Compounds and the Mole Flashcards
Chemical nomenclature
the systemic approach to naming chemical compounds
Chemical formulas
combine elemental symbols and subscripts to represent compounds
Chemical formula of rust

Molecular compounds
individual particles made up of bonded atoms known as molecules
Molecular compounds aka
covalent compounds
Covalent bonds are between
nonmetal atoms
Ionic compounds
extended 3D lattice structure (network) of atoms
Ionic compound composition
metal atoms + nonmetal atoms
