Ionic compounds .

Just use the molecular weights from the periodic table! Like normal

Everything is the exact same since the ions you are talking about means different numbers of electrons.

The weight of electrons is negligible as far as molecular weight since they weigh so little.

atomic mass of element*number of atoms in one molecule of compound + the same for all other elements, and that will give you the mass in grams of one mole of that compound
