Answer:
Ionic compounds have a metal and nonmetal.
Ionic compounds are made up of ions.
Explanation:
You did not provide any formulas for me to correct, but:
- ionic compounds tend to have metals and nonmetals. (EX: NaCl)You can look at the periodic table to see which elements are metals and which are not.
- ionic compounds are made up of ions. Ions are elements that have a charge (Like
or
). To have a correct ionic compound, make sure that the ions inside of it "cancel" each other out.
EX: Na has a +1 charge. Cl has a -1 charge. When they are paired up, they successfully cancel each other out (become neutral) and become the ionic compound NaCl.
The chart below shows you the charge of each element. Make sure the charge of the elements in an ionic compound "cancel" each other out.
The very last chart shows the metals and nonmetals
