Document Summary

Variable charge: use charge on anion and change balance to calculate charge on metal ion. Writing formulas from the name of an ionic compound: identify cation and anion, balance the charges, write the formula: cation rst, using subscripts from the charge balance. Ammonium (nh4+: adding h+ reduces the negative charge and changes the name, carbonate + h+ = bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate, halogens form 4 polyatomic ions with oxygen, each has a -1 charge. Compounds containing polyatomic ions: same rules of charge balance as those for simple ionic compounds. Atoms of two or more nonmetals share electrons. Valence electrons shared by nonmetal atoms: molecule forms when two or more atoms share electrons. Formation of octets in molecules: in a uorine molecule (f2) each f atom shares one electron to attain an octet. Sharing electrons between atoms of different elements: # of electrons a nonmetal atom shares & # of covalent bonds it forms usually equal to.
