Test Review on Naming Ions and Compounds

A set of vocabulary flashcards that cover terms and concepts related to naming ions and compounds, focusing on classification, definitions, and properties.

Cation

A positively charged ion.

Anion

A negatively charged ion.

Polyatomic Ion

An ion composed of two or more atoms.

Monoatomic Ion

An ion consisting of a single atom.

Ionic Compound

A compound formed from the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions.

Calcium Fluoride formula

CaF2.

Binary Compound

A compound composed of two different elements.

Transition Metal

A metal that can form one or more stable cations that have incompletely filled d subshells.

Acid Naming - Hydro Usage

Used when the acid is derived from a binary compound.

Base Naming Process

A base is named by adding ‘hydroxide’ to the corresponding cation.

Difference Between Acids and Bases

Acids produce hydrogen ions in solution, while bases produce hydroxide ions.

Ionic Compound Charge

Ionic compounds have a neutral overall charge.

Ending 'ate' or 'ite'

Indicates the presence of oxygen in a polyatomic ion.

Molecular Compound

A compound composed of molecules formed from covalent bonds.

Molecular vs Ionic Compounds

Molecular compounds consist of covalent bonds, while ionic compounds consist of ionic bonds.

Prefixes in Molecular Compounds

Prefixes represent the number of atoms, e.g., mono- (1), di- (2), tri- (3), tetra- (4), penta- (5), hexa- (6), hepta- (7), octa- (8), nona- (9), deca- (10).

Acid Naming - 'ic'

The ‘ic’ ending is used for acids derived from anions ending in ‘ate’.

Acid Naming - 'ous'

The ‘ous’ ending is used for acids derived from anions ending in ‘ite’.

Elements in Ionic Compounds

Made up of cations and anions.

Difference Between Ionic and Molecular Compounds

Ionic compounds have higher melting points and conduct electricity in solution, while molecular compounds generally do not.
