Ionic bonds
formed between a metal (cation) and non -metal (anion) and complete transfer of electrons
What happens when ionic compounds are in a liquid state?
The atoms can move around and create electricity
Nomenclature
A collection of rules for naming things
Monoatomic ions
Ions that are formed from only one atom
Polyatomic ions
electrically charged molecules
Oxyanions
Polyatomic anions that contain one or more oxygen atoms
How to identify polyatomic ion in a compound?
Put it in parantheses to show it does not separate
Covalent bonds
two atoms share valence electrons and those shared electrons form the chemical bond
IUPAC
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry; nomenclature
term bis-, di-
indicates that there are two ions present
IUPAC for CoPO₄
cobalt(III) phosphate
Hydrate
When a compound is bonded to water molecules
What are roman numerals used for?
To refer to something by its oxidation state (charge)

when to use roman numerals
Used for metals that can form cations (positive ions) with different charges, such as some (but not all) transition metal cations
Suffix for oxyanions
“ate” is used for the oxyanion with more oxygen atoms.
“ite” is used for the oxyanion with fewer oxygen atoms
aq
acid
ClO4
Perchloric
Heteronuclear
Two different nuclei in a molecule
Polar covalent bond
one atom in the bond has higher electronegativity than the other atom
