● Diatomic​ ​molecules:
○ Rule​ ​of​ ​7’s
...

● Ion​ ​-​ ​charged​ ​species
○ Cation:​ ​+​ ​charge
■ Metals,​ ​lose​​ ​e○ Anion:​ ​-​ ​charge
■ Nonmetals,​ ​gain​​ ​e● Monatomic​ ​ion​ ​-​ ​only​ ​1​ ​atom​ ​(Ex:​ ​Na​+​,​ ​N3+​
​ )
○ Octet​ ​rule​ ​-​ ​want​ ​8​ ​valence​ ​e-​ ​(be​ ​like​ ​nearest​ ​noble​ ​gas)
■ Valence​ ​e-​ ​=​ ​group​ ​#​ ​(main-group​ ​elements)
● Metals:​ ​charge​ ​=​ ​group​ ​#
● Nonmetals:​ ​charge​ ​=​ ​group​ ​#​ ​-​ ​8
● Polyatomic​ ​ion​ ​-​ ​more​ ​than​ ​1​ ​atom​ ​(Ex:​ ​OH​-​,​ ​NO​3​-​)
● How​ ​many​ ​protons​ ​and​ ​electrons​ ​are​ ​in​ 23​
​ 13​Al​3+
○ Protons:​ ​13​ ​protons
○ Electrons:​ ​10​ ​electrons
● How​ ​many​ ​protons​ ​and​ ​electrons​ ​are​ ​in​ 78​
​ 34​Se​2○ Protons:​ ​34​ ​protons
○ Electrons:​ ​36​ ​electrons
● What​ ​is​ ​the​ ​formula​ ​of​ ​the​ ​phosphorus​ ​ion​ ​(phosphide)?​ ​How​ ​many​ ​electrons
are​ ​present?
○ P​3-​,​ ​(15+3)=​ ​18​ ​electrons
● Ionic​ ​compounds​ ​-​ ​cation(s)​ ​+​ ​anion(s)
○ Sum​ ​of​ ​charges​ ​must​ ​equal​ ​zero
○ The​ ​ionic​ ​compound​ ​NaCl

○ Always​ ​crystalline​ ​structures
● Writing​ ​Formulas​ ​of​ ​Ionic​ ​Compounds
○ Order:​ ​cation​ ​(+)​ ​then​ ​anion​ ​(-)
■ Do​ ​not​ ​write​ ​charges
○ If​ ​equal​ ​+​ ​and​ ​-​ ​charges
■ Ex:​ ​Na+​ ​and​ ​Cl-​ ​=​ ​NaCl
■ Ex:​ ​Al​ ​3+​ ​and​ ​N​ ​3-​ ​=​ ​AlN
○ If​ ​unequal​ ​charges​ ​-​ ​use​ ​crisscross​ ​method
■ Magnitude​ ​of​ ​the​ ​charge​ ​on​ ​one​ ​ion​ ​becomes​ ​the​ ​subscript​ ​for​ ​the
other
...
​ ​ ​It’s​ ​a
diatomic​ ​molecule
...

○ Can​ ​only​ ​change​ ​coefficients​ ​NOT​ ​subscripts
■ Changing​ ​subscripts​ ​change​ ​the​ ​compound
○ Reduce​ ​coefficients​ ​to​ ​the​ ​lowest​ ​whole​​ ​number
...

○ Ex:​ ​Propane​ ​(C​3​H​8​)​ ​reacts​ ​with​ ​oxygen​ ​to​ ​form​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​and​ ​water
■ C​3​H​8​​ ​+​ ​O​2​​ ​->​ ​CO​2​​ ​+​ ​H​2​O
■ C​3​H​8​​ ​+​ ​5O​2​​ ​->​ ​3CO​2​​ ​+​ ​4H​2​O
● Treat​ ​polyatomic​ ​ions​ ​as​ ​a​ ​“unit”
○ Al​ ​+​ ​FeSO​4​​ ​->​ ​Al​2​(SO​4​)​3​​ ​+​ ​Fe
○ 2Al​ ​+​ ​3FeSO​4​​ ​->​ ​Al​2​(SO​4​)​3​​ ​+​ ​3Fe
● When​ ​an​ ​element​ ​is​ ​in​ ​3​ ​or​ ​more​ ​compounds,​ ​change​ ​the​ ​coefficient​ ​where​ ​it​ ​is
alone​ ​-​ ​you​ ​can​ ​even​ ​use​ ​a​ ​fraction
○ 2NH​3​(g)​ ​+​ ​O​2​(g)​ ​->​ ​2NO(g)​ ​+​ ​3H​2​O(g)
○ 2(2NH​3​(g)​ ​+​ ​(5/2)O​2​(g)​ ​->​ ​2NO(g)​ ​+​ ​3H​2​O(g))
○ 4NH​3​(g)​ ​+​ ​5O​2​(g)​ ​->​ ​4NO(g)​ ​+​ ​6H​2​O(g)
● Synthesis​ ​Reactions
○ Form​ ​1​ ​product
○ Examples:
■ Two​ ​elements​ ​react​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​compound
● Al​ ​+​ ​S​ ​->​ ​Al​2​​ ​+​ ​S​3
■ Metal​ ​Oxide​ ​plus​ ​water​ ​gives​ ​a​ ​metal​ ​hydroxide
● CaO​ ​+​ ​H​2​O​ ​(not​ ​balanced)​ ​->​ ​Ca​2+​​ ​+​ ​OH​-​ ​->​ ​Ca(OH)​2
■ Non-metal​ ​oxide​ ​plus​ ​water​ ​gives​ ​an​ ​acid
● SO​2​​ ​+​ ​H​2​O​ ​->​ ​H+​​ ​ ​+​ ​SO​3​2-​​ ​->​ ​H​2​SO​3
● Decomposition​ ​Reactions

○ 1​ ​reactant​ ​(opposite​ ​of​ ​synthesis​ ​reactions)
○ Examples​ ​(not​ ​balanced):
■ Compound​ ​breaks​ ​down​ ​into​ ​elements:
● H​2​O​ ​+​ ​electrical​ ​energy​ ​=​ ​H​2​​ ​+​ ​O​2
■ MEMORIZE:​ ​Heating​ ​a​ ​metal​ ​carbonate​ ​gives​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​and
a​ ​metal​ ​oxide
● CuCO​3​​ ​->​ ​CO​2​​ ​+​ ​CuO
■ MEMORIZE:​ ​Metal​ ​hydroxides​ ​break​ ​down​ ​into​ ​a​ ​metal​ ​oxide​ ​and
water
● AgOH​ ​->​ ​H​2​O​ ​+​ ​Ag​2​O
● Single​ ​Replacement​ ​Reactions
○ One​ ​element​ ​replaces​ ​another
○ Examples​ ​(not​ ​balanced):
■ Na​ ​+​ ​H​2​O​ ​(think​ ​of​ ​water​ ​as​ ​HOH)​ ​->​ ​H​2​​ ​+​ ​NaOH
■ Cl​2​​ ​+​ ​NaI​ ​->​ ​I​2​​ ​+​ ​NaCl
● Double​ ​Replacement​ ​Reactions
○ Ions​ ​switch​ ​partners
○ Examples:
■ HCl(aq)​ ​+​ ​Ca(OH)​2​(aq)​ ​->​ ​H​2​O​ ​+​ ​CaCl​2
● Combustion
○ Compound​ ​+​ ​O​2​​ ​->​ ​CO​2​​ ​+​ ​H​2​O

● Oxidation​ ​Number​ ​(ON):​ ​The​ ​charge​ ​the​ ​atom​ ​would​ ​have​ ​if​ ​electrons​ ​were
completely​ ​transferred
○ Free​ ​elements:​ ​ON​ ​=​ ​0
○ Monatomic​ ​ions:​ ​ON​ ​=​ ​charge
■ Group​ ​1A​ ​=​ ​+2,​ ​2A​ ​=​ ​+2,​ ​Aluminum​ ​=​ ​+3
● Li​+​​ ​=​ ​+1;​ ​Fe​3+​ ​=​ ​+3;​ ​O2-​
​ ​ ​=​ ​-2

○ Oxygen:​ ​ON​ ​usually​ ​-2
○ Hydrogen:​ ​ON​ ​usually​ ​+1
■ Bonded​ ​to​ ​metals​ ​(ex:​ ​LiH,​ ​CaH​2​)
...

○ Oxidizing​ ​agent​ ​is​ ​reduced,​ ​causes​ ​the​ ​other​ ​to​ ​be​ ​oxidized
...
​ ​What​ ​is​ ​the​ ​oxidizing​ ​agent​ ​in​ ​the
reaction?​ ​What​ ​substance​ ​is​ ​being​ ​oxidized?
○ Zn​ ​+​ ​CuSO​4​​ ​->​ ​Cu​ ​+​ ​ZnSO​4
​ ​ ​0​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​+2​ ​same​ ​ ​ ​ ​0​ ​ ​ ​ ​+2​ ​same
● Cu​ ​went​ ​from​ ​+2​ ​to​ ​0,​ ​so​ ​CuSO​4​​ ​is​ ​the​ ​oxidizing​ ​agent​ ​(Cu​ ​is​ ​being
reduced)
● Zn​ ​went​ ​from​ ​0​ ​to​ ​+2,​ ​so​ ​Zn​ ​is​ ​the​ ​reducing​ ​agent​ ​(Zn​ ​is​ ​being​ ​oxidized)
● Example:​ ​Copper​ ​wire​ ​reacts​ ​with​ ​silver​ ​nitrate​ ​to​ ​form​ ​silver​ ​metal​ ​and
copper(II)​ ​nitrate
