form chemical
bonds?
Atoms form chemical bonds in order to
fill their outermost energy level with
electrons.
• A full valence causes an atom to be more
stable.
•A full valence consists of 8 valence electrons.
Ionic Bonding
Ionic bonds: Metal atoms transfer
electrons to nonmetal atoms. Producing
oppositely charged ions (cation & anion)
which attract each other.
