quantitative chemistry Flashcards
1
Q
law of conservation of mass
A
no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction so the mass of products equals the mass of the reactants
2
Q
when are ionic compounds formed
A
when metals react with non metals
3
Q
what are ions
A
atoms with a charge
4
Q
what kind of ions do metals form
A
positive
5
Q
what kind of ions do most non metals form
A
negative
6
Q
what does the charge of an ion determine? …. but watch out since certain metals do not follow this pattern. Give a example of what metals do not follow this pattern.
A
what group the ion is in in the periodic table
Transition metals do not follow this pattern (which can form several different ions)
