The document discusses ionic and covalent bonding, including how to write formulas and name compounds of each type.

For ionic compounds, the positive ion is written first followed by the negative ion. Roman numerals are used to indicate charge.

Some examples of ionic compound formulas given are MgO, Ag2SO4, CuCO3, and LiCl.
