A
  1. All nonzero digits and trapped zeroes are significant!
  2. Zeros that start a number are not significant!
  3. Zeros that end a number without a decimal are not significant!

Q

JJ Thomson:

A

Subatomic particle (smaller than atom!)
Electrons: negatively charged subatomic particles
“Plum-pudding” model of the atom:
* 1. No positively charged particles!*
* 2. Electrons are the only particles= only mass!*
3. Atoms are mostly empty spaced (can’t have negative charges close to each other)!
1 and 2 are incorrect!

Q

Elements:

A

Elements are electrically neutral!

Q

Ions:

A

Reactivity of an atom is related to the charged particles and it forms ions!

33
Q

Cations:

A

Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged (ca(+)ions)!
Metals form cations!
Metals have the tendency to lose electrons!
For each positive charge, the ion has one less electron than the neutral atom!

Example:
Na atom= 11p+ and 11e- Na+ ion= 11p+ and 10e-
Ca atom= 20p+ and 20e- Ca^2+ ion= 20p+ and 18e-

Cations are named the same as the metal!
Sodium Sodium ion
Calcium Calcium ion

34
Q

Anions:

A

Atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged!
Nonmetals form anions!
For each negative charge, the ion has one more electron than the neutral atom!

Example:
F atom= 9p+ and 9e- F ion: 9p+ and 10e-
N atom= 7p+ and 7e- N3- ion: 7p+ and 10e-

Anions are named by changing the ending of the name to ide!
Fluorine Fluoride ion
Nitrogen Nitride ion

35
Q

Chemical bonding:

A

Compounds and molecules are held together by chemical bonds!

36
Q

Ionic bonds:

A

Electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative nonmetal ions!
Electrons are transferred from cation to anion!
(oppositely charged means they can attract each other!)
Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds because in ionic bonds it is a positive and negative attraction!

37
Q

Covalent bonds:

A

Electrostatic attraction of the shared electrons to the nuclei of the bonding nonmetal atoms (nonmetal & nonmetal)!
Electrons are always in motion the electrostatic attraction attracts both nonmetals!

38
Q

Nomenclature:

A

Atoms bond together to make chemical formulas!
Chemical formulas have predictable naming patterns!
Focus primarily on ionic bonded compounds!
Generally ions forms to have number of electrons = to their closest noble gas (not the for transition metals)!

Example 1:
Potassium= 19p+ and 19 e- closest noble gas: argon (18e-)

Example 2:
Potassium ion= 19p+ and 18e- k^+1

39
Q

Ionic compounds:

A

Compounds have no net charge!
Number of electrons lost by cations = number of electrons gained by anions!
Symbol of cation number of cations symbol of anion number of anions!

Example:
Cation= Na^+1 Anion= S^-2
2nd cation= Na^+1

Naming: Metal name+ anion name (-ide suffix)!:
Sodium sulfide

40
Q

Writing ionic compound formulas:

A
  1. Write the symbol and charge for each metal and anion!
  2. Generate a number of ions to equal out the charges!
  3. Reduce to smallest whole number ratio!
  4. Assign it a name!
41
Q

Complications: Cation charges:

A

Some cations have multiple Jons they can form!
Use the formula to get the name or use the name to get the formula!

Example:
Iron (fe) can form Fe^+2 (ferrous) or Fe^+3 (ferric)

42
Q

Multivalent cations:

A

1.Determine the charge of the anion!
S (group 6A = 2 charge)
2. Calculate the total negative charge!
(-2)x(3)=-6
3. Determine total positive charge needed!
+6
4. Divide total charge by number of cations!
+6/2 Fe cations= +3 charge per cation
5. Name the compound!
Iron (III) sulfide

43
Q

Complications: Polyatomic ions:

A

Some ions have multiple atoms in them, but only 1 charge!
Polyatomic ions!
-ate ions
Chlorate= CIO-3
-ate ion + 1O——-> same charge, per-prefix (per means add oxygen!)
Perchlorate= CIO-4
-ate ion -1O——> same charge, -ite suffix (ate to ite just means subtract 1oxygen!)
Chlorite= CIO-2
-ate ion -2O——> same charge, hypo-prefix,!
ite suffix
Hypochlorite= ClO-

44
Q

Polyatomic ions:

A
  1. Identity the ions!
    Iron(IIl)= Fe+3
    Nitrate= polyatomic ion= ( NO3)-1
  2. Equal the charges!
    Fe+3 (NO3)-1
    (NO3)-1
    (NO3)-1
    (Add parenthesis to emphasize that need you that ion!)
  3. Reduce!
    Fe(NO3)3!
45
Q

A

A compound that loses H+ in solution!
Always shown as dissolved in water (aq)
