You can represent the composition of an ionic compound by writing chemical formulas.
The letters surrounded by dots representing the electrons. Around each atom, youd put square brackets and then write the charge for example [Cl]- [Na]+ the Cl would have 8 dots, the Na 0. The "-" and "+" would be in superscript (small and top corner of the square bracket) [Mg]2+ s[Cl]- (Mg 0 dots, Cl 8 dots and the 2+ and the - are superscript)
An ionic compound is made up of a mixture of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions).
The overall charges of the two cancel out.
NaCl, made up of Na+ + Cl- ions in a 1 : 1 ratio
However, Aluminium forms a 3+ cation and so needs 3 times as many chloride ions to equal the charges.
AlCl3 --> Al3+ + 3CL-
You can represent the composition of an ionic compound by writing chemical formulas.
They are good conductors as solids.
Yes, it does
Nitrogen and Oxygen are both nonmetals...so no.
An ionic compound is an example of a chemical compound.
A covalent compound, not ionic
Copper(II) sulfide is an ionic compound.
Yes, it does
formula mass can be used for ionic compounds.
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is an ionic halide.
Nitrogen and Oxygen are both nonmetals...so no.
An ionic compound is an example of a chemical compound.
No Its an ionic compound
A covalent compound, not ionic
Copper(II) sulfide is an ionic compound.
No, like all sodium (Na) compound it is ionic.
The suffix "-ide" is used in the part of the name that represents the anion in a binary ionic compound. For example, chloride, oxide, and sulfide are examples of anions that form binary ionic compounds.
Is ionic
