Ionic Compounds (1F)

Ions are formed when elements lose or gain ELECTRONS

 O - Oxidation I -   Is L -  Lost R - Reduction I  -  Is G - Gained

GROUP 1 Elements - Lose 1 electron = Example Na+GROUP 7 Elements - Gain 1 electron = Example Cl-

Ionic Compounds have high melting and boiling points because of strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions.
