Q

What is a molecular element?

A

Do not normally exist in nature with single atoms in their basic units. Instead these elements exist as molecules, with two or more atoms of the same element bonded together

Diatomic atoms fall in this category:

Q

What are hydrated ionic compounds?

A

Some ionic compounds contain a specific number of water molecules associated with each formula unit

42
Q

What does hydrate mean?

A

The water containing component of a hydrated ionic compound

43
Q

What does anhydrous mean?

A

The component of a hydrated ionic compound that does not contain water

44
Q

What are common hydrate prefixes?

A 
Hemi = 1/2
Mono = 1
Di = 2
Tri = 3
Tetra = 4 
Penta = 5 
Hexa = 6 
Hepta = 7
Octa = 8
45
Q

How do you name a hydrated ionic compound?

A
  1. Add the anhydrous name
  2. Multiplied by the hydrate name with the common hydrate prefix infront

CaSO4.1/2H2O = calcium sulfate hemihydrate

46
Q

How do you name molecular compounds?

A
  1. Add the prefix of the first nonmetal infront of the first metal name
  2. Then add the prefix of the second nonmetal infront of the second metal name
47
Q

What are the two different types of acids that exist?

A

Binary acids and Oxyacids

48
Q

What is a binary acid?

A

Contains only two elements

49
Q

What is an Oxyacid?

A

Contains oxygen

50
Q

How do you name a binary acid?

A
  1. Add hydro infront of base name of the nonmetal
  2. Change the ending of the nonmetal name from ide- ic
  3. Finally add acid to the end
51
Q

How do you name oxyacids(polyatomic acids)?

A

Oxyacids ending in -ate:

  1. Change the ending from ATE to IC
  2. Add acid to the end

Ex: I ATE a sandwich and it was ICky

Oxyacids ending in -ite:

  1. Change the ending from ITE to OUS
  2. Add acid to the end

Ex: I took a bITE of an apple and it was deliciOUS

52
Q

What is formula mass?

A

The average mass of a molecule (or formula unit) of a compound

53
Q

How do you solve for formula mass?

A

Formula mass = (#of atoms of 1st element•atomic mass of 1st element) + (#of atoms of 2nd element•atomic mass of 2nd element)….

54
Q

What is the molar mass of a compound?

A

Mass in grams of one mile of a substance is numerically equivalent to its formula mass

55
Q

How do you convert moles to molecules and vice versa

A

Moles of atom • avegadro’s # = molecules

Molecules / avegadro’s # = moles

56
Q

What is mass percent composition?

A

%X = mass of element X in 1 mol of compound / mass of 1 mile of compound • 100%

57
Q

Calculating molecular formula for compounds?

A

Molecular formula = empirical formula Xn

n = molar mass / empirical formula molar mass

58
Q

What is a combustion analysis apparatus?

A

The sample to be analyzed is placed in a furnace and burned in oxygen. The water and carbon dioxide produced are absorbed into separate containers and weighed

59
Q

A hydrogen and oxygen mixture can have what?

A

Can have any ratio of hydrogen to oxygen within the compound

60
Q

What does paramagnetic mean?

A

Application of an external magnetic field, to a substance with UNPAIRED electrons spins causes the random orientation of unpaired electrons spins to become aligned with the external field and form a slight attraction to the external field

61
Q

What does diamagnetic mean?

A

Application of an external magnetic field to a substance whose electrons spins are all PAIRED causes a change in the magnetic moment that results in a magnetic field opposite to the external field, and a slight repulsion to the external field

62
Q

What is electron affinity?

A

The energy released when an electro is added to the gaseous atom

Sometimes the anion formed upon addition of the electron is not stable and the electron affinity Can be negative

It is related to an atoms position on the periodic table
