Ionic Bonding Naming Salts

Ionic Bonds An ionic bond is a very strong attraction between a positive cation and a negative anion. + Na Cl -

Crystal Lattice Structure The ions organize themselves in a pattern of alternating charge called a crystal lattice. The strong attractions cause ionic compounds (salts) to have high melting and boiling points.

Balancing Charges For most compounds to be stable, they must have a neutral overall charge. 2+ Mg 2 S If necessary, add ions to balance charges. 2+ Mg 1 F 1 F

Chemical Formulas Once bound as a salt, write the elements with the cation then anion symbols and no spaces or charges. 2+ Mg + 2 S → Mg. S

Coefficients and Subscripts If a compound requires more than one ion, you write a subscript after the element. 2+ Mg + 11 F +F → Mg. F 2 Coefficients indicate that you must multiply the species by that number. 2+ Mg + 2 F → Mg. F 2

Cross-Balancing Charges For compounds that have multiples of each atom, you can cross the charges as coefficients (then subscripts). 3+ Al + 3+ 2 Al 2 O + →? 23 O → Al 2 O 3
