Outcomes 3.4 - 3.6 (Test on Monday, January 25, 2016) Flashcards
What element is a Anion?
a Non-Metal
What is the Symbol for Carbon tetrachloride?
CCl4
How are Polytomic atoms bonded together?
Elements in group 17 will lose/gain howmany electrons? What would their charge be?
They will gain 1 electrons
They wil have a charge of -1
What type of metals in the periodic table of elements are able to form more than one kind of ion?
The transition metals
Do metals bond to form a compound?
no
How to name Ions when it is a cation?
We use the name of the element, followed by the word “ion”
Example: Aluminum ion, Magnesium ion, Lithium ion
Elements in group 18 will lose/gain howmany electrons? What would their charge be?
They will lose/gain no electrons
They have no charge
Elements in group 13 will lose/gain howmany electrons? What would their charge be?
They will lose 3 electron
They wil have a charge of +3
What is the goal of each atom in the compound?
Is to fill its valence shell
What does the roman numeral at the end of the transition metalès name represent?
Its charge
For Ex;
Nickel III Bromide – The charge of the nickel is 3+
Typically, atoms with this amount of valence electrons will gain electrons?
more than 4 valence electrons
What do chemical formulas tell us about?
Chemical formulas tell us the ratio of the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
Compounds often have what properties?
Compounds often have properties that are VERY DIFFRENT from elements they are made of. For example, water is a liquid at room temperature, but its constituents, oxygen and hydrogen, are both gases at room temperature.
What is the Anion name of Fluorine?
Fluoride
Why does the process of atoms gaining/losing atoms happen?
Because they have a desire to fill their valence shell
What is the charge of a Cation?
Positive
Cations Lose of Gain electrons?
Lose
In the compounds that had ionic bonds, what did you notice about where the metal was in the formula?
The metal is always the first element in the compound
How do atoms become ions when they lose or gain electrons?
It happens because the number of positively charged particles (protons) and negatively charged particles (electrons) are NO LONGER EQUAL
What happens to Calcium during Ionic bonding? How do we know?
It will lose 2 elctrons while gaing 2 positive charges
Because calcium has 2 valence electrons
Elements in group 16 will lose/gain howmany electrons? What would their charge be?
They will gain 2 electrons
They wil have a charge of -2
What are the three ways that elements can obtain a full valence shell?
They can gain valence electrons
They can lose valence electrons
They can share valence electrons
What are the two ways that atoms can bond or combine?
Covalently or Ionically
How does ionic bonds occur?
They occur when electrons transfer from one atom to another.
What happens when atoms gain or lose electrons?
They become ions
