  40. What is the molecular and empirical formula for hydrogen peroxide?
    • Molecular (actual # atoms) H2O2
    • Empirical (simplest # atoms) HO
  41. Molecular compounds are formed..
    Compound between two nonmetals thru covalent bonds.
  42. How do the covalent bonds in molecular compounds work?
    By sharing electrons
  43. Examples of molecular compounds?
    CO2, H2O2
  44. When naming molecular compounds...
    List less electronegative first, determine atoms (no mono on first if 1), second element starts with #prefix and ends in -ide

  46. Ionic compounds are between...
    Metals and nonmetals
  47. How do ionic bonds in ionic compounds work?
    Electrons lost by one are gained by the other to meet noble gas config. Metals lose, nonmetals gain
  48. Name a polyatomic cation. What makes it polyatomic?
    (NH4)^+... Ammonium Ion. It’s polyatomic because the charge is on the whole compound

    • Fe2+ is Iron (II) Ion
    • Ni3+ is nickel (III) Ion
  50. Explain how Na and F make an ionic compound
    Na (metal) loses 1 electron to bond with Fluorine (nonmetal), which gains 1 electron forming an ionic bond between the two. ——-> Na^+ —- F^- = sodium fluoride
  51. How can nitrogen make an anion?
    By gaining 3 electrons and becoming nitride
  52. Common oxyanions are
    Polyatomic anions that, with an oxygen component, end with -ate
  53. If a polyatomic anion has one oxygen less that it’s common oxyanion... ex (ClO2)-
