MgCl2
What is magnesium chloride?
Hydroiodic Acid
What is HI?
This is the only element to the left of the metalloid stairsteps that is a nonmetal.
What is hydrogen?
These are typically low in covalent compounds and high in ionic and metallic compounds.
What are melting/boiling points?
The roman numerals in the middle of a compound with a transition metal represents this.
What is the charge of the transition metal?
N2O5
What is dinitrogen pentoxide?
Rubidium Bromide
What is RbBr?
Some of these kinds of metals will not form the same charge each time, as they pull from their lower energy levels instead of the outer shell.
What are transition metals?
"Like dissolves like" is a rule that we follow for finding if one compound dissolves in another, which is why this kind of compound dissolves in water.
What is a polar covalent compound?
We use this style of diagram to show the number of valence electrons that surround an element and where they go in bonding.
What is an electron dot diagram?
Na2SO3
What is sodium sulfite?
Trisulfur Hexafluoride
What is S3F6?
If we add a metal or a nonmetal to a metallic compound, we create one of these, which has different properties than a pure metal.
What is an alloy?
If an ionic compound is hit with enough force, it causes the layers to slide, which brings like charges closer together and repel each other, in what we call this property.
What is brittleness?
We call a compound ternary if it has three or more elements, and we call it this if it is composed of only two elements.
What is a binary compound?
H3PO4
What is phosphoric acid?
Aluminum Nitrate
What is Al(NO3)3?
Since energy is able to move so freely through their electrons, it is a great conductor of these two energies.
What are thermal and electrical energy?
Metals are the only compounds to have these properties, which means that they can be flattened out or drawn out into a thin wire.
What are malleability and ductility?
This prefix is never put at the front of a covalent compound, only ever used in the second element.
What is mono?
Fe2O3
What is iron (III) oxide?
Copper (II) Phosphide
What is Cu3P2?
The bond in a metallic bond is shared between the positive metal cation and these kinds of electrons, which don't stay attached to one atom.
What are delocalized electrons?
Both ionic and metallic compounds take this shape, which explains why it requires so much energy to break them apart.
What is a crystal or crystal lattice?
Whenever one of these compounds dissolves in water, it creates positive hydrogen ions as well as an anion.
What is an acid?
