Q

Why don’t the elements in Group IV and V form ions?

A

The elements in Groups IV and V do not usually form ions, because their atoms would have to gain or lose several electrons, and that takes too much energy.

Q

Steps to make the formula of an ionic compound

A
  1. Write down the name of the ionic compound
  2. Write down the symbols for its ions
  3. The compound must have no overall charge, so balance the ions until the positive and negative charges add up to zero.
  4. Write down the formula without the charges.
