Copper (I) chloride

CuCl

100

What is the only positive polyatomic ion?

Ammonium (NH4+)

Is the name monochlorine difluoride the correct name for ClF2? Explain why.
It is incorrect. In a binary molecular compound, the first element does not need a prefix if there is only one atom.

What type of charge do cations and anions have?

Cations - positive

Anions - negative

Group 2 --> 2+

Group 13 --> 3+

200

What types of bonds hold molecular compounds together?

covalent bonds (electrons are shared)

400

What two transition metals actually only form one type of ion?

Silver (Ag1+) and Zinc (Zn2+)

400

What is the octet rule?

When an atom gains, loses, or shares electrons to have 8 total valence electrons

500

Zinc phosphide

Zn3P2

500

Au2S

Gold (I) sulfide

500

FeSO3

Iron (II) sulfite

500
Triarsenic octabromide

As3Br8

500

What is the symbol and charge for an ion that has 16 protons and 18 electrons?

S2-

500

What group of elements do atoms want to copy in the octet rule? 

They want to copy the noble gases and have 8 valence electrons. This is because when an atom has 8 valence electrons it is stable.

What charge do all ionic compounds need to add to?

Zero

600

Why do atoms of elements want an octet?

This is because when an atom has 8 valence electrons it is stable.
