Q

Ionic Nomenclature Rules

A
  1. Keep the name of the Cation (it will stay the same)
  2. Add the -ide suffix to the anion of the compound
    (cut off the end of the elements name to add -ide)

Q

Roman Numeral Rules

A
  1. Transition metals can have multiple charges depending on the ion produced
  2. Determine the charge and add it after the name of the cation.
  3. Will write that charge in roman numerals between the parenthesis
  4. You can determine the charge of the cation by knowing the charge of the anion and vice versa
  5. Since the molecules have to make a neutral charge, they must all ADD up to 0
  6. the anion will have -ide at the end

Q

Latin Naming System

A
  1. Find out if the ions in the compound is lesser or greater one (like if an element can be both +2 or +4, find out which one it is)
  2. After finding it out, add -ic –> higher charge and -ous –> ous
    *usually applies when the ion is a cation(metal)
  3. Add -ide to the anion

Q

Compounds Nomenclature Rules

A
  1. Use the -ide suffix on the second element (ALWAYS)
  2. If there’s only 1 element of the 1st atom, you DONT need the mono prefix
  3. If the element starts with AND the prefix ends with “a” or “o”, you will usually drop the last vowel of the prefix

Q

Naming System for Binary Acids

A
  1. Acids are named by their ANION (so ignore the H)
  2. An element (anion) with the “ide” suffix will change to “ic” and have the prefix “hydro-”
  3. Then add the word “acid” after you’re done.

22
Q

What are covant bonds

A

23
Q

what are ionic compounds

A

complete transfer of 1 or more electrons from
one atom to another (one loses, the other gains)
forming oppositely charged ions that attract one
another

24
Q

How to know the electron negativity difference?

A

if the difference is:
* greater than or equal to 1.9 : ionic
* greater than or equal to 0.5, but less than 1.9 : Polar covalent

A
  1. the 2 atoms involved are not the same
  2. C-H, and Cl-N bonds
26
Q

True or False:

A molecule that contains polar bonds may or may not be polar, depending on its shape

A

True

27
Q

Polar bonds

What makes molecules with nonpolar bonds a polar molecule?

A

if the central atom has one or more lone pairs

28
Q

Polar bonds

What do you need to ask for if a molecule is polar if its bonds are polar?

A
  1. do the inidivudal bond polarities cancel them out?
  2. if so, the molecule is nonpolar. If not, then its polar
29
Q

What is a general rule for finding if a molecule is polar or not?

A

symmetric = nonpolar
unsymmetric = polar

30
Q

molecules w/ 3 atoms

  • ____ bonds oppose (linear)
  • ____ bonds oppose (linear)
  • ____ bonds do not oppose (bent)

1.

A
  1. equal –> linear (x1 - x2 - x1)
  2. unequal –> linear (x1 - x2 - x3)
  3. equal –> bent ( x1 - x2 - x1)

the x mean the same or different molecules

31
Q

Molecules with 4 atoms

  • ____ bonds oppose in ____ planar arrangment
  • ____ bonds in ____ planar arrangment

are these nonpolar or polar

A
  1. equal, trigonal –> nonpolar
  2. unequal, trigonal –> polar
32
Q

Molecular Shapes

How can we predict the 3D structure of a moleucles just by …

A

ading up: bonded atoms + lone pairs

33
Q

What determins the Shape of a molecule? - True or False?

Do bonded atoms and lone pairs take up less space and prefer to be closer to each other as possible

A

FALSE; bonded atoms and lone
pairs take up space and
prefer to be as far from
each other as possible

does a central atom have 4 “things” around it? And what are those “things”

A

Yes it does. Things - is an atom or a lone pair of electrons

A

shape (molecular geometry)

43
Q

Linear geometry: 2 things - true/false

in this geometry, there is only 1 molecule geometry: linear

Note: if there are only 2 atoms in the molecules, the molecules won’t be linear no matter what the geometry is

A

Part 1: True
Part 2: False - If there are only two atoms in the
molecule, the molecule will be linear no matter
what the geometry is.

44
Q

Trigonal Planar geometry:

3 things

2 molecule geometries:

A
  • Trigonal planar, if there are no lone pairs
  • Bent, if there is a lone pair
45
Q

Lone pairs and Bond Angle

Are lone pairs physically smaller or larger than atoms?
And is their repulsion smaller or larger? What happens to the bond in the angle of the molecule then?

A
  • Lone pairs are physically larger than
    atoms.
  • Therefore, their repulsions are
    greater; this tends to decrease bond
    angles in a molecule.
