Compounds are a group of atoms and ions, they have been together by a attractive force
Compounds can be together by 2 ways of attraction, covalent bond and ionic bond
Compounds can be defined in a formula, the formula of these compounds have rules for naming them
Rules Of Naming Compounds
A metal in a compound in a compound is named first, all metals are cations, thus they are named first as they are positively charged ions that give electrons
A formula of a compound can define a ion, for example Iron (II) Chloride can be defined as Fe+2, while Iron ( III ) Chloride can be defined as Fe +3
A compound have 2 atoms or ions have their names ending with -ide, for example sodium chloride
Compound ions have their names ending with -ate, for example CoCo3
Valency
Valency (or combining power) refers to the number of bonds an atom can form in a covalent compound.
Cross-Over Method
The 'cross-over' method is used to determine the formula.
