| anion | negatively charged ion Forms when an atom gains electrons |
| ionic bonds and Lattices | When positive and negative charges are near each other there is an attractive force described by Coulomb’s Law |
| Empirical formula | Gives the smallest whole number ratio of ions or atoms in the compound The smallest number of ions necessary to form a compound is a formula unit |
| Predicting formulas for ionic compounds | To form a neutral ionic compound the positive and negative charges of the cation and anion must be equal. |
| Hydrates | An ionic compound that has water molecules trapped in the crystal lattice is a hydrate. |
| covalent compounds | Form when two or more atoms share electrons to form bonds Water, H2O, is an example of a covalent compound. Molecular formulas are used to represent covalent compounds Molecular formulas provide the actual number of atoms in the molecule |
| Binary covalent compounds | Binary Covalent Compounds Contain atoms from two different elements Named the same way as ionic compounds Use the full name of the first atom and the stem name of the second atom with suffix -ide Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms present |
