Ionic compounds ionic bond
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the
electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. It is much
stronger than covalent bonds (which are present in covalent
compounds). That’s why ionic compounds have higher melting and
boiling point.

Names of the ions
• Cations
Na+ = sodium ion
Exception: Transition metals have more than one charges
Fe2+= iron(II) ion, Fe3+= iron(III) ion
• Anions
Cl-= chloride ion
Exception: Some anions have special names. Figure 4.4
P3-= phosphide ion
Chemical formula of ionic compounds
Question: What is the chemical formula of magnesium chloride?
Answer:
Step 1: Find magnesium and chlorine in the periodic table and write
them as ions.
Mg2+ and Cl-
Step 2: In order to have a neutral ionic compound, find out the ratio
between these ions.
The ratio between Mg2+ and Cl- is 1:2.
The chemical formula of magnesium chloride is MgCl2

Summary
• An ionic bond is formed between the ions in an ionic lattice. The ionic bond is
a strong bond, therefore salts have higher boiling and melting points than
molecular substances.
• A single ion is a charged particle that consists of one type of atom. If there are
several electrovalencies of an atom, you use a Roman numeral to indicate the
charge.
• A compound ion is a charged particle that consists of several types of atoms.
• The systematic name of a salt is obtained by taking the name of the positive
ion first, followed by the name of the negative ion.
• The formula of a salt is expressed in a ratio formula, in which the ions occur in
such a ratio that the salt is electrically neutral.
