Explain the role of cations and anions in the formation of ionic compounds.

• Cations and anions form covalent bonds instead of ionic compounds.

• Cations and anions have no role in the formation of ionic compounds.

• Cations and anions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, leading to the formation of a stable ionic compound.

• Cations and anions repel each other, preventing the formation of ionic compounds.

How are cations and anions named in chemical compounds?

• Cations are named using the element's name followed by the word 'ion', while anions are named by replacing the ending of the element's name with 'ide' and adding the word 'ion'.

• Anions are named using the element's name followed by the word 'cation'

• Cations are named by replacing the ending of the element's name with 'ide' and adding the word 'ion'

• Cations are named using the element's name followed by the word 'anion'

Provide an example of a chemical compound with named cations and anions.

• sodium chloride (NaCl)

• carbon dioxide (CO2)

• magnesium oxide (MgO)

• potassium sulfate (K2SO4)
