Unit B section 3 Flashcards
2 rules of naming compounds
- metal comes first
- last elements changes ending to ‘ide’
where is the physical state of a compund found in the formula
as a subscript in brackets
How is an aqueous substance identified in a chemical formula
(aq)
what is a molecular compound
2 or more non metals
what is an aqueous substance
dissolved in water
What is the system of naming compounds?
IUPAC international union of pure applied chemistry
what do subscripts in formulas tell us
-how many atoms are in the compound
who is naming of the compounds based on?
Guyton de Marveau
2 types of compounds
- ionic
- molecular
what is an ionic compound
metal and non metal
combination of 2 or more elements
compound
how are ionic compounds formed?
pure substances formed by the attraction between particles of opposite charges called ions
4 properties of ionic compounds
- solid at room temperature
- high melting point
- good electrical conductors
- distinct crystal shape
2 properties of ions
- formed when ionic compounds are dissolved in water
- an ion is an atom/group of atoms that become electrically charged due to loss or gain of electrons
catios
Positive ion
