Ch 7: Ionic Bonding
Formula Writing
My Name is Bond. Ionic Bond. Taken NOT shared
Review
1) Why do atoms come together?
2) What types of atoms form an ionic bond?
3) What is the relationship between ionic
bonding and electronegativity?
4) What happens to the electrons in an ionic
bond?
Review Answers
1) Atoms come together to achieve stability by
filling their valence shells.
2) A metal with a nonmetal
3) Ionic bonds form between atoms with a huge
difference in electronegativity:
4) One atom is so much stronger (more
electronegativity), it TAKES the electrons
2 Types of Ions
• Cation = a positively charged ion (lost e-)
– Less electroneg./metal
• Anion = a negatively charged ion (gained e-)
– More electroneg. /nonmetal
Monatomic Ions
• “Mono” = One
• “Atomic” = Atom
• Monatomic Ion: An ion in which a single atom
has a positive or negative charge
Charge and the Periodic Table
Transition Metals
• Have multiple charges
• Positive charge (Cations)
• Their charge is indicated by the Roman
Numeral following their name
– Iron (II) = Fe+2
– Iron (III) = Fe+3

Polyatomic Ions
• “Poly” = Many
• “Atomic” = Atom
• An ion containing more than one atom that
has collectively lost or gained electrons
• Ex. NO3-1
Ionic Compounds
• Attraction between cation and anion
• The cation is always written first and gets to
keep his name
• Subscripts = the number of IONS in the
formula. Use ( ) for polyatomic ions.
• Overall charge of the compound is zero

Nomenclature
• Nomenclature = Naming
• An ionic bond has 2 ions (a cation and an
anion) so its name will always have 2 parts.
Rules for Naming Ionic Compounds
• The metal cation is always written first
• The metal cation gets to keep its name
– Ex. Na = Sodium
– Ex. Ca = Calcium
• ONE EXCEPTION: One polyatomic cation =
ammonium (NH4+)
Rules for Naming
• Transition metals need a Roman Numeral
– Ex. CuO
– Ex. Cu2O
Rules for Naming
• A Monatomic anion will keep its name but the
ending is changed to “ide”
– Ex. Cl-1 = Chloride
– Ex. O-2 = Oxide
– Ex. N-3 = Nitride
• A polyatomic anion will end in “ate,” “ite” etc.
