Question 22

Characteristics of metals

Answer 22

metallic shine (luster) 
conduct electricity well 
conduct heat well 
malleable 
ductile 
usually solid at room temp
various reactivity
loses electrons to form cations(positive)
usually form ionic compounds

Question 23

Characteristics of non-metals

Answer 23

poor electrical conductors 
poor heat conductors 
mostly found in compounds 
not malleable or ductile 
variable reactivity
usually forming molecular compounds sharing of electrons)
gain electrons to form anions(negative)

Question 24

Subscript to the right of element symbol means?

Answer 24

the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of the compound.

Answer 25

contains molecules usually of only nonmetals

Empirical formulas

Question 28

Which formulas give the exact number of atoms

of each element in a compound?

Answer 28

Molecular formulas

Question 29

Which formulas show the
order in which atoms are
bonded?

Answer 29

structural formulas

Question 30

BLANK drawings also
show the three-dimensional
array of atoms in a compound.

Answer 30

Perspective drawings

Question 31

An atom that gains or loses an electron is called an

Answer 31

When atoms lose or gain electrons, they become
ions.
– Cations are positive and are formed by elements on the
left side of the periodic chart.
– Anions are negative and are formed by elements on the
right side of the periodic chart.

Question 32

Ionic compounds generally form between what?

Answer 32

metals and nonmetals

Question 33

What is a polyatomic ion?

Answer 33

A group of atoms that is covalently bonded,

and yet still has a charge, is a polyatomic ion.

Question 34

Writing chemical formulas:

Answer 34

Because compounds are electrically neutral, one
can determine the formula of a compound this
way:
– The charge on the cation becomes the subscript on the
anion.
– The charge on the anion becomes the subscript on the
cation.
– If these subscripts are not in the lowest whole-number
ratio, divide them by the greatest common factor.

Question 35

Naming of binary metal-nonmetal compounds

Answer 35

First: name of cation(metal)
then
the name of the anion(nonmetal) with the end replaced with -ide
KI: Potassium Iodide

Question 36

Polyatomic ion compounds:

Answer 36

Cation then anion

Question 37

Binary compound between 2 nonmetals

Answer 37

First: nonmetal nearest to a metal
then
the ion name(-ide) of the 2nd nonmetal
use greek prefixes for both, (except mono for first nonmetal) mono, di, tri, tetra,penta,hexa,hepta,octa,nona,deca
prefixes are not used when hydrogen is one of the elements
