Name 3 diatomic molecules formula AND name
Br2 I2 N2 Cl2 H2 O2 F2
Bromine, iodine, nitrogen, chlorine, hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine
Why don't you need a roman numeral in ionic I compounds?
because the charge is known/constant
Why do you need a roman numeral in ionic II compounds?
because the charge is not constant, so the specific metal charge needs to be noted in name
What is the difference between nitric acid and nitrous acid?
nitric acid (HNO3) has more oxygen atoms than nitrous acid (HNO2)
What element is in group 1A period 3? What is the charge on it? And if it were paired with Oxygen, would it be Covalent or Ionic? Give me the chemical formula
1. Na+
2. Plus 1
3. Ionic because Oxygen is a nonmetal and sodium is a metal
4. Na2O
