Q

sig fig zero rules

A
  1. leading zeros - never count (0.0025 is only 2 sig figs)
  2. captive zeros - always count (1.008 is 4 sig figs)
  3. trailing zeros - only count if # has a decimal point

Q

2 kinds of binary compounds

A

compounds that contain a metal and nonmetal

119
Q

naming type 1 binary compounds

A

1) the cation is always named first and the anion is second
2) the cation has the same name as the element
3) the anion is named by taking the first part of the element name (root) and adding -ide

120
Q

type 1 binary compound examples

A

nacl: na+, cl-, sodium chloride

ki: k+, i-, potassium iodide

cas: ca2+, s2-, calcium sulfide

121
Q

naming type 2 binary compounds

A

1) type 2 compounds are those in which the metal cation has more than one valence number
2) the basic rule is the same as type 1
3) group 1 and 2 metals are always type 1
4) transition metals are almost always type 2
5) a roman numeral is placed in the name of the compound to indicate the valence of the cation.

122
Q

type 2 binary compound examples

A

fecl: iron (iii) chloride

sn3n3: tin (ii) nitride

(hg2)3p2: mercury (i) phosphide

123
Q

mercury exceptions (again)

A

roman numeral doesn’t indicate the valcene for mercury but rather refers to the subscript. both have a valence of 2+.
- mercury (I) has a subscript of 2
- mercury has a subscript of 1 (invisible)

124
Q

type 3 binary compounds

A

compounds that contain only non metals

125
Q

naming type 3 binary compounds

A

1) the first element in the formula is named first, full element name is used
2) the second element is named as if it’s an anion
3) prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms present
4) the prefix mono- is never used for naming the first element. for example, co is called carbon monoxide and not mono carbon monoxide

126
Q

prefixes

A

mono -> 1
di -> 2
tri -> 3
tetra -> 4
penta -> 5
