Term
Anion
Definition
A negatively charged ion with a noble gas configuration, such as CL-, O2-, of S2-
Term
Bonding Pair
Definition
A pair of electrons shared between two atoms
Term
Cation
Definition
A positively charged ion iwth a noble gas configuration, such as Na+, Mg2+, or Al3+
Term
Compound
Definition
A combination of atoms in which noble gas arrangements are attained through electron transfer
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
A sharing of valence electrons by atoms
Term
Covalent Compound
Definition
A combination of atoms in which noble has arrangements are attained by electron sharing.
Term
Formula
Definition
The group of symbols representing the elemtns in a compound with subscripts for the number of each
Term
Ion
Definition
An atom or group of atoms having an electrical charge because of a loss or gain of electrons
Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
The attraction between oppositely charged ions
Term
Ionic charge
Definition
The difference between the number of protons (positive) and the number of electrons (negative), written in the opper right corner of the symbol of the ion
Term
Ionic Compound
Definition
A compound of positive and negative ions held together by ionic bonds
Term
Ionic Pair
Definition
Electrons in a molecule that are not shared in a bond, but complete the octet for an element
Term
Octet Rule
Definition
Representative elements react wtih other elements to produce a noble has configuration with 8 valence electrons
Term
Polyatomic Ion
Definition
A group of atoms that has an electrical charge
Term
Naming Covalent Compounds
Definition
first element + ide with prefixes if more than one molecule.

i.e.:
CO
Carbon Monoxide
P2O5
DiPhosphorous Pentoxide

Exceptions:
h20: Water
NH3: Ammonia
CH4: Methane

Term
Anions
Definition
A nonmetal ion is named by changing the end if it's name to ide.
Cl, gains an electron, has a Negative charge, chloride
Term
Ion electron arrangements
Definition
Positive and Negative Ions have the same electron arrangement as the nearest noble gases.

1a, 2a, and 3, (Al only), take form of noble gases to the left.

5a (N3-, P3-)m 6A (02-, S2-), 7a take octet arrangement of noble gas to its right.
Term
Cations
Definition
Positive metal ions are named by its element name.
Mg2+ is the magnesium ion.
Term
Ionic Compounds balancing
Definition
The sum of the ionic charges in the formula of ionic compounds is always zero.
NaCl
1 +NA, and 1 - CL

Ionic charges do not appear in the formula of the compound

Mg loses 2 e, 2 Cl molecules each gain 1 e. MgCl2

In an ionic formula, the positive ion is written first, followed by the negative ion
Term
Metals that form more than 1 positive ion
Definition
Write them with roman numerals.

The transition metals in 3-12 and the metals in group 41 and 5a.

However, zinc, cadmium, and silver are fixed like 1a and 2a and 3a metals. Can just write their names when naming their ionic compounds.

When a roman numeral in parentheses is included, the selection of the right Roman numeral depends upon the charge of the metal in the formula.

Again these must equal zero in total balance.
Term
polyatomic ions- writing formulas
Definition
Total neg and pos. charges must equal zero.
WHen balancing charges, the ion is the first one in the arrangement: Co3. C is ion. No3. N is ion.
Mg2 + NO3-.
Two Nitrate ions are needed to balance.

Mg(No3)2

In Na+ and So42, The Sodium and sulfate ions are held together by ionic bonds.
Term
Naming polyatomic ions: prefixes and after-ixes
Definition
Ate ending is the most common name for polyatomic anions.
Ite ending is used for names of related ions that have one less O atom.

THe OH-, Hydroxide ion, and the CN-, the cyanide ion are exceptions.

SO4 is sulfate
S03 is sulfite

Elements in 7a, halogens, can form more than 2 types of polyatomic anions. Prefixes are added to the names and the ending is changed.
Per is used for the polyatomic ion with 1 more O atom than the ate form of the polyatomic ion.
The ending ate is changed to ite for the ion with one less O
Hypo prefix is used for the polyatomic ion with one less O than the ite form.
