CHEM 120 FINAL EXAM


ionic compounds - answers--deals with charged particles
-oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other
-look for presence of metals and polyatomic ions

molecular compounds - answers--share electrons
-nonmetals
-no polyatomic ions unless it’s an acid

Type I metals - answers--ionic compounds
-group 1A,2A,3A
-one type of charge state
-Name of metal +ion
-if metal nonmetal:
name of metal base name of nonmetal +ide
-if metal polyatomic ion:
name of metal name of polyatomic ion

Type II metals - answers--ionic compounds
-charge states vary
-Name of metal it’s charge as a roman numeral ion
-if metal nonmetal:
name of metal its charge as a roman numeral base name of nonmetal ide
-if metal polyatomic ion:
name of metal its charge as a roman numeral name of polyatomic ion

Molecular compounds: nonmetal nonmetal - answers--prefix name of 1st
nonmetal+prefix+name of second nonmetal
-no mono for first nonmetals

Acids - answers--are molecular compounds but behave like ionic compounds when put
in water
-dissolved in water(aqueous)
-binary or oxy acids

Binary acids - answers--hydro+base name of second nonmetal+ic+acid
-hydro means no oxygen present

Oxy acids - answers--contains oxygen as a part of a polyatomic ion
-ate becomes ic

, -ite becomes ous
-ex: HNO₃→nitric acid

ACID EXCEPTIONS - answers-H₂SO₄→sulfuric acid
H₂SO₃→sulfurous acid
H₃PO₄→phosphoric acid
H₃PO₃→phosphorous acid

hydrates - answers-name of ionic compound∙prefix+hydrate

Planck's constant - answers-h=6.626* 10⁻³⁴joules seconds
used in formulas for energy, wavelength, and frequency
E=h*frequency(v)
speed of light (3*10⁸ m/sec)(c)=v*wavelength(A)
E=h(c/A)

electromagnetic spectrum - answers--left side of spectrum:highest energy, highest
frequency, shortest wavelength (blue light)
-right side of spectrum: lowest energy, lowest frequency, longest wavelength (red light)

Lewis de Broglie equation - answers-wavelength=plancks constant/mass*velocity

cation - answers-a positively charged ion

anion - answers-a negatively charged ion
usually larger than cation because electron repulsion

electron configuration - answers-
1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p,5s,4d,5p,6s,4f,5d,6p,7s,5f,6d,7p,8s
ex: Ca: 1s²,2s²,2p⁶,3s²,3p⁶,4s²

electron configuration exceptions - answers-Cu and Cr
Cr: (Ar) 4s¹,3d⁵
Cu:(Ar) 4s¹,3d¹⁰

paramagnetic - answers-unpaired electrons in orbitals

diamagnetic - answers-all electrons in orbitals are paired

n=principle quantum number - answers-shell number
n=1,n=2...

l=azimuthal quantum number - answers-shape of orbital
s: l=0
p: l=1
d: l=2
