Forming Ionic Compounds (Simple)
Mg+2 Cross Over Method Mg 12p+ +12 10e- -10 +2 2 valance e- Wants to lose 2 e- to achieve full octet If Mg loses 2 e- now has 12p+ and 10e- Mg+2 12p+ 10e- +12 -10 +2
F-1 Cross Over Method F 9p+ +9 10e- -10 -1 7 valance e- Wants to gain 1e- to achieve full octet If F gains 1 e- now has 9p+ and 10e- F-1 9p+ 10e- +9 -10 -1
Mg+2 F-1 Mg1F2 Do not have to show “1”
+2 F -1 Mg 1 2 Do not have to show “1” MgF2
Examples: Al+3 S-2 Al2S3
Ca+2 O-2 Ca2O2 Ca1O1
Naming Ionic Compounds
Naming Ionic Compounds RULE: Metal Name + Non-Metal Name (modified ide ending) Examples: CaCl2 Calcium Chloride MgO Magnesium Oxide Na2S Sodium Sulfide Ignore the subscripts!
