Front

How do you determine the formula of an ionic compound?

Back

The formula of an ionic compound is determined by balancing the total positive and negative charges of the ions.

Front

What is the general rule for naming ionic compounds?

Back

The general rule for naming ionic compounds is to name the cation first followed by the anion, with the anion's name typically ending in '-ide'.
