Q

Covalent bond?

A
  • Sharing electrons between nonmetals
  • Prefixes indicate number of atoms of each element (mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona and deca)
  • How to name? First element = full name. Second element = first part of it’s name and adding -ide + prefixes if needed. (Ex: Dinitrogen trioxide)
  • Do not use the prefix mono when there is only one atom of the first element (ex: carbon monoxide)

Q

Ionic compounds?

A
  • Transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.
  • Results in a force of attraction between charged particules.
  • Metal and nonmetals.
  • Don’t add prefix with ionic bonds and read from left to read!
  • Ionic coumpouds are neutral, so net charge is always zero.

Q

What is an ion?

A

An atom or a group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge.

27
Q

Cation?

A
  • Lost an electron
  • Positively charged
  • Ex: Metals
28
Q

Anion?

A
  • Gained an electron
  • Negatively charged particule
  • Ex: nonmetals
29
Q

Type 1 ionic compound?

A
  • Type 1: metal can only form 1 type of cation
  • Cation is placed first and anion is placed second with the ending changing in -ide.
30
Q

Type 2 ionic compound?

A
  • Type 2: metal can form 2 or more cations of different charges
  • Charge is specified by using Roman numerals (in parentheses) following the name of the metal.
  • Name the anion like usual.
  • Ex: Fe2O3 = Iron (3) oxide
31

A

Charged species containing 2 or more atoms bound together.
- Have a charge ex: +/2+/-…
- Ex: NH4+, NO3-

33
Q

Atomic mass unit?

A
  • AMU is used because the mass of an atom is very small.
  • Relative to the mass of 1 atom of carbon-12
  • Avergae mass of all the isotopes of an element
34
Q

The Mole?

A
  • Established to count atoms because atoms are so small
  • Equals the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12.011 grams of carbon
  • 1 mole = 6.022 x 10*23 atoms (avogadro’s number)
