First stepIS IT IONIC OR COVALENT? |
Writing Formulas for Ionic compounds1. write the symbols in order
2. write in the elements ionic charge
3. drop the charges (+ and - sign)
4. criss-cross the numbers and make them subscripts
5. reduce the subscripts, if possible. Drop the number 1. |
Ionic Compounds1. know the formula
2. All the Bohr Diagram Ion rules apply
3. Draw the Ions side by side |
Naming Ionic Compounds1. The name includes both elements in the formula
2. The name of the metallic element appears first
3. The non-metallic element appears second. It's ending changes to IDE
4. If the metallic element has more than one charge (multivalent). Then a Roman numeral must be put in to identify which charge is present |
Things to remember When doing covalent formulas don't look at the ion charges
Remember there are diatomic molecules, that chemical equation might not actually be balanced
Don't rush through it
Triple check everything |
| | Drawing atoms1. Draw nucleus
2. Draw symbol, proton number, and neutron number in the nucleus
2. Draw electrons around the nucleus |
Cont'd for Ions only4. Add square brackets
5. Show ion charge (upper right)
Positive ions always have empty valance shells
Negative ions always have full valance shells |
Cont'd for Ions only4. Add square brackets
5. Show ion charge (upper right)
Positive ions always have empty valance shells
Negative ions always have full valance shells |
covalent compounds1.show touching valance shells |
Writing Formulas for covalent compounds1. use the prefixes to determine the subscript for each atoms
NEVER REDUCE THE SUBSCRIPTS |
Balancing Chemical Equations1. Write the symbols and correct formulas to represent the reactants and products
2. You cannot change the formulas (cannot change the subscripts)
3. Place coefficients in front of the symbols and formulas to change the number of atoms
4. Work from the left to the right of the equation
5. When you are stuck, double up the first compound and solve it from there |
| | Drawing atoms1. Symbol (represents the nucleus)
2. Only draw the valance shell electrons |
Drawing Ions1. symbol (represents nucleus)
2. Draw valance shell electrons
Empty or full
positive ions-empty
negative ions-full
3. square brackets
4. charge |
Ionic Compounds1. know the formula
2. all the Lewis diagram Ion rules apply
3. Draw the Ions side by side |
Polyatomic Ions1. Don't change to ending to IDE
2. In a formula, if the subscript following the symbols is 2 or more, you must put brackets around the polyatomic ion |
Naming covalent compounds1. Use prefixes to identify the number of atoms in a covalent compound
2. prefixes are found on the last page of the data sheet
3. Normally don't use mono on the first atom
4. IDE ending on the second atom |
Bohr or LewisMake sure to check if it is Bohr's model or Lewis Diagram |
