Cation followed by the anion. If the compound is formed with a transition metal and there are more than one possibleions that can be present.
Back
Isotope
Front
Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.

Where are the valence electrons in an atom?
Front
In the outermost occupied shell of an atom.

Naming ionic compounds
Front
Identify the cation and anion. Name the cation by its element name. Name the anion by using the first syllable of its element followed by "ide". Write the name of the cation first and the name of the anion second.

Specific Heat
Front
The amount of heat in calories of Joules that raises the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
Back
Positive ions forming
Front
When an element, typically a metal loses 1 or more electrons.

How do subscripts represent the charge balance of ions?
Front
To balance the charges of ions the number of electrons lost is equal to the number of electrons gained. The overall net charge must be zero. The number of ions needed to accomplish this is represented by the subscripts.
Back
Why are electrons shared in covalent compounds?
Front
Nonmetals tend to have high electronegativity values and thus share electrons rather than lose them. Typically, if a compound has an electronegativiy of less than 1.9 it is a covalent bond.
Back
Negative ions forming
Front
When an element, typically a nonmetal gains 1 or more electrons.

Characteristics of names of covalent Compounds:
Front
Least electronegative ion first and prefixes are given to both ions to indicate the number of atoms in each element present. The second ion ends in "ide"
