(84 cards)
The properties of a compound are ____ from the constituent elements.
Totally different (think H20 vs 0)
____ ____ are forces of attraction between atoms.
Chemical bonds
The bonding attraction comes from attraction between ____ and ____.
Protons and Electrons
___ bonds result when electrons have been transferred between atoms.
Ionic
When do Ionic bonds generally occur?
When metal atoms bond to nonmetal atoms.
____ bonds result when two atoms share some of their electrons.
Covalent
When do covalent bonds generally occur?
When nonmetal atoms bond together.
The number of ____ is written to the right of the element as a subscript.
Atoms
- Gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound.
- Does not describe how many atoms, the order of attachment, or shape.
- Used for ionic compounds
Empirical Formula
- Gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound.
- Does not describe the order of attachment, or the shape.
Molecular Formula
- Uses lines to represent covalent bonds and shows how atoms in a molecule are connected or bonded to each other.
- does not directly describe the 3D shape.
Structural Formula
Uses balls to represent the atoms and sticks to represent the attachments between them.
Ball-and-stick Models
Uses interconnected spheres to show the electron clouds of atoms connecting together.
Space-filling Models
Elements whose particles are single atoms
Atomic Elements
Elements whose particles are multi-atom molecules
Molecular Elements
Compounds whose particles are molecules made of only nonmetals
Molecular Compounds
Compounds whose particles are cations and anions
Ionic Compounds
____ elements occur as 2 atom molecules.
Diatomic
What is the rule of 7?
- Remember Hydrogen
- Go to Nitrogen (7)
- Move 2 to the side and then 3 down
- this creates a 7

5) Carbon Monoxide, CO
6) Cobalt, Co
1) Atomic Element
2) Ionic compound
3) Molecular Element
4) Molecular Compound
5) Molecular Compound
6) Atomic Element
Because we must balance the charge, if Na+ is combined with S2-, you will need ____ Na+ ions for every ____ S2-, therefore the formula must be ___
2 Na+ for every 1 S2-, resulting in Na2S
What is the Formula steps for Ionic Compounds?
1) Write the Symbol for the Metal cation and it’s charge
2) Write the Symbol for the nonmetal anion and it’s charge
3) Charge (without sign) becomes subscript for the other ion
4) Reduce subscripts to smallest whole number ratio
5) Check that the sum of the charges of the cations cancels the sum of the anions
What are the formulas for compounds made of the following ions?
1) Potassium ion with a nitride ion
2) Calcium ion with a bromide ion
3) Aluminum ion with a sulfide ion
1) K3N
2) CaBr2
3) Al2S3
To name a cation:
1) Metal with invariant charge =
2) Metal with variable charge=
3) Polyatomic ion =
1) Metal name
2) Metal name (charge)
3) Memorize
