    The document lists common positive and negative ions, their names, and formulas. It notes that ion charges can be determined from the periodic table. It identifies many common metal cations like sodium (Na+) and nonmetal anions like chloride (Cl-). A few key ions that should be memorized first are highlighted in bold, including common ones like ammonium (NH4+), sulfate (SO42-), and phosphate (PO43-).
