Chemical Bonding Flashcards
Pure Substances:
Cannot be separated into smaller parts. They are either elements or compounds.
Element:
Contains only one type of substance that cannot be separated by chemical or physical means. Can be metals, non-metals, or transition elements.
Compound:
Made of two or more elements chemically combined. Can be separated by chemical means. They are molecular or ionic compounds.
Two or more elements together make a ________.
molecule
How many atoms are present in C12H26?
38
How many atoms are present in Ca3(PO4)2?
11
What does the atomic number represent?
The number of protons and electrons in the atom.
What does the atomic mass represent?
The number of protons and neutrons.
How do you find the number of protons?
Equal to the atomic number.
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom?
Equal to the atomic number.
How do you find the number of neutrons?
Atomic mass - the atomic number.
Monoatomic ions:
Single atoms that have gained or lost electrons.
Cations:
Positively charged. Use the full name with “ion” at the end.
Anions:
Negatively charged. Change the suffix to “___ide” and add ion.
Name P^3-
Phosphoride ion.
Name Zn^2+
Zinc ion.
If F becomes F^-, were electrons gained or lost?
Gained.
If Ba becomes Ba^2+, were electrons gained or lost?
Lost.
Multi-valent ions:
Have more than one possible charge.
Polyatomic ions:
When two or more atoms are so closely bound, they act like one unit.
Alkali metals:
Group 1. Highly reactive, soft, shiny, silver.
Alkaline earth metals:
Group 2. Not the softest or most reactive. Shiny and silver.
Halogens:
Group 17. Poisonous and react with alkali metals to form salts.
Noble gases:
Group 18. Very stable.
Metals are (more/less) reactive as you move down a group.
more
Non-metals are (more/less) reactive as you move down a group.
less
Characteristics of metals:
Conduct heat and electricity, solid at room temperature (except mercury), form cations by losing electrons.
Characteristics of non-metals:
Poor conductors, are a variety of colours, occur as solid liquid or gas at room temperature, form anions by gaining electrons.
Ionic compounds:
A metal and nonmetal combined. Electrons are transferred. Solid at room temperature, conduct electricity in liquid or aqueous form.
Molecular compounds:
Two non-metals that share electrons. Any state at room temperature. Do not conduct electricity in liquid and aqueous form.
Diatomic molecules:
H, N, F, O, I, Cl, Br
Polyatomic molecules:
P4, S8
