Lesson 21: Salty Eights Formulas for Ionic Compounds
ChemCatalyst Find these cards in Your Salty Eights card deck. 1. List the ionic compounds you can make with pairs of cards, using two different elements. 2. List the ionic compounds you can make with three cards and only two different elements. 3. What rule must all these compounds satisfy?
Key Question How can you predict chemical formulas and name ionic compounds?
You will be able to: use valence electrons to predict ionic compounds develop proficiency at naming binary ionic compounds and writing their chemical formulas
Prepare for the Activity Work in groups of four.
Discussion Notes In general, atoms come together to form an ionic compound if the number of valence electrons totals 8 or a multiple of 8.
Discussion Notes (cont.) Writing correct chemical formulas is a matter of keeping track of exactly how many atoms come together to make a compound. Creating correct chemical names is a matter of remembering some basic guidelines.
Wrap Up How can you predict chemical formulas and name ionic compounds? Ionic compounds tend to form from atoms that together have a total of 8 (or a multiple of 8) electrons in their outermost (valence) shells. Noble gases already have eight valence electrons and don t combine with other elements to make new compounds. They are already highly stable.
Check-In Which of these compounds are likely to form? a. Na2S d. Na3N b. K2Mg c. AlBr2 e. OCl f. CaO
