It explains ionic compounds, focusing on electrostatic forces between positive and negative ions, and illustrates the electron transfer from sodium to chlorine through electron dot diagrams. The transformation of sodium into a cation and chlorine into an anion is highlighted, along with an example of magnesium chloride to demonstrate variations in ionic bonding.

Chlorine and argon are omitted—chlorine because it is meaningless to talk about "chlorine chloride", and argon because it is inert and does not form a chloride.

It compares sodium chloride (NaCl) and cesium chloride (CsCl), noting their differing coordination numbers—6 for Na+ and 8 for Cs+.

It explains single-replacement reactions, including metal and hydrogen replacements, demonstrated by magnesium in copper (II) nitrate and zinc with hydrochloric acid. Reactive metals replacing hydrogen in water and halogen replacement, such as chlorine replacing bromine in sodium bromide, are also discussed.

It introduces the activity series for ranking metal reactivity, explaining that a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive one in reactions. Examples with nickel and aluminum illustrate this concept, and review questions reinforce understanding of the activity series and metal displacement reactions.

It connects the Gold Rush to gold's unreactiveness, which facilitated extraction, while most elements form reactive ions. Cations from groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table are named after their parent elements with a charge indicated by a superscript. The text emphasizes cations' significance in everyday life, including their functions in the body and uses in water softening and food preservation.
