Molecules & Ions

Molecules & Ions

Molecules & Ions

covalent compounds

certain compounds have special names
e.g ammonia
e.g water
prefix added to distinguish number of atoms.
e.g carbon monoxide (CO)

ionic compounds

exist polyatomic ions with special names
e.g Iron (II) Nitrate
e.g Ammonium Chloride
negative ions are ANIONS
positive ions are CATIONS

covalent bonding

e.g HCl [Hydrogen Chloride], NO [Nitrogen Oxide]
arises as 2 non-metals both need to gain electrons in order to achieve noble gas sturtures
Subtopic
electron clouds of atoms overlaping, resulting in electrons sharing
between atoms of non-metals

ionic bonding

e.g NaCl [sodium chloride]
transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal atom
between atoms of 1 non-metal and metal

elements

substances in their simplest form
e.g Carbon
e.g Hydrogen

isotopes

e.g Isotopes of Hydrogen
contain different number of neutrons
atoms with identical atomic number but different mass number.

atoms

contain 3 basic particles
electrons
neutrons
protons
smallest particles of the element which still retain the chemical properties of an element
