Writing Formula Rule

TermDefinition
Metal + nonmetal salt
nonmetal oxide + water ternary acid (ex: HSO4, HCO3, HPO4)
metal oxide + water metal hydroxide ex: Cu(OH)2
metal chloride + oxygen metal chlorate
nonmetal oxide + metal oxide salt that has polyatomic ion in it
metal oxide + carbon dioxide metal carbonate
compound + element already in compound compound with element at higher oxidation state
metal + oxygen metal oxide ex: BeO
what are the possible results of decomposition? -two elements -an element and a compound -two compounds
metallic carbonates break down metallic oxides and carbon dioxide
metallic chlorates break down ex: NaClO3 metallic chlorides and oxygen
metallic sulfites break down ex: Na2SO3 metallic oxides and sulfur dioxide
hydrated salts decomposes salt and water
hydrogen peroxide decomposes water and oxygen gas
sulfurous acid decomposes water and sulfur dioxide
carbonic acid decomposes water and carbon dioxide
What are the reactants in a combustion reaction? hydrocarbons and oxygen gas
What are the products in a combustion reaction? carbon dioxide and water
What is the state of matter of nonmental oxides? gas
What is the state of matter of metal oxides? solid
What is the state of matter of salts? solid
What is the state of matter of water? liquid (if you didn't say liquid I am very disappointed in you)
What is the state of matter of acid? aqueous
What are the diatomic molecules? hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine, bromine, iodine, nitrogen, chlorine H2, O2, F2, Br2, I2, N2, Cl2 (HONClBrIF: honkle-brif) (Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer)
-ide hydro___ic acid
-ite __ous acid
-ate ___ic acid
OC one meth
OC two eth
OC three prop
OC four but
What do carbon single bonds end with? ane
What do carbon double bonds end with? ene
What do carbon triple bonds end with? yne
When there are more than one triple or double bond in a organic compound, what do you do? use the full number prefix and then put a number prefix in front of the ending ex: (pentene becomes pentadiene)
How do you name molecular compounds? -always put a prefix for the second molecule -only put a prefix for the first molecule if it is more than one
If a compound name starts with hydro and ends with ic then what does it have? an element (probably from the periodic table) with a name that ends in -ide
What does the prefix bi- do? -Adds an H but doesn't cross charges -As a whole, the polyatomic ion has a -1 charge Ex: Bisulfate = HSO4
What does thio- do? -Takes one oxygen and adds it to the other element Ex: Thiosulfate: SO4 -> S2O3
