Naming Test Flashcards
4 compounds on periodic table?
Acids - nonmetals
Bases- metals
Salt- Ternary compounds
Oxides
A covalent bond is…
Binary compounds of a nonmetal plus another nonmetal
Has prefixes tht identify the # of atoms of each element
Acids tht have “hydro” are…
Binary compounds
What are binary compounds?
Compounds of two elements, second element ends in “ide”
Ionic compounds…
Have a metal plus a nonmetal
How do you name binary ionic compounds?
First element (positive) second element (negative) and ends in “ide”
What is a hydrate?
A salt with water weakly attached
I.e: sodium sulfate • pentahydrate
To name hydrates you…
Name the salt plus prefix for moles of water plus hydrogen
A ternary compound…
Composed of two or more elements, both ionic and covalent, has a polyatomic ion
What is a polyatomic ion?
A group of atoms that act as a single atom with a charge
For acids ic and ous mean…?
Ic - ate
Ous- ite
For polyatomics how do ic’s and ous’s O2’s relate?
Ates have one more O2 than ites
Empirical formulas are?
Whole number ratios of elements in a given compound
In order to do an empirical formula you…?
Assume g sample if in %
Convert to moles (3 sig figs)
Divide each mole by smallest number of moles
Multiply by common whole number to get a whole number if needed
To find the molecular form…
Take the gram sample divided by the atomic mass of the empirical form
