Chapter 4 Flashcards
What is the difference between a compound and a molecule?
A molecule is made of 2+ atoms, but
A compound is made of
2+ elements
Molecular formulas give the
exact number of
atoms of each element in a compound.
- Empirical formulas give the
lowest whole-number
ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
A structural formulas is a
sketch or diagram of how
the atoms in the molecule are bonded to each other.
A molecular model is a more __________
A ball-and-stick molecular model
represents atoms as _____ and
chemical bonds as ______
− The balls are typically color-coded
to specific __________.
− How the atoms connect reflects a
____________.

accurate
& complete way to specify a compound.
balls, sticks

molecule’s shape
What happens to e- in an ionic bond?
e- transferred
What happens to e- in a covalent bond?
e- shared
What happens to e- in a metallic bond?
e- pooled
What does an ionic bond look like in the solid state?
Lattice of cations and anions
Lattice energy
The energy
required to
completely
separate a
mole of a solid
ionic compound
into its gaseous
ions.
Coulomb’s law
Distance increases, attraction decrases, charge is also higher but correlation, not causation
What state are ionic compounds in at room temp?
Solid
What teture are ionic compounds?
Brittle
What are ionic compounds melting/boiling temp?
High
What are covalent molecules also known as?
Molecular compound
How is bond length determined?
By which molecule has the lowest energy configuration
What is the melting/boiling point of molecular compounds?
Low
What state is molecular compounds found in at room temp?
All 3
What needs to be overcome to boil covalent substances?
Intermolecular attraction

How do you name binary ionic compounds?
Metal + Nonmetal-ide
How do you name multivalent cations?
Metal (charge) + Nonmetal-ide
What are polyatomic ions? What do they have in common?
Molecules that contain multiple types of atoms, most are oxyanions
What are oxyanions?
Have O and one other element
