Question | Answer |
---|---|
ionic compound | formulae unit, contains ions and has a nuteral total charge, transfer of electrons by metal + nonmetal |
covalent compound | molecular unit, nonmetal + nonmetal that share electrons |
molecular formula | actual number of atoms of each type in a molecule |
empirical formula | gives ratio of the atoms in the molecule |
structural formula | gives the most information, gives actual arrangement of atoms and the types of bond in a molecule |
polyatomic compounds | contaies a group of covalently bonded atoms with an overall charge |
naming binary ionic compounds. | name of cation metal & base name of nonmetal anion +ide |
to balance ionic compound | use valence electrons and charges to find the balance to make a nuteral compound. |
naming type 2 binary compound | these are for transfer metals. distinguish how much cations to create a nutreal compound. name cation+ roman numeral to show amount of charge & base name anion + -ide |
PT family/group has... | same number of valance electron and similar characters |
the first member of each group on the PT... | shows abnormal properties and will be the smallest size |
physical properties of ionic compounds | very high melting and boling point, dissolves in water and spereates anions and cations, conducts electricity in a solution |
with ionic compounds | change the charges without the sign when writing down the formula |
physical properties of covalent/molecular compounds | mostly gases, dissloves in polar and non-polar solvents, does not conduct electricity |
naming bianary molecular compounds | prefix first element(smallest group #, if in same group, greatest row # 1st) & prefix last element |
binary acid | made of hydrogen and one other non-metal, aqueous hydro prefix & nonmetal +ic & acid |
oxyacids | compounds that contain hydrogen, oxygen and at least one other element. hydrogenis ommited when naming |
polyatomic ion ending with -ate | oxyacid ends with -ic acid |
polyatomic acid ends with -ite | oxyacd ends with -ous acid |
