Study Notes
Periodic Table Groups
- Group 1A is known as Alkali Metals; these are highly reactive elements.
- Group 2A is called Alkaline Earth Metals; they are less reactive compared to alkali metals.
- Group 7A consists of Halogens, known for their high reactivity, especially with alkali metals.
- Group 8A refers to Noble Gases, which are inert and do not readily form compounds.
Ions and Chemical Behavior
- Metals typically form cations, positively charged ions.
- Nonmetals typically form anions, negatively charged ions.
- Nonmetals are predominantly located on the right side of the periodic table.
Molecular Compounds and Naming
- Nitrogen monoxide is identified as a molecular compound among the listed options.
- The formula Na2O is named sodium oxide.
- Carbon monoxide is classified as a molecular compound.
- K2O is the ionic compound formed from potassium and oxygen.
Charges and Atomic Structure
- Aluminum forms an ion with a charge of 3+.
- An atom that gains an electron becomes an anion.
- An atom that loses an electron becomes a cation.
- The ion O^2− has 8 protons and 10 electrons.
States of Matter
- A solid has a definite shape and volume; particles vibrate but do not move freely.
- A liquid allows particles to slip past each other; it has a definite volume but not a definite shape.
- A gas has particles that are far apart and move rapidly.
- Physical changes do not alter a substance's composition, whereas chemical changes do.
Elemental Symbols and Properties
- S represents sulfur; Ag is the atomic symbol for silver.
- Be has an atomic number of 4.
- A substance made of one type of atom is defined as an element.
Molecules and Compounds
- A molecule forms when two or more atoms are chemically joined together.
- A compound contains different types of atoms bonded together.
- Pure substances have uniform properties, while mixtures consist of multiple components that are not chemically bonded.
Miscellaneous Facts
- Subscripts indicate the number of each type of atom in a chemical formula.
- Nonmetals, such as neon (Ne), do not exist as diatomic molecules naturally.
- Magnesium (Mg) has 12 protons and is considered a main-group metal.
