basic period table stuff/ions

G1

- Alkaline metals

- 1 VEs

- +1 charge

G2

- alkaline earth metals

- 2 VEs

- +2 charge

G3-12

- transition metals

G7

- halogens

- 7 VEs

- -1 charge

G8

- noble gases

- 8 VEs

- no charge (neutral)

inner transition metals

two periods at the bottom separated

“wannabes”

- Sn, Sb, Pb, Bi

- multiple oxidations/charges but not apart of the transition metals section

Metals

- left of staircase

- lose VEs

- cation

- +charge

nonmetals

- right of staircase

- gain VEs

- anion

- -charge

ions

- charged particle

• gain or lose electron(s)

- # of protons and electrons no longer equal

- CLUE: if ends in -ide —> is an ion

ionic cmpd

- M + NM / cation + anion

- TRANSFER electrons

- has NO prefixes in name

• add -ide to the end

covalent/molecular cmpd

- NM + NM

- SHARE electrons

- HAS prefixes —> indicates # of atoms of that chemical in the cmpd

• add -ide to the end

lattice

- repeating arrangement of atoms in a solid

- IONIC

molecule

- 2 or more atoms held together by chem bonds

- COVALENT

cation

LOSE VEs

• + charge

anion

GAIN VEs

• - charge
