 Metals and Nonmetals
• Stairway Of Division on Periodic Table
• C, P, Se, I, Rn and to the right are non- metals
• B, Si, As, Ge, Sb, Te, Po, At are semi- metals
• All others are metals

 TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
• Ionic Compounds
• composed of positive and
negative ions.
• usually formed from a metal and
non-metal.
• these elements are not attached
to one another.
 TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
• Ionic Compounds con’t
• Examples
NaCl
CaBr2
KI
 CHEMICAL FORMULAS
• Definition
• shows the kind and numbers of
atoms in the smallest
representative unit of the
substance.
• i. e.
NaCl
 IONIC COMPOUNDS
• A formula unit is the lowest whole
number ratio of ions in an ionic
compound.
• i.e. Na2Cl2 -> NaCl
• There is no such thing as a
molecule of NaCl!!!!!!!!!
 IONIC COMPOUNDS
• If charges cancel, just write the symbols
Na+1 Cl-1 NaCl
• If charges do not cancel, criss-cross:
Ca+2 Cl-1 CaCl2
***Do not move the charge, only the
number
***Do not write the 1
NAMING COMPOUNDS
• Your ability to name compounds
and write formula’s hinges on
your ability to recognize whether
a compound is Ionic or Molecular.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
• Binary means 2 elements
• Ionic means a metal and a non-
metal (or cation and anion)
• Writing Formulas
• charges must balance so
compound charge is neutral.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS

• Writing Formulas from Names

• 1st word = CATION
• 2nd word = ANION name
with ide ending.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS

• NaBr • Sodium
Bromide
• MgF2 • Magnesium
Fluoride
