CHAPTER 2: COMPOUNDS AND CHEMICAL BONDS
All matter has physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are characteristics that
scientists can measure without changing the composition of the sample under study, such as
mass, color, and volume (the amount of space occupied by a sample). Chemical
properties describe the characteristic ability of a substance to react to form new substances;
they include its flammability and susceptibility to corrosion. Physical properties can be extensive
or intensive. Extensive properties vary with the amount of the substance and include mass,
weight, and volume. Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of the
substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and physical
state at a given temperature.
3) If there is only one of the first element, you can drop the prefix. For example, CO is carbon
monoxide, not monocarbon monoxide.
4) If there are two vowels in a row that sound the same once the prefix is added (they
“conflict”), the extra vowel on the end of the prefix is removed. For example, one oxygen would
be monooxide, but instead it’s monoxide. The extra o is dropped.
Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic ions are ions which consist of more than one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-,
contains one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a polyatomic ion are usually
covalently bonded to one another, and therefore stay together as a single, charged unit.
