INTRODUCTION

Remember: The whole purpose of bonding is to achieve atomic stability by having a full outer level of electrons. Eight (8) electrons are a complete outer level for many elements. However, the first level is considered full with just 2 electrons.

Cation and Anion Review

Metals, which make up most of the periodic table, will lose their electrons and become cations.

Nonmetals, elements on the right side of the periodic table (and H), will gain electrons and become anions.

How to write and name ionic bonds

© 2023 Donegan Games

Writing ionic bond formulas

Oxidation numbers

The number of electrons an atom will gain, lose, or share to become stable. Written as a superscript for the ion, it will become when stable.

Ex: Lithium has 1 valence electron. If it loses that electron, it will become stable. However, it will have 3 protons (+) and only 2 electrons (-). Therefore, lithium's oxidation number would look like this:Li+1

The password is lithium's oxidation number.

How to use oxidation numbers to write formlulas

1. Write the oxidation number for each element that is bonding. 2. Drop the charges. 3. Criss-Cross the numbers from the superscript to the subscript to get the correct formula.

+INFO

Use oxidation numbers to write the formula for Ca and Cl bonding

Capitalize first letter and add a number

Let's try another one! What is the formula for Mg and P to form an ionic bond?

© 2023 Donegan GAMES

Write the formula for Mg and P (the numbers will not be a subscript).

Capitalize first letter and add numbers

How to write the names of ionic bonds

1. write the positive metal (cation) first 2. Write the root word of the Negative nonmetal (anion). 3. Add an -ide as a suffix (at the end) of the root word. This shows that it is part of a chemical bond.
