Chapter 4 Flashcards
Pure Covalent Bonds
between atoms of the same element (diatomics)
Polar Covalent Bonds
occur when one of the elements in a covalent bonds want the electrons in their orbits more than the other element
Periodic Trend (electronegativity)
decreases down a group, increases across a period
Carbon to Hydrogen bonds are considered…
non-polar bonds
Ionic Naming (steps)
- cation first, then anion
- monoatomic cation = name of the element
- monoatomic anion = name of element - ending + ide
When naming ionic formulas, a polyatomic ion is…
given the name of the ion
Transition Metal Ionic Naming (steps)
- name of the metal
- charge of metal ion is specified by a roman numeral in parentheses
- monoatomic anion = name of element - ending + ide
Hydrates Naming (steps)
- name anhydrous compound (follow ionic naming steps)
- hydrate with Greek prefix denoting the # of water molecules
Binary Covalent Compound Naming (steps)
- name the more metallic element
- name the less metallic element - ending + ide
- # of atoms of each element are denoted by Greek prefixes
Acids
- compound contains hydrogen
- release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
- aqueous when mixed with water
Binary Acids Naming (steps)
- use prefix hydro-
- nonmetallic element name -ending + ic
- “acid”
Binary Acids
have hydrogen as their first element and a nonmetal element as their second element
Oxyacids
- contain hydrogen, oxygen, and at least one other element
- bonded so as to impart acidic properties
- hydrogen and an oxygen containing polyatomic ion
Oxyacids Naming (steps)
- omit “hydrogen”
- root name of the anion
- replace -ate with -ic
- replace -ite with -ous
- “acid”
Ionic Equations
molecular equations don’t explicitly represent the ionic species that are present in the solution
Complete Ionic Equations
display ionic compounds broken into their constituent ions when dissolved in water
Net Ionic Equations
eliminate the spectator ions
Spectator Ions
ions whose presence is required to maintain charge neutrality and are neither chemically nor physically changed by the process
