14679924232 | Allotrope | One of two or more distinct forms of an element Ex, O2 vs O3 | 19 | |
14679927367 | Empirical formulas | Tells the elements present and the simplest whole number ratio of their atoms Simplest chem formulas (not truest) | 20 | |
14679932542 | metals vs nonmetals | Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity malleability, and ductility Tent to form positive ions Nonmetals: To the right of the stairs on the PT tend to gain electrons | 21 | |
14679934000 | Groups/Families | -Vertical columns -Have similar chemical properties -Different Families: Alkali metals (1A) Alkaline Earth Metals (2A) Halogens (7A) Noble Gases (8A) Monatomic: meaning the only exist in nature as a single atom | 22 | |
14679936212 | Periods | -Horizontal rows -By atomic number | 23 | |
14679939084 | 1. Naming Type I Binary Ionic Compounds | -Only consist of two elements -The cation is always named first then the anion second -Cation uses its normal name -Anion uses its root + ide Ex, NaCl = Sodium Chloride | 24 | |
14679940947 | 2. Naming Type II Binary Ionic Compounds | -For transition metals that have varying charge -Charge of the metal ion must be specified (use roman numeral) -Anion root + ide Ex. HgO = Mercury (II) oxide | 25 | |
14679943200 | Naming Compounds With Polyatomic Ions | -Special names of the polyatomic ions must be memorized -Oxyanions: anions containing an atom of a given elements and different numbers of oxygen atoms 1. Smallest number of oxygen ends in ite 2. Large number of oxygen ends in ate If there are more than 2 oxyanions making up the series: 1. Prefix hypo (less than) used for the least number of oxygen 2. Prefix Per (More than) used to name the members with the most oxygen atoms | 26 | |
14679945628 | 3. Naming Binary Covalent Compounds (Type III) | -Formed between two nonmetals 1. Prefix + Cation 2. Prefix + anion root + ide *Prefix indicate number of atoms*: Mono = 1 Di = 2 Tri = 3 tetra= 4 penta= 5 hexa= 6 hepta= 7 octa= 8 nona= 9 Deca = 10 Mono is never used for naming the first elements Drop the "o" or "a" before the prefix 3. ex, PCl5 = Phosphorus Pentacholride | 27 | |
