Lecture 1-2 Flashcards
(33 cards)
Monatomic ions
formed of only one atom
- if gain electron anion
- if lose electron cation
Polyatomic ions
Memorize em
Polyatomic cations
Ammonium ion: NH4+
Hydronium ion: H3O+
Oxyanions
polyatomic ions that contain one or more oxygen atoms
Ionic bond
Ions formed the the transfer of electrons resulting in an ionic bond
- electrostatic forces between two oppositely charged objects
- (cations and anion)
Covalent bonds
Molecules are formed when electrons are shared
- form molecules by sharing electrons
- attractive forces between positively charged nuclei of the bonded atoms and one or more pairs of electrons
Ionic compounds
Compound held together by ionic bonds
Ex: metal combined with one or more non-metal
- always contain positive (cation) and negative (anion) ions
- solids
- total number of positive charge=total negative charge
- formula has smallest whole number ratio of ions
Write formula for Aluminium + Oxygen
Al2O3
Molecular compounds
Result from atoms sharing electrons (covalent bond)
Usually combination of non-metals
Binary compounds
Only two different elements
How to name binary compound with metal that forms only one type of cation
Name of cation (metal) + base name of anion (non-metal) + ide
How to name binary compound with metal that forms more than one type of cation
Name of cation (metal) (charge of cation in roman numerals in brackets) + base name of
anion (non-metal) + ide
- transition metals
ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions
ionic rules + use name of polyatomic
Naming oxyanions
named according to number of oxygens
Nitrate: NO3 - Nitrite: NO2 - What if there are more than two ions? Use prefixes! Hypo: less than Per: more than Ex: ClO- hypochlorite (less O than Cl) ClO4 - perchlorate (more O than Cl)
Hydrated ionic compounds
Called hydrates
- Have a specific number of water molecules -> use a prefix
Name of compound + prefix_hydrate
Naming molecular compounds
Prefix+ name of first element+ prefix+ base name of 2nd element+ ide
Naming binary acids
composed of hydrogen + non-metal
Hydro+base name of non-metal+ic+acid
when (aq)
Naming oxyacids
contain hydrogen and an oxyanion (anion with a non-metal and oxygen)
Oxyanions ending with -ate : base name of oxyanion +ic + acid
Oxyanions ending with -ite: base name of oxyanion +ous + acid
Strong acids to memorize
HCl, HBr, HI, HClO4 , HNO3 , H2SO4
CaBr2
calcium bromide
PbCl4
Lead (IV) Chloride
NH4NO3
Ammonium Nitrate
Li2Cr2O7
Lithium dichromate
NI3
Nitrogen triodide
