If elements are in the same period what do they have the same number of?
Energy levels (valence shells)
Elements in the same group have the same number of…..
Valence electrons
Compounds that involve the transfer of electrons are…
Ionic compounds
When showing this, use arrows to show the electron acceptor and donor
What are ionic compounds composed of?
Non-metal and a metal
Compounds that involve the SHARING of electrons is…
Covalent or molecular compounds
When showing this, use bubbles
What are covalent compounds (or molecular) compounds composed of?
2 non-metals
What is a diatomic molecule?
A diatomic molecule is an element that when by themselves need to have 2 atoms present. They create a gas.
What are the different diatomic molecules?
HOFBrINCl
What are the defining characteristics of acids?
- conduct electricity
- taste sour (if they can be tasted)
- can cause severe burns (strong acids)
What is acids pH range?
0-6
How can you tell if it is an acid?
If the first element in a compound is hydrogen. Ex. HCl
What are 3 defining characteristics of bases?
- conduct electricity
- taste bitter
- feel slippery
- can cause severe burns (strong bases)
What is the pH range for bases?
8-14
How can you tell if a element is a base by looking at just a formula?
OH will be in the end of the formula. OH is hydroxide.
What 2 elements are found in all organic compounds?
carbon and hydrogen

What is the basic form of a combustion reaction?
C_H_
C_H_ + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
What type of combustion occurs when there is a plentiful supply of O2?
Complete combustion
What type of combustions occurs when there is a limited supply of O2?
Incomplete combustion
What is the basic word equation for a neutralization reaction?
Acid +base -> water + salt
What is a multivalent element?
An element with more than one possible charge,
They are most likely found in transition metals family located in the middle of the table.
