CHAPTER 3 Flashcards
When elements combine with each other what do they form?
Compounds
What happens when two or more elements combine to form a compound?
Exp H+02
A new substance results
H20 = water
What’s the difference between a MIXTURE and an ELEMENT
Mixture- elements can mix in any proportion
Element- in a compound elements combine in a fixed definite proportions
Definite proportion
Hydrogen- oxygen mixture
Water
Oxygen mixture can have any proportions of hydrogen and oxygen gas
Water has a definite proportion of hydrogen to oxygen
What are compounds composed of atoms held together by?
Chemical bonds
What are chemical bonds?
Are from the attractions between the charged particles ( the electrons and protons) that compose the atom
What are two types of chemical bonds?
Ionic
Covalent
what is an ion
Transfer of electrons from a
NON METAL TO A METAL
What happens to the metal atom when it becomes an ionic bond
What happens to the non mental when it becomes an ionic bond
Becomes a cation + because it looses its electrons
Becomes an anion - gains electrons
What happens with the charges in an ionic bond
The opposite charges attract by electrostatic forces and form an ionic bond
What happens to an ionic compound in a solid phase?
It becomes composed of a lattice- a 3D array- of cations and anions
What are Covalent bonds?
2 non metals
Sharing the electron
What do covalent bonds compose?
What do covalently bonded compounds compose?
Molecule
Molecular compounds
What does a compounds chemical formula indicate?
The elements present in the compound and
the relative number of atoms or ions of each
What are the 3 different types of chemical formulas
Empirical formula - no numbers just atoms H2CL2—> H CL
Molecular formulas - gives the actual number H CL —> H2CL2
Structural formulas- lines that represent covalent bonds H—CL—CL—H. ( can also be drawn anyway exp angle)
Is a molecular model more accurate and complete way to specify a compound?
Yes
Ball and stick formula
Atoms represented as balls that are color coded
Chemical bonds represented as sticks
How the 2 connect reflect the molecules shape
Space filling molecular model
Like bubbles which best estimate how a molecule might appear
Elements may be either _______
Atomic - pure element
Compound— 2 elements combined
Compounds can be ______ ______
Molecular- two or more non metals combined ( h20)
Ionic- NaCL 1 metal 1 non metal (lattice structure)
Do atomic elements exist with single atoms as their basic units?
Yes
Exp Na Ne K Mg
Do molecular elements exist normally or not normally with single atoms as their basic units
No they exist as molecules 2 or more atoms of the element bonded together
Only 7 diatomic elements
2 poly atomic molecular elements
What are the 7 diatomic elements
H2 N2 02 F2 Cl2 Br2 And I2
What are the 2 polyatomic molecular elements?
P4
S8
What are the basic units of molecular compounds
Molecules composed of the constituent atoms
Water- h20
Dry ice- co2
What is the basic unit of an ionic compound
Formula unit- smallest electrically neutral collection of ions
Exp NaCl —> Na+ Cl-
1:1 ratio
Polyatomic ions
Many common ionic compounds contain ions that are themselves composed of a group of Covalently bonded atoms with an overall charge
