Greek prefixes – what do they tell us?
The number of whatever the item is
Compound naming: you should be able to use your Ion Chart and be able to name binary ionic
compounds!
SbN
Antimony (III) Nitride
What does binary mean
2 parts
What does ionic mean
Atom loses electron to other when they bond
What is cation and which part of formula do you see it
Positive ion, in very front
LiH which is cation
Li
Formula for sodium benzoate
Na2C7H6O2
Formula for magnesium acetate
Mg(C2H3O2)2
Formula for Iron (III) chloride and Iron (II) chloride
Iron (III) chloride- FeCl3
Iron (II) chloride- FeCl2
What’s the difference between Iron (III) and Iron (II)
+2 vs +3 charge (oxidation #)
What is stock system of naming compounds and give examples
Iron (II) oxide
Antimony(III) Phosphide
Why is it important to balance the + and - charges of ions in a formula
Balances to 0 which is neutral and less likely to react
Water can and does attach itself to the crystalline structure of a molecule. What is the water called?
Hydrate
What do we call a compound that has no water in the molecule?
Anhydrous
What is the name for MgSO4 * 3H2O
Magnesium sulfate Trihydrate
Chemical formula for calcium fluoride
CaF2
Chemical formula for silicon disulfide?
SiS2
What is the reactant or reactants and product or products in 4Fe + 3O2 —-> 2Fe2O3
Reactant: 4Fe + 3O2
Products: 2Fe2O3
Define reactant and product in any chemical equation.
Reactant- what starts at beginning (ingredients)
Product- what you get at the end
What are coefficients and subscripts
Coefficients- How many of that atom or molecule is in equation
Subscript- How many atoms or group of atoms there are
Coefficients and subscript for 3H2 + O2 —-> 3H2O
Coefficients- 3
Subscripts- 2
