Types of Compounds

An atom that has lost or gained valence electrons and has a charge (oxidation number)

• Covalent Compound
• Anion
• Ion
• Cation

A compound made of ions (+ and -). The sum of the oxidation numbers must equal zero.

• Covalent Compound
• Anion
• Ionic Compound
• Cation

An ion made up of two or more atoms that act as one and have an overall charge

• Polyatomic Ion
• Anion
• Ionic Compound
• Cation

A bond between two ions where electrons are transferred (cation ==> anion)

• Covalent Bond
• Anion
• Ionic Bond
• Cation

A compound made of two or more nonmetals (anions only). The sum of the oxidation numbers is not calculated.
