How to Balance the Ionic Formula of Lithium Sulfide
Understanding Ionic Compounds and Their Formulas Ionic compounds form through electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. These charged particles come from electron transfer between atoms with different electronegativities. Knowing how ionic bonding works is key to understanding these compounds’ formulas. Basic Principles of Ionic Bonding Ionic bonding happens when atoms lose or gain electrons to get a stable electron setup. This usually…
