Inorganic Nomenclature

Question 1

What are the organic compounds?

Answer 1

They’re the ones that are combined with carbon

Answer 3

Covalent bond

Question 4

Metal + non-metal =

Answer 4

Ionic Bond

Question 5

What is a bond?

Answer 5

It’s the link between two or more atoms

Question 6

What are some properties of ionic bonds?

Answer 6

• Weak
• Steal electrons
• Non-metal + metal

Question 7

What are some properties of covalent bonds?

Answer 7

• Strong
• Share electrons
• Non-metal + non-metal

Question 8

What can a metallic bond do?

Answer 8

It can produce electricity

Question 9

How can an atom become an ion?

Answer 9

By gaining or losing electrons

Question 10

Properties of ions

Answer 10

• They can receive or give electrons

Question 11

What is a cation?

Answer 11

It’s the ions tha lose electrons and take a positive charge.

Question 12

What is an anion?

Answer 12

The ones that receive electrons and become negative.

Question 13

What are monatomic ions?

Answer 13

THey’re the ones formed by single atoms

Question 14

How do you write a cation?

Answer 14

Name of element + ion –> element ion

Question 15

How do you write a anion?

Answer 15

Name of element + “ide” suffix –> elementide

Question 16

How do you write an ionic compound?

Answer 16

The name of the cation is written first and its followed by the anion.

Element ion + elementide

Question 17

What happens when alkali metals and alkanline earth metals combine with non-metals?

Answer 17

They form CATIONS

Question 18

What do halogens, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen form?

Answer 18

They form ANIONS

Question 19

What do transition metals form?

Answer 19

They form CATIONS, and can have a charge of two or three.

Question 20

How do you write the name of transition metals?

Answer 20

Metal ion + Roman numbers (to identify the ion’s charge) –> Element (n)

Question 21

What type of compound are Acids?

Answer 21

IONIC COMPOUNDS

Question 22

What happens when acids ionize?

Answer 22

The hydrogen has cations, and would bond to an ANION.

Question 23

What are acids made of?

Answer 23

They´re made of one or more hydrogen cations bounded to an anion.

Question 24

How can we determine the presence and amount of oxygen in an acid?

Answer 24

With the suffix and preffix.

Question 25

What would it be the suffix of an acid, when the ANIONS end in “-ate”?

Answer 25

They would form acids that end with “ic”

Question 26

What would be the name of an acid, if ALL ATOMS end in “-ite”?

Answer 26

form acids that end in “-ous”

Question 27

When the compound has two fewer oxygen atoms than it’s “-ic” counter part then

Answer 27

the prefifix would be “hypo-“

Hypoelementous Acid
or
Hypo elementite

Question 28

When the acid has one more oxygen than the “ic” part, then

Answer 28

the preffix would be “Per-“

Perelementic Acid

Question 29

How would the acid be named when there’s no OXYGEN?

Answer 29

the preffix would be “hydro” and its suffix “-ide”

Hydroelementide.
