Formulas Flashcards
Alkane
A saturated hydrocarbon. Have the general chemical formula of CxH2x+2
What is a binary ionic compound
A salt consisting of only two elements in which both elements are ions (cation and an anion)
What is diatomic formula
Diatomic elements are all gases and they form molecules because they don’t have full valence shells on their own
What is a covalent compound
Bonding between nonmetals consisting of two electrons shared between two Adams.
What is a hydrocarbon
An organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.
What is an inorganic formula
A substance in which two or more chemical elements usually other than carbon are combined, nearly always in definite proportions
What is an ion versus ionic
An item or a molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the Adam or molecule a net positive or negative charge
What is monatomic ion
And I am consisting of a single item. If an ion contains more than one Adam even if these items are of the same element it is called a polyatomic ion
Is a polyatomic ion
If an ion contains more than one Adam, even if these items are of the same element
What is the solute
The substance that is dissolved in a solution. For solutions of fluids, the solvent is present in the greater amounts and the solute
What is a solvent
The component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount. It is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
Example: The solvent foresee water is water. The solvent for air is nitrogen
What is organic
A member of a large class of gaseous liquid or solid chemical compounds his molecules contain carbon
What is electrolysis
Electrolysis is a technique that uses a direct electric current to drive and otherwise nonspontaneous chemical reaction
What is a precipitate
And insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution
What are acids
Any of the class of compounds that form hydrogen ions when dissolved in water and his aqueous solutions react with bases and certain metals to form salts
