The Zero-Sum Rule
Step 1: Write the symbols of the elements, with the ________________________________ and the
___________________________________________________.
Step 2: Add the ionic charge of each ion as a superscript by looking up the group # of each ion.
Examples:
Transition Metals:
• Elements with an atomic number of __________________________________
• Transition metals are ____________________- they can often form more than __________________.
E.g. Fe2+ and Fe3+
• It is necessary to ____________________________________ when naming compounds.
