 Write ionic formulae of ions

 Construct chemical formulae of ionic
compounds
 Write ionic formulae of ions
 How can we write an ionic formulae of ion?
 Example 1:

Calcium (Ca) with proton number= 20

2.8.8.2 calcium ion 2.8.8 after
donating two electron
Orange dots=

 How can we write an ionic formulae
of ion?
1. Determine the proton number
Ca=20
2. Draw the orbital of the atom (below)
First orbital=maximum 2 e-
Second and third orbital=maximum 8 e-
Fourth orbital= 2 e-

2.8.8.2

Orbital

3. 2 e- valence at the fourth orbital removed to
formed octet configuration ( stable form)

Octet configuration.
Stable form

2.8.8
 Example 2:
Chloride (Cl) with proton number= 17

2.8.7 Chloride ion 2.8.8

Green dots= After one electron
electron valence withdrawal

An anion has

 How about Magnesium and Oxygen.
Can you show the formation of the ion
using the electron orbital and electron
configuration?
 12Mg and 8O
 Construct chemical formulae
of ionic compounds
 An ionic compound is a compound yield from
the withdraw and donating electron valence
between earth metals and non-metals
 Atom calcium will donate 1 electron valence
to atom chloride to yield sodium chloride or
NaCl
 Example:

Na + Cl NaCl
 Let us construct chemical formulae
of ionic compounds
Na + Cl NaCl

Sodium Chloride Sodium chloride

 State names of chemical
compound using IUPAC
nomenclature
Steps on using IUPAC nomenclature:
1)The cation names followed by anion name
Example:
Sodium chloride for NaCl

cation anion
2) The cation name ends with –ium
The anion name ends with –ate or –ide
Example:
Potassium (K) Potassium ion (K+)
Chlorine (Cl) Chloride ion (Cl-)

 What is the name for KCl and MgCl2?

 Steps on naming a KCl

1) The cation names followed by anion

name
2) The cation name ends with –ium
The anion name ends with –ate or –ide

Potassium ion (K+) Chloride ion (Cl-)

Potassium Chloride
 Steps on naming a MgCl2

1) The cation names followed by anion

name
2) The cation name ends with –ium
The anion name ends with –ate or –ide

Magnesium ion (Mg2+) 2 Chloride ion (Cl-)

Magnesium Chloride
