Notes: An is an attraction of a for an resulting from the transfer of electrons. ionic bond cation anion Remember, the smaller nonmetals are more electronegative and pull the electrons close, away from the larger, less electronegative metals. When naming ionic compounds, the Metal is named first, followed by the nonmetal with an –ide ending. Ex. Sodium Fluorine becomes Sodium Fluoride. Formula Unit: Lowest whole number ratio of elements in the compound. Ex. Ca3N2 1. Draw the Lewis Structure for Mg & Cl 2.
