Ionic bond
the strong electrostatic force of attraction that holds oppositely charged ions together in a compound
ionic compound
a compound composed of positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions)
binary compound
2 elements
ternary compound
more than 2 elements
monoatomic ion
1 atom
polyatomic ion
2 or more atoms
Polyatomic ion
an ion made up of more than one atom that acts as a single charged unit
Positive ion suffix
-ium
Negative ion suffixes
2 atoms = -ide
Hypo-; -ite
-ite
-ate
Per-; -ate
Transition metals are multivalent, meaning they have…
more than one oxidation state
Acids
not ionic compounds, but molecules
When dissolved in water, acids dissociate into ions
binary acid
acid that has only 2 different elements
first is ALWAYS Hydrogen (H)
Second is a nonmetal
binary acid prefix, suffix, and ending
prefix: hydro-
Suffix: -ic
Ending: acid
oxyacid
an acid that contains hydrogen and an oxygen
oxyanion
a polyatomic anion (-) that contains oxygen
Oxyacid suffix changes
-ate → -ic
-ite → -ous
Do oxyacid element charges reduce?
Never
Hydrates
contain a certain number of water molecules with each formula unit
part of the crystal structure of the ionic compound (lattice structure)
