Mass percent composition
An element's percentage of the compound's total mass. Mass percent of an element = (mass of element in 1 mol of compound, g) / (mass of 1 mol of compound, g) * 100%.
Combustion analysis
An unknown compound undergoes combustion in the presence of pure oxygen in order to obtain the empirical formula for unknown compounds. A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction where a substance combines with oxygen (O2) to form one ore more oxygen-containing compounds. Emit heat.
Pure substances (elements)
Atomic: elements whose particles are single atoms, e.g. Ne. Exist in nature with single atoms as their basic units. Most elements fall into this category. Molecular: diatomic molecules, others are polyatomic.
Ionic bonds
Bonds that occur between metals and nonmetals. Involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Metals transfer one or more of their electrons to the nonmetal. The metal becomes a cation (positively charged), and the nonmetal becomes an anion (negatively charged). The oppositely charged ions attract each other via electrostatic forces and form an ionic bond. Made of a lattice of alternating cations and anions in the solid state.
Covalent bonds
Bonds that occur between two or more nonmetals. Involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. Lowers the potential energy of the atoms through electrostatic interactions with the nuclei. The electron lies between the 2 protons, giving it the lowest potential energy and making it more stable since it can interact with both protons. The electron holds the 2 protons together by attraction. The atoms in all molecular compounds are held together by covalent bonds.
Organic chemistry
Carbon atoms bond almost exclusively covalently. Carbon frequently bonds to itself to form chain, branched, or ring structures. Can form double and triple bonds with itself and other elements.
Compounds containing a metal and a nonmetal are ionic. Compounds composed of nonmetals are molecular a) CS2 = Molecular - both are nonmetals b) CuO - Ionic Type II c) KI - Ionic Type I d) PCl3 - Molecular
Classify each compound as ionic or molecular a) CS2 - Carbon Disulfide b)CuO - Copper (II) Oxide c)KI - Potassium Iodide d) PCl3 - Phosphorus Trichloride
Atomic elements exist in nature with a single atom as their base units. Molecular elements exist as diatomic molecules and do not normally exist in nature. a) Chlorine is a MOLECULAR element because its a diatomic molecule (Cl2) b) Argon is an ATOMIC element because it exists in nature as a single atom c) Cobalt is ATOMIC element because it exists in nature as a single atom d) Hydrogen is a MOLECULAR element because its a diatomic molecule (H2)

Compounds and mixtures
Compounds have elements combined in fixed, definite proportions, e.g. H2O. Atoms held together by chemical bonds, which are they result of interactions between the charged particles (protons and electrons) that make up atoms. In a mixture, elements can mix in any proportions whatsoever, e.g. a hydrogen-oxygen mixture can have any ratio of hydrogen to oxygen.
Binary compounds
Contain only 2 different elements. Name is: (name of cation) + (base name of anion and -ide). Common anions: fluorine (Fl-), chlorine (Cl-), bromine (Br-), iodine (I-), oxygen (O2-), sulfur (S2-), nitrogen (N3-), and phosphorous (P3-).
Hydrocarbons
Contain only carbon and hydrogen. Most fuels are mixtures of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons with: one bond (alkanes), double bonds (alkenes), triple bonds (alkynes). Hydrocarbons containing C6 "benzene" ring are called aromatic. Naming hydrocarbons : (base name determined by number of carbon atoms) + (suffix determined by presence of multiple bonds). Carbon base names: 1 - meth, 2 - eth, 3 - prop, 4- but, 5 - pent, 6 - hex, 7 - hept, 8 - oct, 9 - non, 10 - dec

plum-pudding does not explain the deflection of the alpha particles off of a thin sheet of gold foil
Describe Rutherford's gold foil experiment and the results of that experiment. How did these results contradict the plum pudding model of the atom?
Yes; when elements combine with other elements, a compound is created. Each compound is unique and contains properties different from those of the elements that compose it.
Do the properties of an element change when it combines with another element to form a compound?
Patterns for naming polyatomic ions
Elements in the same column form similar polyatomic ions. The suffix of polyatomic ions is often based on the number of oxygen atoms. Oxyanions are anions containing oxygen and another element. Same number of O's and same charge, e.g. ClO3- = chlorate and BrO3- = bromate. If the polyatomic ion starts with H, add hydrogen- prefix before name and add 1 to the charge, e.g. CO3^2- = carbonate ∴ HCO3^-1 = hydrogen carbonate. -ate ion: chlorate is ClO3-1 -ate ion + 1 O = same charge, per- prefix, e.g. perchlorate is ClO4-1 -ate ion - 1 O = same charge, -ite suffix, e.g. chlorite is ClO2-1 -ate ion - 2 O = same charge, hypo- prefix, -ite suffix, e.g. hypochlorite is ClO-1
3 types of chemical formulas
Empirical: gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound, e.g. hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has an empirical formula of HO. Do not describe how many atoms, the order of attachment, or the shape. The formulas for ionic compounds are empirical. Molecular: gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule, e.g. hydrogen peroxide has a molecular formula of H2O2. Some compounds have the same empirical and molecular formulas. The molecular formula is always a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula. Do not describe the order of attachment, or the shape Structural: uses lines to represent covalent bonds and shows how atoms in a molecule are connected or bonded together. Some show approximate angles between bonds. Can also show different types of bonds, such as double and triple bonds. Double bonds are generally stronger and shorter than single bonds. Describe the kinds of elements found in the compound, the numbers of their atoms, order of atom attachment, and the kind of attachment. They do not directly describe the 3-dimensional shape.
Empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound hydrogen peroxide empirical formula HO Molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound hydrogen peroxide molecular formula H202

Ionic compounds
Metals + nonmetals. Made of ions. No individual molecule units, instead ionic compounds have a 3-dimensional array of cations and anions made of FORMULA UNITS. Many contain polyatomic ions, which are several atoms attached together in one ion. Ionic compounds must have no total charge, therefore we must balance the numbers of cations and anions in a compound to get 0 charge.
Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium), Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium), and Group 1B element Zn (Zinc) form cation with charge +1
Metals that form only one type of ion from Group 1A
Be (Beryllium), Mg (Magnesium), Ca (Calcium), Sr (Strontium), Ba (Barium) and Group 1B element Ag (Silver) form cation with charge +2
Metals that form only one type of ion from Group 2A
Al (Aluminum) form cation with charge +3
Metals that form only one type of ion from Group 3A
Pure substances (compounds)
Molecular: compounds whose particles are molecules made of only nonmetals, e.g. H2O Ionic: compounds whose particles are cations and anions, e.g. NaCl. Don't contain distinct molecules but exist as part of a larger lattice. Occur throughout Earth's crust as minerals and found in the food we eat. Generally very stable because the attractions between cations and anions are very strong and each ion interacts with several oppositely charged ions in the crystalline lattice.

Molar mass (M)
The mass in grams of 1 mole of an element's atoms. Equal to atomic mass. Measured in g/mol. Equal to formula mass. There are 2 mol of Cl to 1 mol of CCl2F2. Molar mass = (empirical formula mass) x n n = (molar mass) / (empirical formula molar mass)
Variant and invariant charges and polyatomic ions
Variant charge means the metal can form more than one type of cation, so the charge must be specified. Most of these metals are transition metals. Determine charge by determining charge on anion. Invariant charge means the metal's charge doesn't vary from one compound to another (i.e. the metal only forms one type of ion). Polyatomic ions are single ions that contain more than one atom. They are often identified by (ion) in formula. The name and charge of polyatomic ions does not change. The name of any ionic compound is done by naming the cation first and then the anion. -ide usually means a monatomic anion and -ate and -ite signify differing numbers of oxygen atoms in oxyanions.
