Chapter 3 Flashcards
Ionic Bond
Ionic Compound
When a metal loses an electron it becomes positively charged and a nonmetal gains an electron is becomes negatively charged. These oppositely charged ions then attract and form an ionic bond.
A three-dimensional array of alternating cations and anions
Covalent Bond
Molecular Compound
When a nonmetal bonds with another nonmetal neither transfers its electron to the other. Instead, a covalent bond is formed where they share their electrons
Covalent atoms form a molecule of covalent bonds, but these molecules are not covalently bound to each other and therefore is a molecular compound.
Write Formula for Ionic Compound
1.) Cations = Anions
2.) Compound must have smallest whole-number ration of ions unless one is a BrINClHOF
3.)Swap and Drop
E.x: Al³⁺ + O²⁻ -> Al₂O₃
Naming a Binary Ionic Compound Where Metal only has One Type of Ion/Cation
Name = Name of Cation/Metal + (Base Name of Anion/Nonmetal + ide)
E.x: KCl -> Potassium Chloride
Naming a Binary Ionic Compound Where Metal has more than one kind of Ion/Cation
Name = Name of Cation/Metal + (Charge of Cation/Metal in Roman Numerals) + (Base Name of Anion/Nonmetal + ide)
E.x:
CrBr₃ -> Chromium (III) Bromide
CuO -> Copper (II) Oxide (Check Charge of Elements)
Naming Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions
Use name of polyatomic ion when it appears
E.x: FeSO₄ -> Iron (II) Sulfate
Naming Molecular Compounds (Two nonmetals)
Name = (Prefix + Name of 1st Element) + (Prefix + base name of second element + ide)
Prefixes:
Mono, Di, Tri, Tetra, Penta, Hexa, Hepta, Octa, Nona, Deca
E.x: N₂O -> Dinitrogen Monoxide
Naming Binary Acids (two elements H + nonmetal)
Hydro + Base Name of nonmetal + ic) Acid
E.x: HBr -> Hydrobromic acid
Naming Oxyacids (H + nonmetal + oxygen)
(Oxyanions = Nonmetal+Oxygen)
(2 Forms)
1.) Oxyanions ending with -ate
Name = (Base Name of Oxyanion + ic) + Acid
E.x: HNO₃ -> Nitric Acid
2.) Oxyanions ending with -ite
Name = (Base Name of Oxyanion + ous) + Acid
E.x: H₂SO₃ -> Sulfurous Acid
Find Empirical Formula
1.) Convert Atom Percentages to grams 99%=.99g
2.)Convert Grams to moles (Molar Mass)
3.)Divide all atoms by smallest number of moles
If result is within .1 of whole number -> round
4.)Write formulas using moles as subscript
5.) multiply all mole rations by a number to make a whole number
Find Percent Composition
1.) Find molar mass of particular atom
2.) Find total molar of compound
3.) Divide molar mass of atom by total mass of compound
Hydrocarbon
Cx, Hx
Ex: CH4, C2H4
Alcohols
CxHx-OH
Ex: CH3CH2-OH
Carboxylic Acid
-C-OH (Double bonded oxygen with carbon)
Combustion Analysis
1.) Convert H20 & CO2 Grams to Moles
2.) Convert Moles of CO2 -> moles of C (1mol C/1mol CO2)
Convert Moles of H2) -> Moles of H (2mol H/1mol H20)
3.)IF compound contains oxygen -> convert moles of C&H to grams. Then add them and subtract from total mass to get grams of oxygen
4.) convert grams of oxygen to mols of oxygen
5.) Find empirical formula: Divide by smallest mole number to find whole number ration
