How do you write the formula for ternary ionic compounds?

To write the formula for a ternary ionic compound, determine the charges of the ions involved. The charge of the cation becomes the subscript for the anion, and vice versa. Balance the charges to ensure overall neutrality in the compound. Remember to use parentheses when needed for polyatomic ions.


What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a teranry ionic compound?

No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.

How are formula written for ternary ionic compound given their names?

To write the formula for a ternary ionic compound given its name, you need to determine the charges of the ions involved. The total positive charge from the cations must equal the total negative charge from the anions to create a neutral compound. Use the criss-cross method by swapping the numerical charges to become subscripts. Be sure to simplify the ratio of ions to its lowest whole numbers.
