1. Periodic Table and Ion Formation
Atoms gain and lose electrons to form bonds.
The atoms become electrically charged particles called ions.
Metals lose electrons and become positive ions (cations).
Non-metals gain electrons and become negative ions (anions).

2. Periodic Table and Ion Formation
Atoms gain and lose electrons in an attempt to have the same number of valence electrons (electrons farthest from the nucleus) as the nearest noble gas in the periodic table. ~ ~

8. Forming Compounds
Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from positive ions to negative ions.

9. Forming Compounds (continued)
Ionic bonds are formed between positive ions and negative ions.
Generally, this is a metal (+) and a non-metal (-) ion.
For example, lithium and oxygen form an ionic bond in the compound Li2O. +

11. Names and Formulas of Compounds
Ionic compounds are made up of positive and negative ions.
All of the positive and negative ions organize in a pattern.
Negative-positive attract.
Negative-negative and positive-positive repel.

13. The Chemical Name and Formula of an Ionic Compound
The name of an ionic compound = positive ion + negative ion-ide.
For example, an ionic compound forms between magnesium and oxygen.
The positive ion is the first part of the name, magnesium.
The negative ion forms part of the ending of the name, ox(ygen).
Add -ide to the end of the name to form magnesium oxide.
Magnesium oxide is used as a drying agent.

14. The Chemical Name and Formula of an Ionic Compound
Ionic formulas are based on the ions of the atoms involved.
Remember the naming principles above.
For example, what is the name of Ca3N2?
Ca, the positive ion, is calcium.
N, the negative ion, is nitrogen.
Drop the end of the anion and add -ide.
Magnesium oxide is used as a drying agent.
