MgCl2

What is magnesium chloride?

100

Hydroiodic Acid

What is HI?

100

This is the only element to the left of the metalloid stairsteps that is a nonmetal.

What is hydrogen?

100

These are typically low in covalent compounds and high in ionic and metallic compounds.

What are melting/boiling points?

100

The roman numerals in the middle of a compound with a transition metal represents this.

What is the charge of the transition metal?

200

N2O5

What is dinitrogen pentoxide?

200

Rubidium Bromide

What is RbBr?

200

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?

200

"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?

200

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?

300

Na2SO3

What is sodium sulfite?

300

Trisulfur Hexafluoride 

What is S3F6?

300

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?

300

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?

300

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?

400

H3PO4

What is phosphoric acid?

400

Aluminum Nitrate

What is Al(NO3)3?

400

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?

400

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?

400

This prefix is never put at the front of a covalent compound, only ever used in the second element.

What is mono?

500

Fe2O3

What is iron (III) oxide?

500

Copper (II) Phosphide

What is Cu3P2?

500

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?

500

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?

500

Whenever one of these compounds dissolves in water, it creates positive hydrogen ions as well as an anion.

What is an acid?
