Chemistry Flashcards
compound
pure substance made of two or more elements that are combined together chemically
ionic compounds
- formed from one or more positively charged ions and one or more negatively charged ions bonded together
- exchange of electrons
- between metal and non-metal
Ionic bond
formed from the force of attraction between (+) and (-) ions
Properties of ionic compounds
high melting point: tends to be solid since the crystal lattice is so strong, lots of energy is needed to melt into liquid
most ionic compounds are soluble: water is a polar molecule (some electrons aren’t shared equally), and a lot of H2O molecules can have enough force to detach an ion
Conduct electricity: when in liquid/aqueous solution ionic can conduct electricity (ions are able to move freely in liquid state, electricity is movement of charge)
Molecular compound
atoms sharing electrons
- between two non-metals
- shared electrons belong to both atoms
Covalent Bond
bond from sharing electrons (in molecular electrons)
Diatomic molecules
two or more of the same element share electrons to be stable
ex. H2, O2, F2
Double Bond + Triple Bond
2 pairs of shared electrons = double bond
3 pairs of shared electrons = triple bond
Properties of Molecular compounds
low melting/boiling point: weak attraction usually gas or liquid, no crystal lattice sturcture
do NOT conduct electricity (mc have no charge)
some dissolve in water, some do not (no charge, so H20 molecules dont affect it but some are similar to water thus they dissolve)
Binary Ionic Compounds
metal + non-metal (two atoms)
how to name:
- leave metal the same, change ending of non-metal to “ide”
Polyatomic Ionic Compounds
1 metal and a group of non-metals that have an overall charge (2+ atoms)
how to name:
- 1st is either:
single valent metal
multivalent metal
ammonium
then: name of the last atom, change to ‘ide”
Binary Molecular Compounds
2 non-metals
how to name:
use prefix, (no mono for the first atom), change the ending of the second atom to “ide
prefixes:
1 - mono
2 - di
3 - tri
4 - tetra
5 - petra
6 - hexa
7 - hepta
8 - octo
9 - nona
10 - deca
Law of Conservation
mass cannot created or destroyed, meaning the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of
Types of reactions
Synthesis: A + B –> AB
Decomposition: AB —> A + B
Single Displacement: C + AB –> CB + A
Double Displacement: AB + CD –> AD + CB
Complete Combustion:
Fuel (hydrocarbon) + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Incomplete Combustion:
Fuel + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water vapour+ carbon monoxide + carbon + energy
