What are ionic compounds made out of? (explain what any key term you use means)

a compound of atoms consisting of a cation (positively charged ion) and an anion (negatively charged ions) 

100

What types of atoms are included in most molecules? 

Two nonmetals 

100

What are polyatomic ions?

ions containing more than one element 

100

How do we name covalent molecules? 

We use prefixes indicating how many of each atom are in a molecule. 

100

What does VSEPR stand for? 

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory

200

What happens with the electrons in an ionic compound?

the electrons are donated from one atom to another 

200

What types of bonds can form during covalent bonding? (Explain what each one is)

Single: sharing of 1 pair of electrons 

Double: sharing of 2 pairs of electrons 

Triple: sharing of 3 pairs of electrons 

Coordinate: the shared pair of electrons comes from one (the same) bonding atom

200

What groups on the periodic table are cations? anions? 

Cations: groups 1, 2, and 13

Anions: 15, 16, and 17

200

What is the difference between polar and non-polar covalent molecules? 

Polar: unequal sharing of electrons 

non-polar: equal sharing of electrons 

200

What does Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory tell? 

That electrons will orient themselves as far away from each other as possible around the nucleus of an atom. 

300

When are roman numerals used in naming ionic compounds?

when the cation is neutral or does not have a fixed charge/is a transition metal.

300

What are atoms in a molecule trying to achieve when forming covalent bonds?

A full outer shell with 8 electrons.

Give the name and formula for barium reacting with arsenic

Barium Arsenide 

Br3As2

300

Give the formula for the molecule Sulfur Hexafluoride. 

SF4

300

Name the orientations: 


Linear Triatomic 

Square Planar 

T-shaped 

400

What should the total charge be on an ionic compound 

Neutral 

400

What are 4 exceptions to the octet rule when covalent bonding? What are their exceptions 

H can only form one bond consisting of 2 electrons due to its small size (it only has a 1s level)

Br, P, S can hold more than 8 electrons (10-12) in their valence shell.

400

Give the name and formula for gallium reacting with acetate

Gallium Acetate 

Ga(CH3COO)3

400

Name the following N3F7 

Trinitrogen Heptaflouride

400

Name the following orientations: 


Trigonal Planar 

Bent 

Trigonal Pyramidal 

500

What is the difference between a lewis dot diagram and a lewis dot structure?

lewis dot diagrams show the separate valence electrons using dots 


lewis dot structures show the bonds that form between atoms in a molecule with lines 

500

What are resonance structures? 

Resonance structures are structures that occur when it is possible to draw two or more valid electron dot structures that have the same number of electron pairs

Give the name and formula for Fe+3 reacting with hydrogen phosphate

Iron (III) Hydrogen Phosphate  

Fe2(HPO4)3

Is chloroform (CHCl3) polar or nonpolar?

Polar
