Unit 3 and 4 Flashcards
What did John Dalton do?
- Determined atomic masses of elements
- Found how elements combine to form compounds
- Chemical formulas show characteristic proportions
The ratio of the two masses of one element that react with a given mass of another element to form two different compounds is the ratio of two small whole numbers
Law of multiple proportions
Composed of atoms held together in molecules by covalent bonds
Molecular compound
What are the building blocks of molecular compounds?
Molecules containing atoms of 2 Nonmetals
A bond between two atoms created by sharing one of more pairs of electrons
Covalent bond
Nonmetal oxides found in atmosphere
CO2, H2O, SO3, SO2, NO
A notation showing the number and type of atoms present in one molecule of a molecular compound
Molecular formula
A compound composed of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic attraction
Ionic compound
What two things form an ionic compound?
Metallic element and nonmetal
A positively charged particle created when an atom of molecule loses one or more electrons
Cation
A negatively charged particle created when an atom or molecule gains one of more electrons
Anion
A formula showing the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound
Empirical formula
The smallest electrically neutral unit of an ionic compound
Formula unit
Group 1 of periodic table
Lose 1 electron and form 1+ ions
Group 2 of periodic table
Lose 2 electrons and form 2+ ions
Group 13 of periodic table
Lose 3 electrons and form 3+ ions
As metallic elements lose electrons in forming ionic compounds, their nonmetallic partners (blank) so overall charge = zero
Gain them
