Molecules, Compounds, and Chemical Equations
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Compound Different From Mixture of Elements | In a compound, elements combine in fixed, definite proportions; in a mixture, elements can mix in any proportions whatsoever |
Ionic Bonds | Occur between metal and nonmetal. Involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another(cation to anion) |
Covalent Bonds | Occur between two or more nonmetals or mettaloids. Involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms |
Cation | Positively charged ion |
Anion | Negatively charged ion |
Ionic Bond | Bond between a cation and anion. Forms ionic compound |
Ionic Compound | A lattice - a regular three-dimensional array - of alternating cations and anions |
Covalent Bond | The bond between two nonmetals. Form molecules |
Molecular Compounds | Covalently bonded compounds |
Chemical Formula | Indicates the elements present in the compound and the relative number of atoms or ions for each. There are 3 types of chemical formulas... 1. Empirical.. 2. Molecular.. 3. Structural |
Empirical Formula | Gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound |
Molecular Formula | Gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound |
Structural Formula | Uses lines to represent covalent bonds and show how atoms in a molecule are connected or bonded to each other |
Molecular Model | A more accurate and complete way to specify a compound |
Ball-and-stick molecular model | Represents atoms as balls and chemical bonds as sticks; how the two connect reflects a molecule's shape |
Space-filling molecular model | Atoms fill the space between each other to more closely represent our best estimates for how a molecule might appear if scaled to visible size |
Atomic Elements | Exist in nature with single atoms as their basic units |
Molecular Elements | Do not normally exist in nature with single Atoms as their basic units; instead they exist as molecules - two or more atoms of the element bonded together |
List of Molecular Elements To Memorize | 1. O2.. 2. I2.. 3. Br2.. 4. N2.. 5. Cl2.. 6. F2.. 7. H2.. |
Molecular Compounds | Usually consist of two or more covalently bonded nonmetals. Ex: H2O, CO2, C3H8 |
Ionic Compounds | Composed of cations(usually a metal) and anions(usually one or more nonmetals) bound together by ionic bonds |
Formula Unit | Basic unit of an ionic compound. The smallest, electrically neutral collection of ions. Ex: Na+, Cl- |
Polyatomic Ion | An ion composed of two or more atoms |
Summarizing Ionic Compound Formulas | 1. Ionic compounds always contain + and - ions.. 2. In a chemical formula, the sum of the charges of the + ions(cations) must equal that of - ions(anions).. 3. The formula of an ionic compound reflects the smallest whole-number ratio of atoms |
Ionic Compound Common Names | Nicknames of sorts learned by familiarity. Ex: NaCl(table salt), NaHCO3(baking soda) |
Systematic Names | Names made by chemists for different types of compounds including ionic ones |
Remember When Naming Compounds | Ionic compounds are usually composed of metals and nonmetals; any time you see a metal and one or more nonmetals together in a chemical formula, assume that you have an ionic compound |
Binary Compounds | Contain only two different elements |
Naming Ionic Binary Compounds | Name of cation(metal) + base name of anion(nonmetal) + -ide |
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing a Metal That Forms More Than One Kind of Cation | Name of cation(metal) + (charge of cation(metal) in roman numerals in parentheses) + base name of anion(nonmetal) + -ide |
