Nothing like having a favorite grouping on the periodic table to remind you of what a nerd you are (it’s halogens, of course, they’re clearly the coolest)

Ionic Compounds
-- made of one or more cations paired with one or more anions
-- usually the cations are metals and the anions are nonmetals
-- metals tend to lose electrons
-- nonmetals tend to gain electrons
-- when a metal and nonmetal combine, one or more electrons transfer from the metal to the nonmetal
-- this creates positive and negative ions that are attracted to each other
-- we can assume a compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is ionic
-- basic unit is the formula unit -- smallest electrically neutral collection of ions -- do not exist as discrete entities but part of a larger three-dimensional array
