Question | Answer |
A chemical formua that shows the composition of a compound in terms of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms in the simplest ratio | Empirical Formula |
An empirical formula consists of the | Symbols for the elements combined, with subscripts showing the smallest whole-number mole ratio of teh diferent atoms in the compound |
For an ionic compound, the formula unit is usually | The compounds empirical formula. |
Because of rounding or experimental error, a compound's mole ratio sometimes consist of | numbers close to whole numbers instead of exact whole numbers |
Empirical formula contains the smallest possible whole numbers that describe the | atomic ratio |
The actual formula of a molecular formula | molecular formula |
The relationship between a compound's empirical formula adn its molecular formula is written | x(empirical formula) = molecular formula |
In the molecular formula, the x represents | a whole-number multiple indicating teh factor by which the subscripts in teh empirical formula must be multiplied to obtain teh molecular formula. |
A compound composed of two different elements. | Binary compound |
The sum of the average atomic masses of all atoms represented in the formula of any molecule, formula unit, or ion. | Formula mass |
An ion formed from a single atom | monatomic ion |
A naming system | nomenclature |
The number of electrons that must be added to or removed from an atom in a combined state to convert the atom into the elemental form. | oxidation number |
The condition of an atom expressed by the number of electrons that the atom needs to reach its elemental form. | oxidation state |
a polyatomic io that contains oxygen | Oxyanion |
The percentage by mass of each element in a compound | percentage composition |
An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom or a positive radical replaces the hydrogen of an acid | salt |
