    • Binary compounds
      A chemical compound consisting of exactly two different elements.
      Although containing two or more elements, it could contain more than two atoms.
    • 3 types of binary compounds
      1. binary acid
      2. binary ionic compounds
      3. binary covalent compounds
    • A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with an electric charge.
    • An ion is an atom with an electric charge (positive or negative)
    • Three exceptions: are ternary not binary.
      Cyanide
      Hydroxide
      Peroxide
    • the big five
      Carbonate (CO32-)
      Chlorate (ClO31-)
      Nitrate (NO31-)
      Phosphate (PO42-)
      Sulfate (SO43)
    • acids
      A compound in which one or more H+ ions are bounded by a negative ion.
    • When naming an acid, the acid is based on the name of the negative ion that is part of the acid.
    • C2H302- = acetate
    • NH4+ = ammonium
    • Co3 2- = carbonate
    • ClO 3- = chlorate
    • ClO2 - = chlorite
    • CrO4 2- = chromate
    • CN- =cyanide
    • Cr2O7 2- = dichromate
    • HCO 3- = bicarbonate
    • HSO4 - = bisulfate
    • HSO3 - =bisulfite
    • OH - hydroxide

    • ClO - = hypochlorite
    • NO3 - =nitrate
    • C2O4 2- = oxalate
    • ClO4 - = perchlorate
    • MnO4 - = permanganate
    • PO4 3- = phosphate
    • SO4 2- = sulfate
    • SO3 2- = sulfite
    • hydrates
      Ionic compounds that have a specific number of water molecules attached to them.
    • anhydrates
      Hydrates that have had water molecules removed (such as through heating)
      The number of water is indicated with a coefficient in the formula and a prefix in the name.
    • reactants
      Substances that take part in a chemical equation.
    • products
      Substances that are produced in a chemical equation.
    • in balancing chemical equation: The coefficients next to the symbols of the entities indicate the number of moles of a substance produced or used in the chemical equation.
    • The reactants and products are separated by an arrow, usually called yields
    • Chemical equations should contain the state of the properties of the products and the reactants whether:
      Aqueous (aq) dissolved in water
      Solid (s)
      Liquid (l)
      Gas (g)
