Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Atoms form bonds to become stable when there is no outer energy levels, but an input of energy will break bonds. When energy releases, it forms a bond.

By joining the cation and anion names, you could name ionic compounds.

Polyatomic Ion Is two or more atoms that are together as a unit. To group polyatomic ions in a chemical formula you can use parentheses.
