chem part 2 Flashcards
what are ionic compounds
non-metal and metal formed together
how are ionic compounds formed?
- electron transfer
- ionic attraction
3.crystalization
what is electron transfer
non metal takes the valence electrons of metal
what is ionic attraction
metals turns into cations
nonmetals turn into anions
opposites attract (opposite charges)
what is crystallization
pulled together and rearrange into crystal or lattice shape
positive and negative charges are equal so the charge is neutral
criss cross method
cross charges from each compound to find subscripts for ionic formula
naming ionic compounds
cation name then anion name
4 points of ionic compounds
- always contain cations bonded to anions
- attracted by ionic bounds
- ionic bounds are very strong
- dry ionic compounds are solid at room temperature
how are ionic compounds bounded together?
bound between positive and negative particles
what are molecular compounds
non-metals combined together
how are molecular compounds formed?
non-metals atoms move close together and share valance electrons
5 points of molecular compounds
- non-metals bounded together
- no metallic atoms or ions
- bounds holding together called covalent bounds
- covalent bounds are not strong
- at room temperature, covalent bounds can be solid, liquid and gas
what are covalent bounds
sharing of valence electrons hold two atoms close together
ionization
acids when they dissolve in water and separate into ions
water
H20 (l)
