Q

What does the atomic number represent?

Study These Flashcards
A

Number of protons.

23
Q

What does the atomic mass represent?

Study These Flashcards
A

A total number of protons and neutrons.

24
Q

What are the energy levels?

What is the valence shell?

Study These Flashcards
A

Energy levels are the things that hold electrons.

Each level can hold a certain amount of electrons

It goes 2,8,8,8 (first level to 4th level)

The valence shell is the outermost shell that did or does have electrons.

25
What are isotopes?
Same element different amount of neutrons. All isotopes are radioactive. The average amount (in the environment) and average mass of isotopes (plus the element) make the atomic number. All isotopes are radioactive.
26
When does an atom become stable?
When it has a full valence shell.
27
What is an ion?
It is when atoms lose or gain electrons to become stable. (Like Nobel gases) This is called the duplet (2 electrons or energy level one), octate rule (8 the rest of the energy levels). This makes the ion positively (loses electrons) or negatively (gains elections) charg ed.
28
How do you name ionic compounds?
Cation, anion-ide Example: sodium and fluorine = sodium fluoride (Must be in lowercase letters)
29
How to create ionic compounds
Ionic compounds must have zero charge. You take two atoms make then a cation and a anion and you put them together in the lowest ratio to become stable.
30
What is a cation?
It is a positive ion (fewer electrons than normal).
31
What is a anion
A negatively charged ion (more electrons than usual)
32
What is a polyatomic ion?
Is a group of atoms covalently bonded to create a unit with a charge. These replace a cation or an anion in an ionic compound. (Usually a caution) Do not use prefix -ide when putting them in ionic compounds. Ex: NH4, OH,
33
Which charge do you use for ions?
Always use the MOST COMMON one unless instructed otherwise.
34
What are molecular compounds?
They share electrons to complete their outer shell to become stable. Always non-metals. They do this to make fulfill the duplet or octate rule.
35
What are molecular elements?
Molecules with only one kind of atom. These are both diatomic and polyatomic elements.
36
What are Diatonic elements?
Elements that exist in the world as groups of two These include: H2(g) N2(g) O2(g) F2(g) Cl2(g) Br2(l) I2(s)
37
What are Polyatomic elements?
Same as diatonic but it is more then 2. O3(g) P4(s) S8(s)
38
What are the prefixes for molecular compounds?
(Based on how many atoms and that there is no hydrogen involved) Do not use mono for the first atom and use -ide at the end. ``` 1 mono 10 deca 2 di 9 nona 3 tri 8 octa 4 tetra 5 penta 6 hexa 7 hepta ``` Ex. Tetraphosphorus decaoxide (P4 + O10)
39
Molecules with hydrogen which has names you need to remember
Check chart!!!
40
How to names acids ( IUPAC name)?
You put aqueous + molecule or element name + acid In acids, you balance charges like ionic compounds (with hydrogen being cation) even though there molecular.
41
Properties of bases?
Ionic compounds with a cation and a hydroxide (OH)
42
S8 is?
Sulfur molecule (same with all other molecular elements).
43
Acids that need to be memorize
Sulfuric acid = H2SO4 Hydrochloric acid = HCl Nitric acid = HNO3
44
How to name just an ion?
Metals = name + ion Non-metals = name-ide + ion
45
What are the Solubility properties of ionic compounds?
They are solid at room temp. High boiling and melting points When they're put in water and are highly soluble in water their states become aqueous (aq). Compounds Less soluble in the water stay solid (s). (Use a solubility chart to find if an ionic compound is soluble)
46
What are formation reactions?
Element + element = compound A + B = AB (Remember states)
47
What are the Three different types of ways to display reactions?
Word equation: sulphur + oxygen = sulfur dioxide Skeleton equation: S8 + O2 = SO2 Balanced equation: S8 + 8 O2 = 8 SO2 (Remember states for both skeleton and balanced equation)
48
What is a decomposition reaction
Compound = element + element BA = B + A (Remember states )
49
What is a decomposition reaction
Compound = element + element BA = B + A (Remember states)
50
What is a hydrocarbon combustion reaction?
Cx + Hy + O2 = CO2 + H2O (Where x and y are variables) (Remember states) (Water is always a gas in these reactions)
51
What is the alkane formula?
CxH(2x+2) ( always ends in -ane) CH4 = methane C2H6 = ethane C3H8 = propane C4H10 = butane (Continues as liquids instead of gases, and with molecular naming prefixes) C5H12 = pentane
52
What are Single replacement reactions?
A(Metal/Non-metal) + BC = B + AC or C + BA (depending if it is a metal or not) (Remember states)
53
What is double replacement reaction?
AB + CD = AD + BD | Remember states
