Compound |
A molecule that contains two or more different types of atoms or ions. |
|
Formula |
A formula shows the number and types of atoms in a substance. Ex: H2O = There are 2 elements which means that H2O is also a compound and a molecule. There are a total of 3 atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 1 Oxygen atom. |
|
Molecular formula |
Indicates the total number of atoms in one molecule. Ex: H2O = 3 total atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 1 Oxygen atom. |
|
Empirical formula |
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in the compound. EX: C6H12O6 = CH2O 1:2:1 |
|
IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) |
This organization has determined a set of rules to be used for naming chemicals. Its purpose is to set international guidelines so that all scientist follow the same rules.
|
|
Chemical bonding |
Chemical bonding is the force of attraction between atoms. |
|
Metalloid |
A non metallic element, such as Arsenic, that has some of the chemical properties of a metal or such as carbon that can form an alloy with metals. |
|
Covalent bonding |
Bonding that occurs between nonmetal atoms. A force of attraction causes the bond. There is a sharing of electrons between the atoms. |
|
Covalent |
Sharing of valence electrons. (Might not be right.) |
|
The unit formed by a covalent bond is called a molecule is neutral it has no charge. |
The unit formed by a covalent bond is called a molecule is neutral it has no charge. |
|
Ionic bonding |
A bond caused by a force of attraction between metal and nonmetal ions. |
|
Ion |
A charged particle. An atom with a charge. Ex Na atom Na+ = ion |
|
There are two types of charges on ions |
There are two types of charges on ions |
|
Positive charges are called |
Cations. Ex Ca2+, Na1+, H1+ |
|
Negative charges are called |
Anions Ex O2-, N3-, Cl1- |
|
How are ions created? |
Ions are created when atoms gain or lose electrons. This causes an imbalance between the number of protons (+) and electrons (-) in an atom resulting in a charge on the atom. |
|
Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions. |
Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions. |
|
Nonmetal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged. |
Nonmetal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged. |
|
Polyatomic ions |
These are ions that exist as a group of atoms held together. There is only one charge (+ or -) on the entire group. These are not found in the periodic table but in the table of polyatomic ions. |
