Dalton's Atomic Theory Law of definite proportions, law of multiple proportions
The properties of the compound are totally different from the ___________ ________ Constituent elements
Compounds are held together by _________ _____ Chemical bonds
What are bonds Attraction forces between atoms
Bond formed between a metal and a nonmetal element Ionic
Bond formed between two nonmetal elements Covalent
Bond formed between two metal elements Metallic
A _____ atom can transfer an electron to a ________ Metal, nonmetal
_____________ ______ are what allow for attraction Electrostatic forces
Bond is a balance between __________ forces and _________ forces Attractive, repulsive
Compounds forming having ionic bonds are referred to as Ionic compounds
Covalently bonded compounds are referred to as Molecular compounds
A chemical formula represents the ___________ of a substance Composition
The subscript of an element tells the number of _____ of that element in one molecule of the compound Atoms
_________ formulas give the exact number of atoms of each element in a compound Molecular
_________ formulas give the lowest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound Empirical
Empirical formulas DO or DO NOT give info on the compound's shape of how atoms are attached to each other DO NOT
Empirical formulas may or may indicate how many of each type of atom present in the compound. Will if: ____ Will not if: _____ Will if: the molecular formula is the empirical formula Will not if: the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula
__________ formulas show the order in which atoms are bonded Structural
_______ models use balls to represent the atoms and sticks to represent the attachments between them Ball-and-stick
_______ models use interconnected spheres to show the electron clouds of atoms connecting together Space-filling
Who was the American chemist who developed a theory of chemical bonding that depended heavily on valence electrons Lewis
What type of electrons are in the inner/filled shells Core electrons
What type of electrons are in the outer shell Valence electrons
What rule describes the need for atoms to be stable when forming compounds Octet rule
What does the octet rule state Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons until they are surrounded by eight valence electrons
The Lewis structure for an ionic compound involves ______ dots. The metal becomes a ______ and the nonmetal becomes a _____ Moving. Cation, anion
Charges on anions and cations within an ionic formula sum to Zero
The molecular formula of a compound is always ____ the empirical formula An integral part of
Lattice energy The energy required to convert a mole of ionic solid into its constituent ions in the gas phase
The suffix -ide is primarily used for ______ Monatomic anion names
The energy associated with electrostatic interactions is governed by ______ Coulomb's Law
Naming Ionic compounds Write the name of the cation. If anion is an element, change its ending to -ide; if anion is a polyatomic ion, simply write name of polyatomic ion. If the cation can have more than one possible charge, write the charge as a Roman numeral in parentheses.
Ionic compounds containing a specific number of waters for each formula unit Hydrates
The sharing of one pair of electrons between atoms Single bond
Many elements are found naturally as _____ molecules. This is from having a full electron shell through sharing. Ex.) Hydrogen (H2), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2) Diatomic
Naming Molecular compounds Identify as nonmetals, order them (less electronegative first), name first element with full name, name second element with -ide ending, use numerical prefixes (mono-, di-, tri-, etc.)
Formula mass, molecular mass, molecular weight, atomic mass, and atomic weight are all describing the same thing: What is the mass/weight for one mole of something?
Molecular weight or molecular mass The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule
Atomic weight or atomic mass The atomic mass of one mole of the element
How to calculate formula mass and molecular mass Add up all the atomic weights of the elements
A chemical formula gives us ________ between the elements in a compound and the compound itself Equivalences
A pure compound ________ consists of the same elements combined in the same proportions by weight Always
We can express molecular composition as a ____ _______ ___________ or simply ____ _______ Mass percent composition, mass percent
How to find the percentage of the mass of a compound %Element= (# of atoms) (atomic weight) / (FW of the compound) x 100
How to calculate molecular formula Whole number multiple= Molecular weight / Empirical formula weight
The main element that is the focus of organic chemistry Carbon
Carbon atoms bond almost exclusively __________ Covalently
When naming ionic compounds, the ______ is named first followed by the _____ Cation, anion
