| Hey Susan we're learning about Ionic compounds in science class but I don't understand. Can you help? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Sure! It's not as hard as it looks. | |

| Ionic Compounds are composed of cations and anions they are combined so that the negative and positive charges are equal. In a neutral compounds the net charge will be zero. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| How do you balance the charges? | |
| | |
|

|
| | |
| When doing the Criss Cross method you must first determine the ions.Criss Cross the charges of the ions. Ex: Ca+2 P-3 Formula- Ca3p2 | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| How do you create the formulas? | |
