18
Q

What are the elements in HOFBrINCl

A

Hydrogen, oxygen, flooring, bromine, iodine, nitrogen, chlorine

19
Q

What is a polyatomic ion

A

And I am made up of more than one eye on that acts as a single particle

20
Q

What is a diatomic molecule

A

From molecule that’s found in its natural form as two atoms (the HOFBrINCl )

21
Q

What is a covalent bond

A

Electrons are shared so that each element can have a full outer orbit

22
Q

What is the difference between ionic compounds and molecular compounds

A

Ionic compounds have an ionic bond, a nonmetal plus a metal, and they give or take electrons. Molecular compounds have covalent bonds, two nonmetals and electrons shared

23

27
Q

Do you want ionic compounds dissociate

A

yeperino

28
Q

What is dissolving

A

Free to move around and can conduct more electricity

29
Q

How do you name acids

A

The chemical formula starts with H, add the prefix “hydro” and add the suffix “ic” and add acid at the end. Example: hydrochloric acid

30
Q

Do acids and bases dissolve in water to form ions

A

Yes

31
Q

What do oxyacid acids contain

A

32
Q

If a polyatomic ion ends in “ate” change it to

A

“ic” and add the word acid at the end.

33
Q

If a polyatomic ion ends in “ite” you change it to

A

“ous” and add the word acid

34
Q
