Identifying Ionic Compounds

An ionic compound formula has no overall charge.

Naming compounds

Ionic compounds made from 2 different elements end in -ide.
Ionic compounds made from 3 or more different elements end in -ate.

Compound formulae

Potassium forms K⁺ and oxygen forms O^2-.
We need 2 potassium ions (K+) to cancel out the 2- charge to the oxygen. Therefore, the formula becomes K₂O.

Brackets

When there are multiple groups of atoms, we must use brackets.
Calcium forms a Ca²⁺ ion, and a nitrate ion that has the formula NO₃^-.
We need two nitrate ions to cancel out the 2+ charge to the calcium.
Therefore, calcium nitrate has a formula Ca(NO₃)₂.
