Presentation Transcript

  1. What is an ionic compound? • An ionic compound is composed of a cation and an anion. • An ionic compound is composed of a metal cation that reacted with a non-metal anion.

  2. What is the electrical charge of an ionic compound? • Although ionic compounds are composed of ions, they are Electrically neutral (zero charge)

  3. What are three properties of ionic compounds? • Most are crystalline solids at room temperature • They generally have high melting points • They can conduct electric current when melted or when dissolved in water.

  4. Examples of ionic compounds • When a metal reacts with a non-metal the result is a SALT

  5. Online research • Look up images of the following crystals; • write a description • Write the formula unit • state the main metal component. Fluorite Grossularite Aragonite Barite Wulfenite Beryl Hematite Cinnabar Rutile
