Watch the following video about ions: http://bit.ly/YZkOWc
Then, draw a line from each word to its correct definition.
Ion
•
An atom or a group of atoms that
form a charge by gaining or losing
one or more electrons.
Monoatomic Ion
•
An ion that has a positive charge
•
Two or more atoms bonded
together. Can have an overall
charge of positive or negative.
Anion
•
An ion that has a negative charge
Cation
•
An ion consisting of one element
Polyatomic Ion

Ionic Compounds - Vocabulary
• Ionic Bonding – A chemical bond that is due to transfer of electrons
between a cation (metal or H) and an anion (nonmetal).
• Ionic Compounds - A compound composed of positive and negative ions
that are combined in a ratio where the positive and negative charges
cancel out. Overall net charge is zero. The cation is always written first.
• Formula Unit - The formula of an ionic compound that represents the
simplest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.
Writing Formula Units (Formulas) – The Basics
Example: Write the formula when calcium and phosphorus bond.
A. Write each ion
•
The positive ion is always
written first, then the
negative ion.
B. Determine how many of
each ion we need to make
the compound neutral. That
will be their subscripts.
•
Subscripts must be the lowest
whole number ratio.
C. Check your work
•
Make sure that the net charge
of the formula is zero.

Thank You!
• It has been great working with you for Writing Ionic
Compounds! You will use this for the rest of module 3,
module 4 and most of segment 2.
• Please use our other recorded teaching sessions for the
other lessons. Don’t forget that you can use them to
review previous lessons too!
