what are the two types of acids
tenary and binary
if the polyatomic ion ends in “ate” change it to
ic
if the polyatomic ion ends In “ ite” change it to
ous
what is a binary acid
Binary acids are acids composed of two atoms, a hydrogen element and a nonmetal element.
what is a tenary acid
an acid that contains oxygen
cations
metals become cations when they lose electrons
anions
nonmetals become anions when they gain electrons
what is an ionic bond
the transfer of electrons from a metal ( cation) to a nonmetal anion)
binary ionic compound
a compound made up of a main group metal and a main group non metal
pure covalent bond
the electrons are sgared equally
what is a hydrogen bond
polar mol ecules containing hydrogen
types of intermolecular forces
dipole - dipole attractions
hydrogen bonding
dispersion forces
ionic bonds
all polar covalent bonds are attracted by
dipole dipole attractions
because polar molecules have dipoles the negatively charged end of the dipole in one molecule is attracted to the
positively charged end
ionic bonds
strongest type of attractive force found in a compound between a metal and a nonmetal
