Term
Nonmetal oxide + metal oxide -->
Definition

the oxyanion of the nonmetal.

 

EXCEPTION: HALOGEN OXIDES

 

Note: If there's more than one common oxyanion of the nonmetal, choose the one that keeps the same oxidation number for the nonmetal.

Term
Metal oxide + carbon dioxide -->
Definition
metal carbonate
Term
Metal oxide + sulfur dioxide -->
Definition
metal sulfite
Term
Metal oxide + sulfur trioxide -->
Definition
metal sulfate
Term
Group 1 or 2 metal + nonmetal -->
Definition

compound

 

Note: Remember to check your charges! Think ionic compound formation from general chem.

Term
Nonmetal + nonmetal -->
Definition

compound.

 

Note: This is like a simple compound formation problem (check charges), but a little more complicated.


The oxidation number of the LESS ELECTRONEGATIVE NONMETAL changes depending on the conditions. An excess of the other nonmetal leads to a higher oxidation state. A limited amount of the other nonmetal means a lower oxidation state.


To find out which one is the less electronegative nonmetal, just use your handy dandy standard reduction potential chart.

Term
Nonmetal oxide + water -->
Definition

acid.

 

Note: Solve this the same way you'd solve for the formation of a salt.

Term
Metal oxide + water -->
Definition

base.

 

Note: Remember to ionize strong bases and leave weak bases together.
