QuestionAnswer
The forces that hold 2 or more ions together in a compound Chemical Bonds
The way the compound atoms are bonded to make a compound Chemical Structure
The distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms Bond Length
When a compound has 3 or more atoms, this is the angle formed by 2 bonds to the same atom Bond Angle
What does a ball-and-stick model help you understand? A ball and stick model helps you understand a compound's STRUCTURE by showing you how the atoms or ions are ARRANGED in the compound (bond angle and length)
How are structure formulas created? By using the chemical symbols of the atoms
This type of model shows the relative size of atoms in a compound but not bond lengths Space-filling model
What is an advantage of using a ball-and-stick model to represent a compound? It shows the bond length and bond angle
What is an advantage of using a structural formulas model to represent a compound? It shows the chemical symbols of the compound
What is an advantage of using a space-filling model to represent a compound? It shows the relative sizes of atoms in the compound
What determines the properties of a compound? The chemical structure
T or F: Strong bonds make the melting point and boiling point of minerals very LOW F: HIGH
T or F: A very RIGID chemical structure result in HARD, inflexible minerals T
Do sugar molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than water molecules? Yes, that is what assists its physical property of "solid"
Do dihydrogen sulfide, a gas, have stronger or weaker molecule attractions to each other than water? Weaker
T or F: Higher melting and boiling points indicate that molecules have a stronger attraction to each other? T
When do atoms bond? When their valence electrons interact
When do atoms typically join to form bonds? To form a stable electron configuration (full outer shells)
What are the two basic kinds of chemical bonds? Ionic bonds and Covalent bonds
The attractive force between oppositely charged ions, which form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another Ionic Bond
Bonds that are formed by the TRANSFER of electrons Ionic Bonds
When a bond forms where one atom gains and another atom loses electron(s); what type of bond occurs Ionic Bond
T or F: The result of an ionic bond is one NEGATIVELY charged ion AND one POSITIVELY charged ion T
What "state" are ionic bonds in at room temperature? Solid
Are ionic bonds (NaCl) a network of ions or a molecule? A network of ions
What occurs when ionic bonds are melted or dissolved in water? They conduct electricity
What are the melting and boiling points of ionic bonds? (example: NaCl) very high
A bond formed when atoms SHARE one or more pairs of electrons Covalent Bond
Water and sugar are examples of what type of bond? Covalent Bond
Table Salt or Sodium Cloride (NaCl) is an example of what type of bond? Ionic Bond
Covalent bonds usually form between what type of atoms? Nonmetal atoms
Covalent bonds are in what "state" at room temperature? solid, liquid, or gas
What occurs to the valence electrons in a covalent bond? The valence electrons are SHARED
Why do most covalent compounds not conduct electricity? Because they are not "charged"
What holds two covalently bonded atoms together? A SHARED electron
Bonds in which electrons are shared equally are known as what? Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
An unequal sharing of electrons form what kind of covalent bond? Polar Covalent Bond
Can copper, when in a solid state, conduct electricity? Yes
Atoms that have ionic and covalent bonds (transfer and share electrons) Polyatomic Ions
Atoms that are covalently bonded (share electrons) that have a positive or negative charge as a group Polyatomic Ions
How are ionic compounds formed? Ionic compounds are formed by the strong attraction between oppositely charged particles, cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions)
What forms when an atom of the element sodium (Na) loses an electron? A sodium ion, Na+
What charge are ions of Group 1? 1+
What charge are ions of Group 2? 2+
What must the total charge of an ionic compound be? 0
What does the Roman Numeral in iron (III) oxide represent? The cations charge (+3)
How are covalent compounds named? By using the Prefix system (mono/di/etc)
How are ionic compounds named? By using the Roman Numeral system (I/II/III etc)
Using the prefix system name the following compound: N2O4 dinitrogen tetraoxide
This formula tells us the smallest whole-number ratio of atoms that are in a compound Empirical Formula
What is the empirical formular for water? H2O
What does the formula H2O tell us? That the ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms is 2:1
What tells us how many atoms are in one molecule of the compound? Molecular Formula
What is a covalently (share) bonded compound that contains CARBON? Organic Compound
