25
Q

How do you name a ionic compound?

A

The name of a positively charged metal ion (cation) is the same as the name of the metal.

26
Q

For simple non-metal ions (anions), the name of the ion is similar to that of the atom, but what does it end in?

27
Q

For polyatomic anions containing oxygen, what will the name of the ion will usually end in?

A

‘-ite’ or ‘-ate’.

28
Q

How do you create a chemical formula containing polyatomic ions?

A
  • If different elements are present, then they are combined in a fixed ratio.
  • The group of atoms behaves as a single unit with a specific charge.
  • Subscripts are used to indicate the number of each kind of atom in the ion.
  • Example: a carbonate ion, CO32-
29
Q

What happens to the formula if more than one polyatomic ion is required to balance the charge?

A

Then it is placed in brackets with the required number written as a subscript after the brackets.
- Example: magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO3)2

30
Q

What are the two types of Crystalline Solids?

A

Crystalline and Amorphous

31
Q

Describe Crystalline Solids

A 
- Arranged in a regular manner 
– definite shape 
– Sharp (definite) melting point 
– Rigid 
– Break into pieces with plane surfaces 
– clean clevage (break into pieces with plane surfaces)
32
Q

Describe Amorphous Solids

A
  • Irregular in arrangement; can exist in different states and do not have a definite melting temperature
    – rigid and cannot be compressed
    – give an irregular clevage
33
Q

What is a Crystal Lattice?

A

The arrangement of ions in a regular, geometric structure is called a crystal lattice.

34
Q

What are Hydrated Ionic Compounds?

A
  • Sometimes water molecules become trapped within the ionic lattice.
  • These compounds are called hydrates, and produce water when they decompose upon heating.
35
Q

How is a formula written for Hydrated Ionic Compounds?

A
  • When the formula of a hydrated compound is written, the number of water molecules is also included, but separated from the ionic formula by a full stop.
  • Example: Iron(II) sulfate octahydrate is written as FeSO4.8H2O
