New cards
Binary compound
________- composed of two elements and can be either ionic or molecular, must be named with the cation name followed by the anion name.
2
New cards
Monatomic ions
________- a single atom with a positive or negative charge resulting from the loss or gain of one or more valence electrons, respectively.
3
New cards
monatomic ions
a single atom with a positive or negative charge resulting from the loss or gain of one or more valence electrons, respectively
4
New cards
polyatomic ions
ions composed of more than one atom (often end in -ite or -ate)
5
New cards
binary compound
composed of two elements and can be either ionic or molecular, must be named with the cation name followed by the anion name
6
New cards
acid
a compound that contains one or more hydrogen atoms and produces hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water
7
New cards
base
an ionic compound that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water, same naming convention as other ionic compounds
8
New cards
law of definite proportions
in samples of any chemical compound, the masses of the elements are always in the same proportions and because atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios, it follows that their proportions by mass must always be the same
9
New cards
law of multiple proportions
whenever the same two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers
