Chem 2.1A Formation of Ions + 2.1B Formation of Ionic Compounds

im a day behind yikes!

Ionic compounds do not form…

in isolation

What is Sodium Bicarbonate?

NaHCO₃

What is Ammonium?

NH₄⁺

What is Hydroxide?

OH⁻

What is Nitrate?

NO₃⁻

What is Bicarbonate/Hydrogencarbonate?

HCO₃⁻

What is Carbonate?

CO₃²⁻

What is Sulfate?

Phosphate PO4

SO₄²⁻

What is Phosphate?

PO₄³⁻

What are Electrostatic Forces?

ionic bonds

What is ionization and when does it occur?

• electrons transferring between atoms

• occurs when an atom that loses electrons passes them directly to an atom that gains electrons

What is the formal way to describe what an ionic compound is?

ions held together through electrostatic forces

Ionic compounds are neutral because…

there is no net gain or loss of electrons

Summarize Ionic Compounds (in case Mr. Cory asks for the qualities of one)

1. not formed in isolation

2. formed through ionization

3. held together through electrostatic forces

4. neutral
