Question 3

cations are smaller than

Answer 3

their parent atoms

Question 4

anions are larger than

Answer 4

their parent atoms

Question 5

oxidation state

Answer 5

the charge an atom would have if it had ionic bonds

Question 6

oxidation states of main group metals

Answer 6

their highest oxidation state (group number)

Question 7

oxidation states of transition metals

Answer 7

+2 and +3, except for Cu, Ag, Hg, and Au which are +1

Question 8

Question 10

hydrogen oxidation state

Answer 10

+1

Question 11

oxygen oxidation state

Answer 11

-2

Question 12

halogen oxidation states

Answer 12

-1 unless bound to a more electronegative halogen

Question 13

naming binary ionic compounds

Answer 13

name of cation (metal) and name of anion (nonmental with ending changed to -ide)

Question 14

oxoanions ending in -ate

Answer 14

central atom is in its highest oxidation state

Question 15

oxoanions ending in -ite

Answer 15

have one less oxygen than those ending in -ate, reduces oxidation state of central atom by 2

they form four oxoanions

Question 17

when group 7a elements are in their highest oxidation state

Answer 17

prefix - per, suffix - ate

Question 18

when group 7a elements are in their lowest oxidation state

Answer 18

prefix - hypo, suffix - ite
