Unit 4 Test Review: Periodic Trends, Naming Compounds, and Nuclear Change

Vocabulary flashcards covering topics from the Unit 4 Test Review, including periodic trends, compound naming (covalent, ionic, binary acids, and oxyanion acids), and nuclear change.

Coulombic Attraction

The attraction related to effective nuclear charge that serves as the foundation for explaining periodic trends such as atomic radii, ionization energy, electronegativity, and reactivity.

Atomic Radii

A periodic trend describing atom size, which is identified and explained using Coulombic attraction and effective nuclear charge.

Ionization Energy

A periodic trend measuring the energy required to remove an electron, explained through Coulombic attraction.

Electronegativity

A periodic trend describing the ability of an atom to attract electrons, explained by Coulombic attraction and effective nuclear charge.

Covalent Bonding

A chemical bonding category involving the sharing of electrons, characterized by Lewis structures, specific forming elements, and molecular naming and formula writing.

Binary Acids

A specific class of acids that contain no oxygen and follow designated naming and formula writing rules.

Oxyanion Acids

Acids that contain oxygen combined with another element or polyatomic ion, requiring distinct naming and formula writing rules.

Ionic Bonding

A type of chemical bonding reviewed for compound naming and formula writing.

Alpha, Beta, and Gamma

The three primary types of nuclear change differentiated when predicting and balancing nuclear equations.

Unit 4 Test

A chemistry assessment worth a total of $33$ points, administered entirely on paper.
