Term
Naming Cations
Definition
1. for small main group metals name the element followed by 'ion'
2. for all other metals name the element, then give the charge then 'ion'
Term
Naming Anions
Definition
name the element changing the ending to ide, then 'ion'
Term
"ium" ending
Definition
cation
Term
"ate" or "ite" ending
Definition
oxygen
Term
Naming Ionic Compounds
Definition
1. name the cation
2. then name anion
3. do not indicate #s of ions
Term
Writing Compounds from Name
Definition
1. write the ions (with charge)
2. put them together by charge
Term
% Composition
Definition
1. % are g
2. convert each element from g to m

4. get whole number rations for the empirical formulas
Term
Empirical Formula to Molecular Formula
Definition
1. calculate the formula mass from the empirical formula
2. Divide the molecular weight by formula mass
3. Multiply the empirical formula by the ratio
Term
Combustion Data on molecules with only H and C
Definition
1. get moles of C from CO2
2. get moles of H from H2O
3. Divide by the lowest number of moles
4. get whole number ratios
Term
Combustion Data for a Carbon, H, and O molecule
Definition
1. get mass of C from CO2
2. get mass of H from H2O
3. Subtract mass of C and H from total mass
4. convert all mass to moles
5. divide lowest number of moles
6. get whole number ratios
Term
Naming (small) Covalent Molecule (non-metal)
Definition
1. name first element
2. Name second element, changing ending to "ide"
3. use prefixes to indicate numbers of each element (don't use mono for first element)
Term
Acid
Definition
donates a Hydrogen Ion H+
Term
Base
Definition
Donates an OH- ion
Term
Naming Acids (without oxygen)
Definition
1. name the hydrogen as Hydro
2. name the anion changing the ending to "ic"
Term
Naming Acids (with oxygen)
Definition
1. don't name the hydrogen
2. name the anion changing the ending:
ite....ous
ate....ic
Term
Stoichiometry
Definition
1. get info in the problem
2. get a balenced equation
3. get molecular weight
4. set calculation
Term
Theoretical Yeild

3. trade partners
4. put weak acids/bases back together
5. balence
6. break aqueous products into ions
7. cancel spectator ions
8. write net ionic
Term
Gas Forming Reactions
Definition
1. get reactants
2. break (aq) reactants into ions
3.trade partners
4. write products, balence
5. replace intermediates with water and gas
6. break (aq) products into ions
7. cancel spectator ions
8. wirte net ionic
Term
Reduction Oxidation Reactions (movement of electrons)
Redox
Definition
1.the oxidation number of a purte element is zero
2. the oxidation number of a monatomic ion is the charge on the ion
3. the oxidations nymbers of a compoind add up to zero
4. the oxidation mubmer of a polytomic ion add up to the charge on the ion
5. the oxidation of fluorine is -1, all other halogens have an oxidation number of -1 unless its with fluorine or oxygen
6. hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 when with a non metal, with a metal it is -1
7 oxygen has an oxidation of -2 unless it is a peroxide, then it is -1
