Calculate the Atomic Mass of Hydrogen.
H is point 1.008 amu
1H 99.9885 % abundance (1neutron 1 proton) & 1.0078 amu
2H 0.0114 % abundance (2 neutrons 1 proton) & 2.0141 amu
3H 0.0001 % abundance (3 neutrons 1 proton) & 3.0160 amu
Final answer: 1.0079126… rounded it’s 1.008amu
Work:
(0.999885)(1.0078amu) + (0.000114)(2.0141amu) + (.000001)(3.0160amu) =
(1.00768amu) + (0.0002296amu) + (0.000003016amu) =

2.2 True of False? the suffix “ide” will always refer to a monatomic anion
True
What is the convention for naming Ionic Compounds per Dr. Cotton?
with example
Take the Cation name - “Ion” then add the Anion element at the end.
ex. Sodium Chloride
Sodium Ion - Ion + Chloride
How do you name the Ionic Compound Fe3+ and O2-
Iron(III) Oxide
How would you right the name of the Ionic Compound Ca and Fl?
Ca is a cation(2+) and Fluoride(-) is an anion
CaF2
EXPLAIN Why there are 2 Fluoride atoms in the Ionic Compound CaF2??
Ca is a Cation with charge 2+ (group2) and Fluoride is an Anion with charge -1(group17). In order to get an overall neutral charge for the compound the COMBINED CHARGES MUST CANCEL OUT.
therefore, the LCD of 2 and 1 is 2. 2 Fluorine atoms must attach to 1 Ca atom so the charges 2(pos)+2(neg)=0.
What are the 7 strong acids?
HCl
HBr
HI
HNO3
H2SO4
HClO4
HClO3
Hydrochloric acid
Hydrobromic acid

Perchloric acid
Chrloric acid
What are the individual charges of the Ionic Compound Fe2O3
The Ionic Compound is Iron(III) Oxide
Using the cross down method to formulate the compound’s correct number of atoms (as per their charges), the individual charges for Fe was positive 3(per III), the charge for Oxygen is negative 2(group16)
What’s the formula for Oxide?
Why?
O2 (O subscript 2)
The reason is being the naming convention is to specify “ide” of a negative Oxygen atom.
Why do we use roman numerals to express the charge number on transition metals?
The roman numerals represent the positive charge values of unpredicatable elements. This needs to be specified in roman numbers each time, because the charge number is not predictable when it reacts with different atoms. Unlike other atoms who always react to loose or gain electrons predictably i.e O2 always O2.
List the 4 transition metals that are not written with roman numerals because they develop a predictable cation formula
__________ +1
__________ +2
__________ +2
__________ +2
Silver ion Ag+1
Nickel ion Ni+2
Zinc Ion Zn+2
Cadmium ion Cd+2
Write the name for the Formula:
CrCl2
explain the charges.
Chromium(II) Chloride
the charges need to be so that the compound is overall neutral compound,
Therefore, Chloride (two atoms of chloride) each with a charge of negative -1 means it’s overall negative charge is -2. Chromium needs to be able to cancel out -2 charge. Therefore, it’s cation charge can be predicted as II. Hence Chromium II.
Name the Compound
Mn2O3
(3 subscript, 2 subscript)
Manganese(III) Oxide
3 Oxygen atoms means the total charge is 3(-2) = -6. Because O is in Gr16. Therefore, the Mn needs to be able to cancel out the -6 with +6. The Mn has 2 atoms. 2(3) = 6. Therefore the Cation Mn has a positive charge of 3- (III) must be expressed in roman numerals.
You should always reduce your formulas to the lowest whole number ratio.
Mg2+S-2
What would it reduce to?
MgS
divide by 2.
Should you indicate the charges in your answers for products?
NEVER. The value for charges of compounds should be understood (implied).
Write the formula of
Lead (IV) Dioxide
PbO2
(subscript2)
You use roman numerals for transition metals and _______ transition metals to indicate the charges because they’re unpredictable.
post transition metals.
Name
CoN2
(subscript 2)
Cobalt (VI) Nitride
N brings a Charge of 3*2=-6 therefore for the net charge of the compound to be neutral you must have +6. 1 cobalt cation must bring +6 charge.
True or False
To indicate a negative charge on Bromine it’s fine to write minus 3.
False, write 3 minus.
The number is written first, then the + or -. The opposite of an exponent.
Br3-
