What are the steps to determining the chemical formula for ionic compounds?
Write the ions first
look at the charges
balance the charges
When you have 2 predictable ions that are not balanced, how do you balance them?
Swap the charges and place them in the subscripts
How to name a binary compound?
cation (metal) anion (nonmetal) replace the ending with -ide

In Ionic formulas
Acids always start with
a Hydrogen
When naming acids that end in -Ide, add _____ to the beginning and change the ending to
Hydro
-Ic
my rIDE has HYDROlICs
When naming acids that end in -ate change the ending to
-ic
I ATE something ICky
When naming acids that end in -ite change the ending to
-ous
sprITE is deliciOUS
Main group elements bond in such a way that each atom has ______
8 electrons
In Ionic bonds, electrons are
given and taken
In covalent bonds, electrons are
shared between the two
Metals have low ionization energies and want to form
cations. They want to give up their electrons to become more stable
nonmentals have negative electron affinities and want to form
anions. They want to add electrons to become more stable
What are polar covalent bonds?
electrons are not shared equally with the electron density residing towards the more electronegative atom.
What are nonpolar covalent bonds?
electrons are essentially shared equally between the atoms
what does a high electronegativity mean?
high electron affinity
What are the nonpolar covalent bond examples?
carbon-hydrogen
carbon-carbon
bonds with 2 of the same atoms
i.e. hydrogen-hydrogen
