LESSON 4: NAMING CHEMICAL FORMULA Flashcards
• Nearly 70% of known elements
• Lustrous
• Good conductor of heat &electricity
• Malleable
METALS
• Lower melting points and densities
• Form brittle solids
• Poor conductor of heat and electricity
• Reactive nonmetals and noble gases
NONMETALS
• Properties fall somewherebetween metals and nonmetals
• Have metalic apperance
• usually brittle
• not as good as metals in conducting electricity
METALLOIDS
Larger particle or structure formed when ______________________________
two or more atoms are bonded together.
single atom molecule (ex: diamond, pure gold)
Monatomic
molecule with 2 atoms (ex: Cl2, I2, Br2)
Diatomic
molecule with 3 or more atoms (ex: C6H12O6, CaCO3)
Polyatomic
particles that have a NET CHARGE (formed when an atom loses or gains electrons)
IONS
positively (+) charged
Cations
negatively (-) charged
Anions
formed from the TRANSFER of electrons between cation and anion COMBINE
IONIC COMPOUND
• Form from the SHARING of electrons between REACTIVE NONMETALS
• Gases, low-boiling liquids, low-melting solids
• Ex: methane gas, water, alcohols, chewing gum
MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
Actual number of atoms of each element
MOLECULAR
Simplest whole number ratio
EMPIRICAL
How atoms are bonded to one another
STRUCTURAL
TYPES OF CHEMICAL FORMULA
MOLECULAR, EMPIRICAL, STRUCTURAL
MOLECULAR MODELS
Ball-and-stick-models, Ball-and-stick-models
• shows atoms as spheres and bonds as sticks
• accurately represent the bonds and bond angles at which atoms are attached to one another within the molecule, but not the actual size of the atom
Ball-and-stick-models
gives more realistic representation of the space
occupied by the atoms since it shows the relative sizes of the atoms
Space-filling model
denote the numbers of atom present.
Prefixes
The name of the other component, which will be used as the second word, would be modified to accommodate the suffix
–ide.

occur when atoms gain, lose, or share electrons.

Nonmetals can _______ electrons to form a covalent bond. This creates a ___________.
share, molecule
_______ can act as either a
metal or a nonmetal!
HYDROGEN
