Key ideas
Ionic compounds balance cation and anion charges to a neutral formula.
In a saturated solution, dissolving and crystallizing occur at equal rates.
Coefficients in a balanced equation give the mole ratio of species.
Polyatomic ions (sulfate, nitrate, carbonate) act as single charged units.
This dynamic balance is a solubility equilibrium.
Watch out for
- That prefixes are used for ionic compounds (they are for molecular ones).
- That in a saturated solution nothing is happening (it is a dynamic balance).
- That coefficients give mass ratios directly (they give mole ratios).

Key ideas
A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between non-metals.
Ionic bonds form by electron transfer from metal to non-metal.
Sharing lets each atom reach a stable (octet) electron arrangement.
The resulting cations and anions attract by electrostatic force.
Single, double, and triple bonds share one, two, or three pairs.
Watch out for
- That covalent bonds transfer electrons (they share them).
- That ionic compounds exist as individual molecules.
- That all covalent bonds are single bonds.

Key ideas
Carbon forms four strong covalent bonds.
Aromatics contain a benzene ring with delocalized electrons.
It bonds to itself in chains, branches, and rings (catenation).
The benzene ring is unusually stable.
Single, double, and triple bonds add further variety.
Watch out for
- That carbon can form more than four bonds.
- That benzene has alternating fixed single and double bonds (they are delocalized).
- That organic means only living-derived.
