The table shows the names and formulae of some common ions.

An Ionic bond is formed when one of the atoms can donate electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration and the other atom needs electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration.

The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called ionic bond. It is also known as electrovalent bond. And the compounds containing ionic bonds are called ionic ...

The formula of an ionic compound can be deduced from the formulae of its ions. Remember that for the metal elements in groups 1, 2, and 3 the charge on the ion can be deduced by how many outer shell ...

In chemistry, the chemical nomenclature of ionic and molecular compounds uses a systematic approach of prefixes to indicate ...
