magnesium metal added to oxygen gas reacts to make magnesium oxide
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Positively charged particle located in the nucleus
proton
I am the lightest and most prevalent element in the universe
Hydrogen
Lithium Floride
Ionic LiF
Draw 2 hydrogens bonding covalently
H2
potassium metal is added to oxygen gas and it reacts to produce potassium oxide
4K + O2 --> 2K2O
An atom that has gained or lost electron(s)
Ion
I have 29 electrons. Who am I and how much do I weigh?
Copper, 63 amu
Carbon Dioxide
Dot CO2
How can you tell if a chemical reaction is ionically or covalently bonded?
Metal + non-metal = ionic, non-metals=covalent
Iron and iodine (diatomic) react to make iron iodide
2Fe + 3I2 --> 2FeI3
Isotope
A heavier version of an element with additional neutrons
Chemists think we are a bore. Our group of 6 are so stable, we wont react to anyone.
Nobel gases
Sodium Oxide
Ionic Na2O
How many neutrons does Na have?
12
hydrochloric acid is added to strontium oxide they produce water and strontium chloride
2HCl + SrO --> H2O + SrCl2
The parts of an atom involved in bonding (be specific)
Valence Electrons
I am a metal with the same number of valence electrons as Cesium, but am even more reactive.
Francium
C2H2
Dot Carbon triple bonded
CH2O4
Carbon and Hydrogen double bonded
Aluminum is heated in air, reacting with oxygen and produces aluminum oxide
2Al + 3O2 --> 2Al2O3
Compare and Contrast Covalent and Ionic Bonding (at least 2 similarities and 2 differences)
Similarities: Both involve electrons, both are trying to achieve full outer shells, both involved in chemical reactions
Differences: how they go about getting the electrons (win/lose=ionic, sharing=covalent), the types of elements that can do this type of bonding (metals & non-metals ionic, covalent is between non-metals)
This is one of the most versatile elements because it can form ionic and covalent bonds and have 4 valence electrons available for bonding. I have 2 electron shells
carbon
C2H6O
