Question | Answer |
---|---|
Compounds are composed of... | Atoms held together by chemical bonds. |
Chemical bonds can be classified as... | Ionic and covalent. |
Describe Ionic bonds. | Occur between metals and nonmetals and involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. |
Describe Covalent Bonds. | Occur between two or more nonmetals and involve sharing of electrons between atoms. |

In a covalent bond the shared electrons... | ...interact with the nuclei. |
What is a chemical formula, and what types of formulas are there? | A formula that indicates the elements present in the compound and the relative number atoms or ions of each. Empirical, molecular, and structural formulas. |
What is an empirical formula? | An empirical formula gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound. Example: Hydrogen Peroxide HO |

Most polyatomic ions are _________. Give and also define the answer. | Oxyaonions. Oxyanions are anions containing oxygen and another element. |
Why is NO3 named nitrate and NO2 nitrite? | Because there are two of this ions in a series, the one with more oxygen atoms gets the ending of -ate, the other with fewer gets -ite. |
What if there are more than one polyatomic oxyanion in a series, what are their prefixes and suffixes? | Hypo is the prefix with suffix ite, for the ion with the lowest charge, just -ite is given to the second lowest, and -ate to the second highest. The highest is given a prefix of per- and suffix -ate. |
What are hydrates? | Hydrates containa specific number of water molecules associated with each formula unit. MgSO4 * 7H2O, as a hydrate, is named Magnesium sulfate Heptahydrate. |
In hydrates, waters of hydration can usually be removed by... | ...Heating the compound. |
What form does the binary molecular compound naming take?: | [ prefix- Name of 1st Element ] [ prefix- Base name of 2nd element ] + -ide. |
When writing a molecular compound, the first element is the... | ...Metal-like one (toward the left and bottom of the periodic table). Write the name of the element with the smallest group number first. If the elements lie in the same group, then write the element with the greatest row number first. |
Name the prefixes from 1 through 10 in that order (1-10). | Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3, tetra = 4, penta = 5, hexa = 6, hepta = 7, octa = 9, nona = 9, deca = 10. |

What is the naming form for acids with oxyanions ending with -ite? | Base name of Oxyanion + ous -> the word acid |
Name this acid: HNO3 | Nitric acid (because NO3 is nitrate and if the oxyanion ends with -ate, then we replace that prefix with -ic). |
NO3 | Nitrate (-) |
Name this acid: H2SO3 | Sulfurous acid (-ous is used because SO3 is sulfite, and prefix -ite gets -ous with acids). |
What is formula mass? | For any compound, the formula mass is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in its chemical formula. Formula Mass = (# of atoms of 1 element x Amass of 1element) + (# of atoms of 2nd element x Amass of 2nd element). |

What is soluable? | If the compound dissolves in water. |
What is insoluable? | A compound that does not dissolve in water. |
