Term 2 Chemistry - Advanced Chemistry Flashcards
Cations and anions
Cations = positively charged ions
Anions = negatively charged ions
Multivalent metals
meaning some metals form two or more different positive ions with different charges
e.g. Fe(^2+) and Fe(^3+)
Covalent compounds
- 2 nonmetals
- sharing of electrons
Ionic compounds
- Metal and nonmetal
- Transferring of electron
Groups 1, 2, 13
(Ionic bonding)
> Cations (+)
Lose electrons
G1 (+), G2 (2+), G13 (3+)
Groups 15, 16, 17
> Anions (-)
Gain electrons
G15 (-), G16 (2-), G17 (3-)
Naming covalent compounds
- Write the name of the first nonmetal
- Write the name of the second nonmetal changing its ending to -ide
- Add prefixes to specify how many of each element are present
Diatomic elements
H2 = Have
N2 = No
F2 = Fear
O2 = Of
I2 = Ice
Cl2 = Cold
Br2 = Beer
