Rules For Writing Ionic


1. Cation givenFormulas
first in formula
2. Subscripts in formula must produce
electrically neutral formula unit
3. Subscripts must be smallest whole
numbers possible

Divide by 2 if all subscripts are even

May have to repeat several times

4. Charges on ions not included in finished


formula unit of substance

If no subscript, then 1 implied

Determining Ionic Formulas


Ex. Formula of ionic compound formed
when magnesium reacts with oxygen
Mg is group 2A
Forms +2 ion or Mg2+
O is group 6A
Forms 2 ion or O2
To get electrically neutral particle need
1:1 ratio of Mg2+ & O2

Formula: MgO

Determining Ionic Formulas


Criss-cross rule
Make magnitude of charge on one ion
into subscript for other
When doing this, make sure that
subscripts are reduced to lowest whole
number.
