Compounds made of two different elements bonded together
Monoatomic ion
An ion composed of single atom
Polyatomic ion
An ion composed of more than one atom
Cations
Positively-charged ions due to losing of electrons (metals)
Anions
Negatively-charged ions due to gaining of electrons (non-metals)
Nomenclature of cations
Name of metal atom
Use Roman Numerals to denote the charge of the atom
Nomenclature of anions
Name of non-metal with "ide" ending
Transition metals
Elements with partially filled d-orbitals
Also known as "transition elements"
Nomenclature of transition metals
Use Roman Numerals to denote the charge of the atom
Ferrous (lower)
Ferric (higher)
Cuprous (lower)
Cupric (higher)
Aurous (lower)
Auric (higher)

Polyatomic ions
An ion composed of more than one atom
Examples of polyatomic ions
Hydroxide
Sulfate
Nitrate
Binary compounds - TypeI
Compounds between cations and anions
Binary compounds - TypeII
Compounds between transition metals and nonmetals
Nomenclature of binarycompounds - Type I
Cation name + Anion name with "-ide" ending
Nomenclatureofbinarycompounds - Type II
Transition metal name with Roman Numerals + Anionname with "ide" ending
Ternary compounds
Formed from a metal cation and a polyatomic anion, contain 3 or more different elements in the formula
Ternary compounds - Special rule
When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses
Covalentbond occurs between two or morenon-metals by sharing of electrons, covalently bonded compounds consist of molecules
Molecular formula
Shows the kinds and numbers of atoms present in a molecule of a compound
Periodic Table
An arrangement of all the elements known to man in accordance with their increasing atomic number and recurring chemical properties
Structural formula
An ion composed of single atom
Periodic Table
Elements are organized on the table according to their atomic number
Flows from LEFT to RIGHT
Atomic Number
The number of protons an atom of that element has
Prefixes for molecular compounds
Mono (1)
Di (2)
Tri (3)
Tetra (4)
Penta (5)
Hexa (6)
Hepta (7)
Octa (8)
Nona (9)
Deca (10)
Atomic Mass
The "weight" of the atom (No of protons + no of neutrons)
If there is only one of the first element in a molecular compound, do not use the prefix "mono"
Valence electrons
The electrons in the outer energy level of an atom
The electrons that are transferred or shared when atoms bond together
If the nonmetalstarts with a vowel, drop the vowel ending from all prefixes except "di" and "tri"
Dimitri Mendeleev
The "Father of the Periodic table" who put forth the first iteration of the periodic table like the one we use now
Mendeleev modeled his periodic table (initially 63 elements) based on increasing atomic mass, whereas the modernperiodiclaw is based on the increasing order of atomicnumbers
Periods
The Rows on the Periodic table (left to right)
Elements in a row have the same number of electron shells
As Periods increase, "n" also increases (orbit size increases)
Groups
Elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons
Elements in the same family share similar characteristics
Groups
Group 1:1 valence electron
Group 2: 2 valence electrons
Group 13: 3 valence electrons
Group 14: 4 valence electrons
Group 15: 5 valence electrons
Group 16: 6 valence electrons
Group 17: 7 valence electrons
Group 18: 8 valence electrons (most stable, except He who has 2)
P-D-F Blocks
Regions in the periodic table that have their corresponding blocks
Electronegativity
A chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons toward itself
Increases left to right across a period
Decreases top to bottom of groups
Chemical bonding
Formation of bonds between atoms, molecules, or ions
Ionization Energy
The energy required to remove the most loosely bound (Valence electron) electron from an isolated atom in a gaseous state
Chemical bonds
Attractiveforces which holds the atoms, molecules, or ions together in the resulting compound
