Test One Worksheet 5 Molecular and Ionic Compounds Flashcards
Combustion Reaction:
Compound + O₂ → H₂0 + CO₂
Molecular Formula
Shows the exact number of atoms in one molecule
Structural Formula:
Shows how atoms are connected together
Naming Molecular Compounds:
1) The elements that combine to form binary molecular compounds are both nonmetals
2) Name the first element
3) Name the second element, changing the end of its name to -ide
4) Use prefixes to denote multiple atoms
5) Tips: Generally omit mono- for first element.
6) Oxides: If second element ends with vowel, eliminate the last letter of -o or -a in prefix when naming
