Sophia: Ionic Compounds: Formulas From Binary Compound Names: Lesson 2

This handout, produced in the UK, contains a chart of cations and anions. It explains how ionic compounds are formed and named. This concise and attractive handout can be helpful as a reference for your chemistry apprentices.

This is not a worksheet per se but a reference sheet for your chemistry class. It lists cations and anions, their chemical symbols, and their net charges. Also included is a thorough explanation of combining these ions to form ionic...

In this compounds activity, students name ionic and molecular compounds given their formulas. They also write the formulas for molecular and ionic compounds given their names.

By contrasting cations and anions, this presentation shows how to predict ionic charges by periodic groups. The slides conclude with a few guided practice problems for writing ionic compound formulas.
