Document Summary

Chemical formula: element symbols and numerical subscripts show the type and number of each atom in the smallest unit of the substance. In general, if the m of a binary ionic compound is a main-group element (a. Groups) it usually forms a single type of ion; if it is a transition element (b groups), it often forms more than one ion. B/c an ionic compound consists of an array of ions rather than separate molecules, its formula represents the formula unit, the relative #s of cations and anions in the compound. The compound has 0 net charges, so +ve charges of cations balance ve charges of anions. E. g. calcium bromide is composed of ca2+ ions and br- ions, so 2 br- balance each ca2+. Compounds of metals that form more than one ion. Transition elements (b groups) can form more than one ion.
