. Flashcards
is a combining of two or more atoms tightly bonded together in a covalent bonding.
MOLECULE
any molecule that is made up of two atoms only.
DIATOMIC MOLECULE
are chemical formulas that indicate the “actual” number and types of atoms in a molecule.
MOLECULAR FORMULAS
are chemical formulas that give only the “relative” number of atoms of each type in a molecule.
EMPIRICAL OR SIMPLEST FORMULAS -
is a shorthand representation of the composition of substance using atomic symbols and numeric subscripts. It is a representation of a “formula unit” of a compound -not just a molecule.
CHEMICAL FORMULA
are formulas that indicate the exact number and types of atoms present in a molecule & how the atoms bonded to each other.
STRUCTURAL FORMULAS
are the electrically charged atom or group of atoms. An ion with a positive charged (+) is called a cation; a negatively charged (-) ion is called an anion.
IONS
are ions consist of atoms joined together as in a molecule, but they have a net positive or negative charged. They are ions composed of two or more atoms.
POLYATOMIC IONS OR RADICALS
are compounds that contain positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. Consequently, ionic compou
IONIC COMPOUNDS
are ionic compounds composed of two different kinds of atoms or elements.
BINARY COMPOUNDS
are compounds composed of three or more elements combined in a definite proportion, where the combining ions are usually the polyatomic ions.
POLYATOMIC COMPOUNDS
are elements having two (2) valence numbers and can form two different ions.
BIVALENT ELEMENTS
are elements having three (3) or more valence numbers and can form more than two (2) different ions.
E.g. most transition metals and other non-metals.
MULTIVALENT ELEMENTS
are acids composed of a hydrogen ion and a non-metal ion only. These are acids that do not contain an oxygen atom in its chemical formula.
BINARY ACIDS
are acids that are composed of three elements, and the third element is an oxygen atom. These are acids that contain a polyatomic anion as its negatively charged ion.
OXY-ACIDS OR OXO-ACIDS OR TERNARY ACIDS -
