Chapter 3 Flashcards
Chemical Nomenclature
A systematic naming of chemical substances
Chemical FormulaS
A combination of symbols, subscripts, and possibly superscripts that identifies the composition of an element, compound, or ion
What information do chemical formulas provide?
- the relative number of atoms of each element contained in a compound
- some provide how atoms are arranged
What does writing a chemical formula imply?
Bonding of some type
Formula Unit
The collection of atoms described by a chemical formula
- an atom or molecule of an uncombined element, a molecule of a molecular compound, or the set of ions in the formula of an ionic compound
Subscripts
A number following the symbol of an element (or a closing parentheses) that denotes the number of atoms of the element (or the number of groups) in a compound
What does the formula unit represent?
The ratio of groups in the formula unit
What are the different forms compounds can exist in?
- Covalent compounds (molecular)
- Ionic Compounds
Molecules
an uncharged, covalently bonded group of atoms
When do molecules form
occurs when nonmetals bond
Covalent compound
a compound that contains only nonmetals and/or metalloids bonded together (also called a molecular compound)
Ionic compound
`A compound made up of metal atoms bonded to nonmetal atoms
Lattice structure
a three-dimensional framework containing altering positive and negative ions, in which the ions are bonded to multiple different ions of the opposite charge in all directions
The relationship between ionic compounds and the lattic structure
Ionic compounds bond the lattice structure
What are the diatomic molecules
H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Diatomic Molecules
A molecule containing two atoms
allotropes
one of two or more forms of an uncombined element (diamonds and graphite are both allotropes of carbon)
The chemical formula for a molecular compound indicates ___
the number of atoms of each type in a molecule
The chemical formula for an ionic compound indicated ___
the ratio of the atoms of each type
A subscript after a chemical symbol in a chemical formula indicates____
how many atoms of that type are in one formula unit of that compound
What does it mean if there is no subscript?
the number 1 is implied
What do subscripts outside of parentheses mean?
They are multipliers that apply yo rach element inside the parentheses
Ionic compounds contain____
metal atoms bonded to nonmetals
Covalent (molecular) compounds contain____
only nonmetals
Binary Compounds
a compound composed of exactly two elements
Binary covalent compound
a compound composed of exactly two nonmetals
What are the prefixes for binary compounds?
1 - mono
2 - di
3 - tri
4 - tetra
5 - penta
6 - hexa
7 - hepta
8 - octa
9 - nona
10 - deca
Naming Binary Covalent Compounds
- The first nonmetal has a prefix added if more than one atoms is present (stays the same if only one)
- Add a prefix to the second nonmetal regardless of how many atoms there are
- Add -ide to the end of the second nonmetal
***the nonmetal farthest from F goes first (closest to the left corner)
How to pick which nonmetal goes first in a binary covalent compound
- the nonmetal farthest from F/the closest to the bottom left corner
- If they are in the same group do the one farthest down
- If they are the same distance do the one on the row down
What is named different with binary covalent compounds?
Hydrogen
What are the three hydrogen binary covalent bonds we need to know?
- NH3 - Ammonia
- PH3 - Phosphine
- AsH3 - Arsine
Binary covalent compounds are made up of ____
two different nonmetal elements
What do binary covalent compounds use to denote the number of each element in a molecule?
Prefixes
When is the prefix of the first molecule omitted in a binary covalent compound?
When there is only one of the molecule
The relationship between the name of a binary covalent bond and the formula
If the element if named first in the compound, its symbol is written first in the formula
iON
an atom or group of atoms that has gained or lost electrons and therefore has a net negative or positive charge
Cations
positive ions (lost electrons)
Anions
Negative ions (gained electrons)
Monatomic ion
An ion consisting of a single atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons
Binary Ionic Compounds Info
- form when metal atoms combine with nonmetal atoms
- the metal atoms give their electrons to the nonmetals (the metal has a _ charge and the nonmetal has a - charge)
