Study Notes
Chemical Compounds
- Chemical compounds are formed when atoms combine.
- An oxide is a compound formed when a metal combines with oxygen
- Basic oxides are formed when metals combine with oxygen.
- Acidic oxides are formed when nonmetals combine with oxygen.
- Bases are compounds that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
- Acids are compounds that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.
- Salts are compounds formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
- Salts are neutral compounds.
Types of Chemical Compounds
-
Oxides:
- Formed by the combination of a metal or nonmetal with oxygen.
- Basic oxides are formed from metals and acidic oxides are formed from nonmetals.
-
Bases:
- Release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water.
- Often contain a metal and hydroxide.
-
Acids:
- Release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in water.
- Often contain hydrogen and a nonmetal.
-
Salts:
- Formed by the reaction of an acid and a base.
- Neutral compounds.
Classification of Inorganic Compounds
- Inorganic compounds are classified into oxides, bases, acids, and salts.
- Examples of inorganic compounds include oxides like Na₂O, bases like NaOH, acids like HCl, and salts like NaCl.
