  • Formulae and equations
    • Atoms of metals on the left of the periodic table lose electrons to form cations
      • Copper (II)- Cu2+
      • Iron (III)- Fe3+
    • Atoms of non-metals on the right of the periodic table gain electrons to form anions
      • Chlorine- Cl-
    • Binary compound
      • Contains two elements only
      • In ionic compounds is named- metal nonmetalide
    • Polyatomic ions
      • Ammonium- NH4+

      • Sulphate- SO4 2-
      • Sulphite- SO3 2-
      • Dichromate- Cr2O7 2-
      • Phosphate- PO4 3-
      • Brackets are used if there is more than one polyatomic ion
    • Formulae of ionic compounds
      • Overall charge is 0
      • Sum of positive charges= sum of negative charges
      • Covalent compounds do not contain ions, they consist of small molecules bonded together

          • H2
          • O2
          • F2
          • N2

          • Br2
          • I2
          • P4
          • S8
          • Exist as small molecules

    • Balancing  Equations
      • Do not change chemical formulae
      • Balancing numbers go in front
      • make the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation
      • Balancing brackets means everything is multiplied
