These are the two types of elements that are involved in the formation of an ionic compound.
What is a metal and a non-metal?
100
These are the names for the chemical formulas for a covalently-bonded substance and for an ionic compound, respectively.
What is the molecular formula and formula unit?
100
These types of elements are what normally combine to form covalent bonds?
What are non-metals?
100
The is the name for P2O5.
What is diphosphorus pentoxide?
200
This is what an ION is NOT!
What is a subatomic particle?
200
This is the name for an ion with a net negative charge and for an ion with a net positive charge, respectively.
What is an anion and a cation?
200
This goal is to lower the energy of the system by obtaining a complete valence electron level or shell (per the octet rule).
What is the goal of all ionic and covalent bonds?
200
This is the name for the type of particle that will take up more space when they are not their shared in covalent bonds.
What are unpaired electrons?
200
This is what you do if the name of the second element begins with vowel and prefix ends in “a” or “o”.
What is drop last vowel on prefix to form the name?
300
This is one of the trends for ionization energy on the Periodic Table.
What is Ionization energy increases as you move across a period from left to right, or Ionization energy decreases as you move down a family?
300
This step is when you write the number of the net charge of the cation as a subscript behind the anion (or polyatomic anion), and then you write the number of the net charge of the anion (or polyatomic anion) behind the cation.
What is the criss-cross method for balancing charge when writing the chemical formula for an ionic compound?
300
These are four characteristics of ionic compounds.
What is made out of ions, are from reactions between a metal and a non-metal, are a salt, are crystalline solids at room temperature, and have high melting and boiling points?
300
These are the alternative names for a single and double bond, respectively.
What is a sigma bond and a pi bond?
300
These are the prefixes given to elements when there are one or more of them in the molecule?
What is mono- for 1, di- for 2, tri- for 3, tetra- for 4, penta- for 5, hexa- for 6, hepta- for 7, octa- for 8, nona- for 9, and deca- for 10?
400
The movement of these things cause ions to form.
What are valence electrons?
400
These are the three steps taken in writing an ionic compound's formula.
What is 1. Write the formulas for the cation and anion, including CHARGES! 2. Check to see if charges are balanced, and 3. Balance charges , if necessary, using subscripts. Use parentheses if you need more than one of a polyatomic ion. Use the criss-cross method to balance the subscripts?
400
This is what happens in forming an ionic bond, while this is what happens in forming a covalent bond.
What is atoms gain or lose electrons in forming ionic bonds, while atoms share electron pairs in covalent bonds?
400
This the complete name for the VSEPR model and its main advantage over the Lewis Dot Structure model.
What is the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) model and it uses that fact that electron clouds will repel one another, and so keep as far apart as possible to better describe the 3-dimensional shapes and structures of covalent molecules?
400
This is the process of how you name molecular compounds if given the chemical formula.
What is you start by having the first element get a prefix if there is more than one and then the second element ALWAYS gets prefix, and “-ide” ending?
500
This is the reason why ions form.
What is because atoms “want” to have their valence electron level (or shell) complete? or What is the Octet Rule?
500
This is how to predict what net charge the ion of a "Group A" element will take based on its location on the Periodic Table.
What is to first subtract the group number of the "Group A" element from 8 (octet rule); and second, if the difference is greater than 4, the ion will be a cation, and the group number will be the charge on the cation, or, if the difference is less than 4, the ion will be an anion, and the difference will be the charge on the anion?
500
This is the definition of the law of definite proportions.
What is the law which states that in any compound, elements are always combined in same proportions?
500
These are 5 of the different shapes that covalent molecules can have.
What is linear, bent, trigonal planar, tetrahedron, trigonal bipyramid, octahedral...?
500
These are the chemical formula for tetraiodine nonoxide, silicon tetrafluoride, and dicarbon hexahydride.
