Ionic Compounds: a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. Bibliography: Lewis structure. (2017). En.wikipedia.org.

Bohr's Model

Explenation

In Bohr's Model, atoms are depicted as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus. The transfer of atoms is depicted as the outer electrons of one atom passing to the other.

Example

Salt (Sodium Chloride), NaCl

Salt (Sodium Chloride), NaCl

Lewis Dot Diagram

Explenation

In Lewis Dot Diagram, atoms are represented with their chemical symbol with each dot around it being an outer electron. The transfer of electrons is representad as the dots traveling from one atom, to the other.

Example

1. Water (Hydrogen Oxide), H2O    2. Ammonia (Nitrogen Hydride), NH3    3. Methane (Carbon Hydride), CH4

Ion Method

Explenation

On the Ion Method, atoms are depicted with there symbol and labeled either positive (if they have more electrons than necessary) or negative (they lack the electrons to be stable). The transfer of atoms is depicted with the value so each crossing, and then placed on the final compound formula.

Example

Salt (Sodium Chloride), NaCl
