Rememberrrr Flashcards
What is a chemical bond?
the force that holds atoms together, like super glue but a lot stronger
Ionic Bonds are between what kinds of elements?
Metals(+) and (-)non metals
Do ionic bonds share electrons between atoms?
No, one gains and one loses
Covalent Bonds are between what kinds of elements?
Nonmetal(-) and Nonmetal (-)
Do covalent bonds share electrons?
Yes covalent bonds are wise therefore share electrons, there is no loser
What is a compound?
Two or more DIFFERENT atoms
What is a molecule?
two or more atoms whether the same or different
Empirical Formula = ?
Simplest ratio/Simplest form
What is the empirical formula of C5 H10 O5 ?
CH2O
What elements in periodic table have atoms available as two?
Hydrogen H, Nitrogen N, Oxygen O, Fluorine F, Chlorine Cl, Bromine Br, Iodine I
(these are all 2)
What elements in the periodic table have atoms available as MORE than two?
Phosphorus 4, Silicone 8, Selenium 8
Group 1a has what charge
+1
What are the rules for writing the formula of ionic compounds?
- Start w metal and end w nonmetal
- Assign Charges (based on group) (sometimes they can have multiple and it will tell you)
- Flip numbers and delete SIGNS (no -)
- Simplify if possible
Group 2a has what charge
+2
Group 3a has what charge
+3
