Definition
m/o cation (metal)+ anion (nonmetal) thru ionic bond (opps attracted). electrically neutral
Term
nomenclature: binary ionic cmpds
Definition

1. name metal cation

 

2. nonmetal anion:

if monatomic, add "-ide"

if polyatomic, just say name

Term

Definition

1. identify metal/nonmetal

 

2. find their charges (groups on pdic tbl)

 

3. crisscross charges -> sub/superscript

molecule

(def+ 1 nt)

2 or more atoms joined by covalent bond.

 

not nec bigger th atom (U atom bigger th H mol)

Term

if hay tie (sm group), one closest to bottom

 

2. G prefix-(2nd el)-ide

never use "mono"

Term

methane ethane propane butane

(pentane hexane heptane...)

 

2. # H's= 2(# C's)+2

Hydro-(root el nm)-ic acid
Term

nomenclature: oxoacids

(2 steps+ 2 nts)

Definition

1. name anion

-ate -> -ic

-ite -> -ous

 

2. add "acid"

 

ex: HNO3= nitric acid

Term
nomenclature: oxoacid families
Definition

"ic acid"+ 1 O= "per...ic acid"

ex: perchloric acid

 

"ic acid"-1 O= "ous acid"

ex: chlorous acid

 

"ic acid"-2 O's= "hypo...ous acid"

ex: hypochlorous acid

Term

Term
(3)fundl law: conservation of mass
Definition

matter is neither created nor destroyed

 

dalton: atoms cant be sep.ed, destroyed, or turned into other kinds of atoms. chem reactions are just the rearrangement of atoms

Term
(4)fundl law: definite composition
Definition

if you break down sub into its components, always same ratios of els

 

dalton: atoms combine in spec ratios and have spec masses. ea el has fixed fraction of cmpd's mass

Term
(3)fundl law: multiple proportions (LMP)
Definition

if you change ratios of pure subs you get diff compds. complementary to fundl law of def comp

 

dalton: sm kinds of atoms have sm masses. atoms combine in small, whole-# ratios

Term

(2) daltons atomic theory postulates

besides those ya named in fund law cards

Definition

all matter is m/o atoms

 

 

atoms cant bli diff kinds of atoms thru chem reactions

(but can bind to make cmpds)

 

Term
