28
Q

Period

A

29
Q

Octet rule

A

Atoms react by gaining or losing electrons so as to acquire the stable electron structure of a noble gas, usually eight valence electrons

30
Q

Ionic bond

A

One metal and a nonmetal

31
Q

Covalent bond

A

Both nonmetals

32
Q

Valence electrons

A

An electron in the highest occupied energy

34
Q

What does a chemical formula represent?

A

Compounds

35
Q

Differentiate between physical and chemical properties

A

Physical- quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without charging the substance’s composition
Chemical- the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change

36
Q

What happens to the energy of an electron when it moves from a lower to a higher energy level?

A

The elctronn must gain or loose the right amount of energy.

37
Q

Which subatomic particle determines the properties of an element?

A

The electrons

38
Q

How can you tell the number of valence electrons in an element?

A

The group number of an element

39
Q

How do elements in group 2A obey the octect rule?

A

They will lose two valence electrons.

40
Q

What does the atomic mass of an element represent?

A

A unit of mass equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon- 12 atom

41
Q

List all of the differences in chemical properties between ionic and covalent compunds.

A

Ionic- high melting, conduct in water, and soluble with other ionic compounds
Covalent- low melting, not very conductive, and soluble with other covalent compunds

42
Q

List the diatomic particles.

A

H O F Br I N Cl

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen and Chlorine

43
Q

How do cations obey the octect rule versus anions?

A

A cation loses valence electrons while anions gain.

44
Q

What does it mean if a compound ens in -ate or -ite versuds ide?

A

Acids: -ate=ic -ite= ous

-ide if there is no polyatomic ion at the end

45
Q

What is a polyatomic ion?

A

A tightly bound group of atoms that behave as a unnit and has a positive or negative charge.

46
Q

How are ionic compounds generally written?

A

With using the criss cross method and the elements’ charages

47
Q

How are molecular compounds generally written? (covalent compounds)

A

Using the prefixes but mono does not need to be used in the first element. Bromine Tetraoxide instead of Monobromine Tetraoxide

48
Q

How is the charge of a transition metal generally written in a formula?

A

After the element there is a roman numeral following that states the charge of the transition metal.

49
Q

What are the prefixes for naming covalent bonds?

A 
Mono- 1
Di- 2
Tri-3 
Tetra- 4
Penta- 5 
Hexa- 6
Hepta- 7
Octa-8
Nona- 9 
Deca- 10

Q

What is STP and what is the molar volume of gas at STP?

A

STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure

The molar volume is 1 mol/ 22.4 L or 22.4 L/ 1mol

53
Q

A ca^2+ ion differs from a Ca^0 atom in that the first ion has
