sig figs rules
- non-zeros are always significant - zeroes between non-zeroes are significant - zeroes before the first non-zero are not significant - zeroes at the end of a decimal are significant
89
multiplication and division sig figs
result has the same number of sig figs as the number in the question with the fewest amount
90
addition and subtraction sig figs
result has the same number of places after the decimal point as the number with the fewest number after the decimal
91
density units
- g/mL (liquids) - g/cm^3 (solids)
92
daltons atomic theory of matter
- all matter is made of atoms - atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties - atoms can't be subdivided, created, or destroyed - atoms combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form compounds - law of conservation of mass, law of multiple proportions, law of constant composition
93
law of conservation of mass
- mass can't be created or destroyed, only changed in arrangement - the total mass of substances remains constant during a reaction
94
law of multiple proportions
if elements A and B react to form more than one compound, the different masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A can be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers
95
law of constant composition
the composition of a given compound does not change – any sample will have the same mass percentages of its component elements
96
where to find atomic number
the number on top of the element symbol
97
where to find mass number
number below the element symbol
98
how to find protons
protons= atomic number (number on top of the element)
99
how to find electrons in an atom
electrons are the same as protons in an atom because they have a neutral charge (number on top of the element)
100
how to find neutrons
mass number - atomic number (number on the bottom - number on the top)
101
how to find atomic weight in amu
convert abundance to a decimal/ fraction and multiply it by the mass of each isotope, then add all the numbers together

131
assigning oxidation numbers
1. Pure elements (including those that exist as diatomics) are assigned a zero for their ON. 2. Monatomic ions have an ON equal to their common charge. * Metals always have a positive charge. * Group 1A metals have an ON = +1 * Group 2A metals have an ON = +2 * Other metals often have a charge equal to their group number on the Periodic Table (NOTE: This is not true for elements like the transition metals that have more than one oxidation number.). 3. The ON of a non-metal depends on what other elements it is bonded to, but can be assigned in the following order: * Fluorine (F) has an ON of -1, ALWAYS! * Hydrogen (H) has an ON of +1 (Note: H has an ON of -1 when bound to a metal). * Oxygen has an ON of -2 (Note: O has an ON of +2 when bound to F, O has an ON of -1 in peroxide and -1/2 in superoxides). * Halogens (Group 7A) have an ON of -1. * The most electronegative atom is assigned a charge first (equal to that of its common charge) if all the atoms in a compound are non-metals. 4. The sum of all the ONs in a compound/ion must add up to the overall charge of the compound/ion. For neutral compounds, this charge is zero
132
naming ionic compounds
Write the name of the cation (positively-charged ion, often a metal) first. * If the cation is a polyatomic ion, write the name of the polyatomic cation as is. * If the cation is a transition metal or a metal that has more than one oxidation number, put the charge in Roman numerals after the metal in parentheses. o Ag, Zn, Cd are all transition metals but only have ONE oxidation number so a Roman numeral is not needed. 2. Write the name of the anion (negatively-charged ion, often a nonmetal) second. * If the anion is an element, write the name of the element, with the –ide ending (drop the last syllable and add –ide), after the cation. * If the anion is a polyatomic ion, write the name of the polyatomic anion as is after the cation.
133
naming molecular compounds
Prefix-first atom (**The prefix mono- is NOT included on the first atom.) * Prefixes: mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca- * If there is only one of the first atom in the molecular compound, the mono- prefix is dropped. 2. Prefix-second atom root-ide * Prefixes: mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca- * Drop “o” or “a” from the prefix if the element begins with a vowel
