Chapter 4 Flashcards
(26 cards)
molecular molar mass
g molecule/mol molecule
percentages of elements or molecules
mass element/mass molecule x100
emperical formula
simplest form of the true formula, where integers are reduced by a common denominator
true formula
actual number of elements in a molecule
combustion reaction
sample+O2(g)—>CO2(g)+H2O(l)
before arrow=starting materials/reactants
after arrow=products
the law of conservation of mass
no atoms are created/destroyed(this lets you determine the g/mol/etc… of each element you have in the combustion reaction)
nomenclature
naming of molecules
nomenclature inorganic naming (metal/nonmetal)
- binary compounds (two elements)
- metal comes first in the naming and is the same name as what is found on the periodic table (more electropositive=first-the metal will always carry a + charge)
- nonmetal comes last in the naming, and they will have a suffix change to it–>ide (more electronegative=last-the nonmetal carries a - charge)
Group 1A charge
+1
Group 2A charge
+2
Group 3A charge
+3
Group 7A charge
-1
Group 6A charge
-2
Group 5A charge
-3
nomenclature inorganic naming (transition metals/nonmetals)
- transition metals do not have definitie charge-they have more than one possible + charge
- when naming you write metal and then nonmetal
- two naming systems for transition metals
1) Roman numeral
2) Latin naming system
Roman numeral naming system for transition metals
a roman numeral follows the metal name indicating the charge on the metal +
latin naming system for transition metals
suffix change of -ous is lower + charge on metal OR -ic is higher + charge on metal
nomenclature organic compound naming (nonmetal/nonmetal)
- more electropositive element is first in the naming (name off periodic table)
- more electronegative element is last in the naming (-ide suffix change)
- greek prefixes are used to tell us how many of the element we have
greek prefix for 1
mono
greek prefix for 2
di
greek prefix for 3
tri
greek prefix for 4
tetra
greek prefix for 5
penta
greek prefix for 6
hexa
