Study Notes

Formulae

  • Formulae for all metals, noble gasses and carbon is just the symbol (e.g.: Au).
  • Diatomic molecules use the symbol plus 2 (e.g.: O2, H2).
  • Use symbol and subscript to show how many of each atom.
    • e.g., H2O - 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen.
    • C2H5OH - 2 carbon, 6 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.
    • No gaps, atoms are bonded.
  • Some compound names include mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-.
    • Sulphur dioxide is SO2.
    • Dinitrogen tetroxide is N2O4.
    • CaCl2 is calcium chloride, NOT calcium dichloride.

Formulae to Learn

  • Key chemical formulae include:
    • Carbon dioxide: CO2.
    • Hydrochloric acid: HCl.
    • Sulphur dioxide: SO2.
    • Carbon monoxide: CO.
    • Sulphuric acid: H2SO4.
    • Nitrogen dioxide: NO2.
    • Copper Carbonate: CuCO3.
    • Water: H2O.
    • Nitric acid: HNO3.
    • Copper Sulphate: CuSO4.
    • Ammonia: NH3.
    • Sodium hydroxide: NaOH.
    • Calcium hydroxide: Ca(OH)2.
      • All acids have Hydrogen.
    • Glucose: C6H12O6.
    • Potassium hydroxide: KOH.
    • Methane: CH4.
    • Sodium Chloride: NaCl.
    • Calcium carbonate: CaCO3.
    • Copper (II) oxide: CuO.
      • Hydroxides have OH.

Formula with Brackets

  • The general formula is A12(SO4)3.
  • A1 = 2.
  • S x 3 = 3.
  • O x 3 = 12.

Equations

  • Reactant(s) produce a Product.
    • Water is formed from the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen.
    • Hydrogen + Oxygen -> Water.
    • Sulphuric acid results from copper oxide and water.
    • H2SO4 + CuO -> CuSO4 + H2O
  • Use -ide as the normal ending when an atom is an element or part of a compound.
  • Use -ate when an atom is part of a compound with oxygen.
    • Add the "ate" ending only to the non-metal part.
    • Iron + Sulphur creates Iron Sulphide.
    • Sodium + Oxygen creates Sodium oxide.
    • Silver + Bromine creates Silver bromide.
    • Copper + Sulphur + Oxygen creates copper sulphate.

Elements and Compounds

  • Element to Compound examples:
    • Chlorine -> Chloride, Chlorate (+O2).
    • Nitrogen -> Nitride, Nitrate.
    • Phosphorus -> Phosphonide, Phosphate.
  • Examples:
