MIDTERM (chp5-7) Flashcards
Ions
Formed when electrons are added to, or removed from a neutral species
Cation
A positively charged ion resulting from removing 1 or more electrons from a neutral species
Anion
A negatively charged ion resulting from a neutral specie gaining one or more electron
Octet rule
In forming compounds, atoms of elements lose, gain, or share electrons in such a way as to produce a noble gas electron configuration for each of the atoms involved
Group 1A Alkali Metals:
- All the alkali metal elements tend to lose 1 electron to form a +1 cation
- Cation has the same electron configuration as the preceding noble gas element
Group 2A Alkaline Earth Metals:
All alkaline earth metal elements tend to lose 2 electrons to form 2+ cations with the same electron configuration as the preceding noble gas element
Group 17 Halogens:
- All halogen elements tend to gain 1 electron to form 1 anion with the same electron configuration as the next noble gas element

Bonding electrons
Valence electrons that are shared between two nuclei in a covalent bond
Nonbonding electrons
Valence electrons that are not involved in a bond (ione pairs)
Single covalent bond
Two atoms that share 1 pair of valence electrons
Single covalent bond
Two atoms that share 1 pair of valence electrons
Double covalent bond
Two atoms that share 2 pairs of valence electrons
Triple covalent bond
Two atoms that share 3 pairs of electrons
Coordinate covalent bond
a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons come from the same atom.
Non oxyacids
Contain hydrogen and one or more non metals, but not oxygen
Oxyanions
Polyatomic ions containing oxygen. When writing, add suffix ATE
Ionic bond
Force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Ionic compound
Compound composed of oppositely charged ions
Ionic lattice
Ionic compounds that contain many cations and anions packed together in a structure of alternating positive and negative charges that stretch out in three dimensions
Chemical formula
Tells us how many atoms of each element are in a compound
Empirical formula
Tells us the smallest number of ions necessary to form a compound
Covalent bond
When two nonmetal atoms come together
The Magnificent Seven (Elements that form Diatomic Molecules)

Solution
Result of when a substance such as salt or sugar mixes with water and disperses through the liquid to form a homogeneous mixture
Aqueous solution
If the liquid is water
