What is the defining characteristic of inorganic compounds regarding carbon-hydrogen bonds?
They do not contain C-H bonds
Match the type of inorganic compound with its example:
Salt ↔️ NaCl
Acid ↔️ HCl
Base ↔️ NaOH
Oxide ↔️ CO₂
What should you look for to identify an inorganic compound?
Absence of C-H bonds
Acids release H⁺ ions in
water
Match the inorganic compound type with its description:
Salt ↔️ Formed from acid-base reaction
Acid ↔️ Releases H⁺ ions in water
Base ↔️ Releases OH⁻ ions in water
Oxide ↔️ Contains oxygen bonded to another element
Match the inorganic compound type with its example:
Salt ↔️ CaCl₂
Acid ↔️ H₂SO₄
Base ↔️ Ca(OH)₂
Oxide ↔️ CO₂
What type of bonds are absent in inorganic compounds (with few exceptions)?
Carbon-hydrogen bonds
Common elements in inorganic compounds include metals, metalloids, and nonmetals (excluding
carbon
).
Match the type of compound with an example:
Salt ↔️ NaCl
Acid ↔️ HCl
Base ↔️ NaOH
Oxide ↔️ CO₂
Salts are formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
True
Acids release H⁺ ions in
water
.
What is the common element in all organic compounds?
Carbon
What is the purpose of chromatography in inorganic compound analysis?
Separate components
Spectroscopy can identify the elemental composition of
inorganic
compounds.
True
Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, except for carbides, carbonates, cyanides, and oxides of
carbon
Inorganic compounds may contain carbon-hydrogen bonds in carbides, carbonates, cyanides, and oxides of carbon.
True
What are the four main types of inorganic compounds?
Salts, acids, bases, oxides
Which ion is released by bases in water?
OH⁻
Inorganic compounds may contain carbon-hydrogen bonds in all cases.
False
What is the primary composition of inorganic compounds?
Metals, metalloids, nonmetals
Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, except for carbides, carbonates, cyanides, and oxides of
carbon
Inorganic compounds can be identified by the presence of carbon-hydrogen bonds.
False
What is an example of a compound containing oxygen bonded to another element?
CO₂
What should you look for to identify an inorganic compound?
No C-H bonds
Match the type of compound with an example:
Salt ↔️ NaCl
Acid ↔️ HCl
Base ↔️ NaOH
Oxide ↔️ CO₂
Qualitative analysis relies on visible indicators to identify ions or compounds.
True
Which reagent is commonly used in gas tests?
Hydrochloric acid
Match the term with its definition:
Inorganic compounds ↔️ No carbon-hydrogen bonds
Qualitative analysis ↔️ Identify ions and compounds
Titration ↔️ Determine concentration
Spectroscopy ↔️ Identify elemental composition
Compounds that release H⁺ ions in water are called
acids
Bases release
OH⁻
ions in water.
True
Match the compound type with an example:
Acid ↔️ HCl
Base ↔️ NaOH
Oxide ↔️ CO₂
Compounds containing oxygen bonded to another element are called
oxides
Steps for analyzing inorganic compounds using analytical methods:
1️⃣ Identify the elemental composition and structure using spectroscopy
2️⃣ Separate and quantify the components using chromatography
3️⃣ Determine the concentration of specific ions using titration
4️⃣ Determine the crystal structure using X-ray diffraction
Analytical methods provide both qualitative and quantitative information about
inorganic compounds
.
True
Qualitative analysis uses chemical reactions to identify ions and
compounds
Match the qualitative analysis technique with its procedure:
Flame Tests ↔️ Heating the compound in a Bunsen burner flame
Precipitation Reactions ↔️ Mixing solutions to form a solid precipitate
Gas Tests ↔️ Reacting compounds to produce gases
Quantitative analysis determines the amount or
concentration
Chromatography is used to separate and quantify the components of inorganic
mixtures
.
What does X-ray diffraction determine about inorganic materials?
Crystal structure
Flame tests produce distinctive flame
colors
