Does a cation ion lose or gain electrons? What is its charge?
Cation’s lose electrons. The charge is positive.
Does a anion lose or gain electrons? What is its charge?
Anions gain electrons. The charge is negative.
What is a polyatomic ion?
A group of atoms covalently bound together with an overall charge. [If it had a negative charge, it would be a polyatomic anion. If it were positive, it would be a polyatomic cation.]

When do you use greek prefixes to name compounds?
When they are binary molecular compounds
In terms of greek prefixes, how is “mono” to be used?
Can only be applied to the second element in the compound BUT ONLY if there is only 1 of the first element.
The formula of an acid always begins with what atom?
Hydrogen
How do you say HF(aq)
Hydroflouric Acid
How do you say H2S(aq)
Hydrosulfuric Acid
In naming Ternary Oxyacids, what suffix do you use if the oxyanion ends in “-ate”? For example, HNO3(aq)?
- IC ACID
- Nitric Acid
In naming Ternary Oxyacids, what suffix do you use if the oxyanion ends in “-ite”? For example, HNO2(aq)?
- OUS ACID
- Nitrous Acid
What are electrons found close to the nucleus called?
Core electrons
What are the outermost electrons called? What energy sub levels do they land on?
- Valence electrons
- S & P sub levels
What are the electrons called that are responsible for holding atoms together in a chemical bond?
Valence
This rule says that when atoms bond, they do so in a manner where they end up with 8 electrons on the outershell
Octet rule
What are the two ways an atom can share electrons?
- By transfer of electrons from one atom to another
- By sharing of electrons
What is an ionic bond?
A bond formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons causing the atoms to have either a positive or negative charge
What is a covalent bond?
A bond formed when atoms share electrons to form molecular compounds
Ionic bonds are formed between what?
Cations & Anions
Ionic bonds are strong and result in the formation of _, _ _.
Rigid, crystalline structure.
Is a cation larger or smaller than its starting atom?
Smaller
Is an anion larger or smaller than its starting atom?
Larger
What is needed to break a covalent bond?
Bond energy
What are the electrons called that are being shared by atoms?
Bonding Electrons
In a covalent bond, what are the electrons that are not being shared called?
Nonbonding electrons or lone pairs.
How do you easily calculate the total number of electron pairs in a compound?
Add all valence electrons and divide by 2
What is the phenomenon called where you are able to freely build a double bond between any of the atoms in a single compound?
Resonance
What does it mean when a bond is polarized?
One of the atoms in the bond is holding the bonding elections more tightly than the other atom
What is a polar covalent bond?
A bond in which the electrons are not shared equally
In a polar covalent bond, how can you tell which atom is the atom that is holding on more tightly to the bonded electrons?
The atom that is more electronegative
What is the most electronegative atom?
Fluorine
How is a polar bond indicated?
Delta
When is a bond considered a non polar bond?
When the electronegativity is less than 0.5
Do the Diatomic Halogen Molecules have polar or non polar bonds?
Nonpolar
When is a Hydrogen bond present?
When the molecule has an N-H,O-H, or F-H bond.
What is the theory called that says that electron pairs surrounding an atom repel each other?
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory
What is the difference between Electron Pair Geometry & Molecular Shape?
- Electron Pair Geometry: indicates how both bonding and nonbonding ELECTRON PAIRS are arranged around the central atom
- Molecular Shape: gives the arrangement of the ATOMS around the central atom as a result of electron repulsion.
What theory can be used to predict the shape of molecules?
VSEPR Theory
What are the ways to tell if a chemical reaction has occurred?
