What is a formula   Abbreviation for compound  
🗑
Group IA Elements have what Oxidation #   +1  
🗑
Group IIA Elements have what Oxidation #   +2  
🗑
Group VIA Elements have what Oxidation #   -2  
🗑
Group VII ELements have what Oxidation #   -1  
🗑
What does (I) or (II) after Cu mean?   Oxidation #  
🗑
What does (II) or (III) after Fe mean?   Oxidation #  
🗑
What elements have an oxidation number of 0 if they are in a diatomic molecule?   Cl, F, H, I, N, O, Br  
🗑
Does H have a Oxidation # of +1 or 0 in water?   +1  
🗑
WHat is superscript?   Numbers up and to the right  
🗑
What does super script denote?   Charge  
🗑
What is subscript?   Numbers down and to the right  
🗑
WHat does is denote?   Atomic quantity with in a formula  
🗑
WHat are the first two rules for writing formulas?   1. Write the positively charged element first and negatively charged second ( Parenthesis will denote charge) EX. H(+1) O (-2) 2. Find the lowest common denominator between the atoms ( In the example above, it is 2)  
🗑
WHat is the third rule for writing formulas?   3. Multiply the subscript by the superscript. Do this by recognizing the common denominator then how many of each atom it will take to match it EX. H (+1) and O (-2), it will take 2 Atoms of H to match the -2 charge of O  
🗑
What is the fourth rule for writing formulas?   Make sure your charges equal 0 H (+1) O (-2)= H (+1) H (+1) O (-2)= H2O and charge = 0 Yeah!  
🗑
WHat is a poly atomic ion?   Groups as atoms that act as one atom  
🗑
How do you calculate charge of a polyatomic ion, individually or as a whole?   As a whole. Don't break these down, or you will have a break down.  
🗑
Ammonium   NH4 +1 (only positively charged polyion)  
🗑
Bicarbonate   HCO3 -1  
🗑
Cyanide   CN -1  
🗑
Hydroxide   OH -1  
🗑
Hypochlorite   OCl -1  
🗑
Nitrate   NO3 -1  
🗑
Nitrite   NO2 -1  
🗑
Carbonate   CO3 -2  
🗑
Sulfate   SO4 -2  
🗑
Sulfite   SO3 -2  
🗑
Phosphate   PO4 -3 (only -3 polyion)  
🗑
Helpful Hint #1   If a polyion starts with the letter B, H or N it will have a -1 charge  
🗑
Helpful Hint #2   If a polyion ends in -ate it always has more oxygen than if it ends with -ite (EX. Nitrate (NO3) Nitrite (NO2).  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
