Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, students
should be able to:

» Write the correct formula for an ionic compound;


» Recognize polyatomic ions in chemical formulas;
» Use the rules for naming ionic compounds;
» Know the name of a simple molecular compound
from its chemical formula; and
» Determine the name of acids.

Formulas of Ionic Compounds
» In the solid state, ionic compounds
are in crystal lattice containing
many ions each of the cation and
anion.
» An ionic formula, is an empirical
formula.
» Because the overall compound must be
electrically neutral, it is important to know how
many of each ion is needed in order for the
positive and negative charges to cancel each
other out.

Rules in Writing Formulas
In writing the correct formula for an ionic
compound, crisscross method is used.
1. Write the symbol and charge of the cation (metal) first
and the anion (nonmetal) second.
2. Transpose only the number of the positive charge to
become the subscript of the anion and the number only
of the negative charge to become the subscript of the
cation.
3. Reduce to the lowest ratio.
4. Write the final formula. Leave out all subscripts that
are 1. If the subscript of the polyatomic ion is greater
than one, enclose in parentheses the polyatomic ion
before writing the subscript.
