Classification of molecules and compounds by the number of atoms, type of compound and elements:
CuO
By # of atoms:
Diatomic
Type of compound:
Ionic
# of elements: Binary
A formula is binary when…
The number of elements is equal to 2
How do I know if a formula is ionic or covalent?
If it is ionic the first element should be metal.
If its covalent the first element should be non-metal.
Anions are:
Negative ions
Cations are:
Positive ions
What are the greek prefixes?
Mono-1 Di-2 Tri-3 Tetra-4 Penta-5 Hexa-6 Hepta-7 Octa-8 Nona-9 Deca-10
A physical change…
Does not produce new substances
In a chemical change…
One or more substances change into new ones
Change in properties:
Change in color, in odor, formation of bubbles, formation of a precipitate.
A change in energy:
Warming or cooling
Release of light
What happens in a chemical reaction?
Atoms are rearranged and form new substances.
Bonds break and new bonds form.
What is the chemical equation?
Reactant + Reactant -> product + product
Which is a sign of chemical reaction?
Chemical properties change
Explain why subscripts can’t change when balancing a chemical equation
Because only coefficient can change
Is the reaction below possible?
H2O + NaOH -> NaCl + H2
It can’t be done bc there are different elements on each side
