Ionic Formulae LO: Use knowledge of the periodic table to find out what charge an ion has (C) Deduce the formulae of simple ionic compounds (B) Use the Rutherford model of the atom to determine the charge of ions and the formulae for ionic compounds. Starter How many atoms are in each of these compounds ? CuO CuSO 4 C 10 H 22 NH 3 (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4
Whiteboards Draw the atom or the ion……. Fluorine atom Fluorine ion Oxygen atom Oxygen ion Magnesium atom Magnesium ion
Sodium Chloride NaCl Remember that ionic compounds have an EQUAL number of positive and negative charges. Add the charges to the sodium and chloride ions.
Working out the charge. Sulphate SO 4 = -2 Nitrate NO 3 = -1 Carbonate CO 3 = -2
