Most bonds are somewhere in between ionic and CaCh = calcium chloride
covalent.
There are 3 forms of bonding between atoms:? Polyatomic ions
• lonic-complete transfer of 1* or more electrons from Contain more than one atom
one atom to another (one loses the other gains) Can be positive (only one is Ammonium
Covalent=some valence electrons shared between 'NH4+), or negative (lots of them)
atoms Stay together during a chemical reaction.
Metallic - holds atoms of a metal together. Electrons Form ternary (3 elements present) or quaternary
form a common pool called sea of electrons. compounds (4 elements).
Writing a Formula
Write the formula for the ionic compound that will form
between Ba?+ and CI
Splutions
1. Balance charge with + and - ions
2. Write the positive ion of metal first, and the
negative ion
Ba?+
CI
CI
3. Write the number of ions needed as subscripts
BaCl2
Naming Compounds
Binary lonic Compounds
1. Cation first, then anion
2. Monatomic cation = name of theelementCa?* =
calcium ion
3. Monatomic anion = root + -ide
