Chem unit Flashcards
Bohr diagrams & important info you need to know about them
n = mass #- atomic
-aka energy level diagrams
protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus
-electrons are found in the energy levels
1st energy shell =max of 2e-
2nd energy shell= max of 8e-
3rd energy shell =max of 8e-
atomic number= number of p+ or the number of e-
valence level
the outer most energy level
-electrons in this level are called valence electrons
to become stable,atoms gain,lose or share electrons so that their valence level has the maximum number of electrons and they will have the valence electron configuration of a noble gas
a chemical bond
the force of attraction between atoms
two types are covalent and ionic
a covalent bond
aka molecular bonds
-forms when two atoms share valence electrons
-occurs between two or more nonmetals
- solutions of covalently bonded substances are non-electrolytic ( they d not conduct)
-
ionic bond
a force of attraction between a cation(positive) and an anion ( negative). usually between a metal and a nonmetal
-solutions of ionic compounds = electrolytic
electrolytes
and
nonelectrolyes
electrolytes- a solution that conducts electricity ( general examples ionic compound,acids- specific fruit juice , salt in water ,vinegar,lemon juice etc)
non-electrolytes -a solution that does not conduct electricity (general examples include molecular compounds- Specific examples =sugar in water,ASA, Vitamin C
IUPAC
international Union of Pure and Applied Chemists
a global organization that sets standards in chemistry
one job of Iupac is to give compounds systematic names
PS HOFBrINCl
the diatomic elements
(except is is P4 and S8
what are the prefixes for naming molecular compounds
1-mono or mon 2- di 3-tri 4-tetra 5-penta 6-hexa 7-hepta 8-octa 9-nona 10-deca
what are some trivial name molecular compounds
aka common molecular compounds ( they have common names
examples
03-Ozone H20-water H202-hydrogen peroxide NH3-ammonia CH4-methane CH3OH-methanol C2H5OH-ethanol C6H12O6-glucose C12H22O11-sucrose( sugar?)
ions
atoms other than the noble gases are unstable and need to gain ,lose of share to become more stable
-sharing electrons results in a covalent bonds ( molecular compounds)
-if they lose or gain electrons ,become ions and form ionic bonds with other atoms
thus, an ion are charged particles that have lost of gained electrons to achieve the valence configurations of a noble gas
what is the octet rule
that atoms that have an octet of valence electrons are stable and unreactive
-its is duet fro hydrogen and lithium
cations
- positive ions that form when an atom loses an electrons
- a cation has more protons than electrons ,therefore it has an overall positive charge
- metals form cations
anions
negative ions that have formed when an atom gains electrons
it has more electrons than protons and therefore has a negative charge
nonmetals form anions
ionic compounds
composed of a cation(metal) and an anion(nonmetal)
-ionic bond is the force of attraction between these oppositely charged e-
ions stay together in crystal lattice
