2.5 Quiz/Test Flashcards
Hardest part is identifying that is is a covalent compound
Sulfur Tetrafluride
* remember in these the first element never gets the prefix mono while the second will - thats the hardest thing to remember about covlanet compounds
Have to know this is an ionic compound because it has OH- in
OH- carries a negative 1 charge while Ba carries a +2 charge, meaning we need to double up the polyatomic ion
Ba(OH)2
* brackets just mean that that entire part is the part we have 2 of
The key is knowing that Ag always carries a +1 charge
This is an ionic compound because Ag = metal and S = non metal
Ag+1
S-2
Ag2S
* need 2 Ag’s to balence that -2 charge in S
Missed this one
First identify that its an ionic compound
Name the metal = magnesium
* I would note state the charge as a roman numberal because its a group 1 or 2 metal
* Only stating roman numberals for the transitional metals
Name the non metal w/ an ide ending (just like molecular compounds)
Magnesium Iodide
Rules for ionic compounds
No hydro so must be an oxyacid (not binary)
* identifying what kind of compound it is is most important
Must be an ionic compound because it has a polyatomic ion in it and its not an oxyacid (has no word acid in it)
No roman numerals needed because its polyatomic and Ca2+ is a known charge in group 2 (we don’t do roman numerals unless its a transition metal)
CaSO3
NOTE: for binary we use hydro ic..acid –> however for oxyacids we use ous/ic acid depending on if its ate or ite in the suffix of the polyatomic
Missed this one
This one is tricky because its two polyatomic stuck together - we dont really use polyatomics very often as the cation –> however, in this situation the positive charge is a polyatomic
This is an example of an ionic compound w/ no metals in it (because all of the polyatomics are made up of anions)
1) Name the metal (or polyatomic ion)
* Ammonium
2) State the metals oxidation state as a roman numberal in parathesis (except for group 1/2, Al, Zn, Cd, Ag) <— also don’t do the roman numberals if that cation portion is a polyatomic (think ammonium)
3) name the non-metal w/ an -ide ending (or name the polyatomic anion w/o adding -ide)
Ammonium Carbonate
so basically you’re just naming the anions in order is a simple way to remember this - w/o changing anything
Well theres only 2 compounds and 1 of them isnt a polyatomic so this must be a binary acid, meaning we follow the rules “hydro…ic acid”
Hydroiodic acid
2 nonmetals = molecular compound
don’t use the prefix mono for the first element
use the suffix ide, and put the # of atoms on the second element
Iodine Trichloride
This is an ionic compound. however, the first element comes from group 1 so we don’t have to worry about roman numberals
also don’t have to worry about # prefixes on these because they balence themseleves out and there will always be the same number each time because of the charges.
* So ionic compounds don’t get number prefixes!!!!!!
* They do get the ide though
Potassium Oxide
This is an ionic compound. Has a metal and a polyatomic anion in it
na+
ClO-
NaClO –> note this is interchagable w/ NaOCl
* you can’t flip all polyatomics I would just know this one can flip –> I dont really know fi any other ones can
2 nonmetals so must be covalent
We use # prefixes for molecular compounds
* except for when the first atom is mono then we don’t add mono –> but we do add mono to the second one
N2O4
This is considered a binary acid because it only has 2 elements
use hydro…ic acid (think like hydrochloric acid –> HCL)
You would think it would be hydrosulfic acid (dropping the ur in sulfur, however its hydroisulfuric acid, not dropping anything in sulfur and simply adding ic - this seems specific to sulfur, idk why)
Do this one again
I can see the polyatomic so it must be an ionic compound
Zinc is actually not a transition metal and has a stable charge of +2, meaning we dont use the roman numerals
SO4^2- has a negative 2 charge so these balance out
Zinc Sulfate
* dont need to add the suffix ide because its a polyatomic ion
* Dont add a roman number because zinc (even though a transition metal) doesnt vary charges
molecular compound
chlorine dioxide
* first part of molecular compounds don’t take on a prefix
* molecular compounds take on ide on the second portion
check
The key here is to know hydrogen is not a metal, its considered a non metal
Calcium is considered a metal
So this must be an ionic compound
Ca is a group 2 metal, meaning it doesnt take on a roman numberal
Theres no # prefixes because ionic compounds balance themselves out because of the charges
Calcium Hydride
* added the ide because its an ionic compound
notice its more than 2 elements and an acid so must be an oxyacid –> meaning it has a polyatomic ion in it
* dont use the prefix hydro
* ous = ite acid
* ic = ate acid
* no number prefixes in acid because the balance based on charges
PO4^3- = phosphate
so would need to know that PO3^3- = phosphite
Phosphorous Acid
* again the dropping letters is kind of weird here
hydrogen atom (because the atom doesnt have a positive charge is the key - this is fucking stupid)
same # of protons
They have the same # of electrons
