❖ PERIODIC TABLE
-a table consisting of all the elements that are arranged
according to their increasing atomic number
➢ PERIODIC TRENDS
1. Atomic Radius
-a measure of the size of its atoms
2. Electron Negativity
-atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons
IA -Alkaline metal VIA -Calcogens
IIA -Alkaline earth VIIA -Halogens
Left to Right - atomic size increase
IIIA -Boron family VIIIA -Nobles gas
Top to Bottom- atomic size decrease
IVA -Carbon
VA -Nitrogen
*Noble Gas are excluded from this because it is stable
GENERAL CHEMISTRY
3. Ionization Energy ❖ FORMULA WRITING FOR BINARY IONIC
-the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral 1. Write the symbol for cation followed by anion
atom in its gaseous phase
4. Electron Affinity
-is the ability of an atom to accept an electron
C. Barium Sulfide
B. Ammonium Sulfide
C. Silver Oxalate
❖ FORMULA WRITING FOR POLYATOMIC IONIC
Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in
the name.
Rule 2. When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic
ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written D. Lead II Chromate
outside the parentheses.
GENERAL CHEMISTRY
❖ NAMING OF IONIC COMPOUND B. Stock System
➢ Binary Compounds -give the English name of the metal w/ its valence written in Roman
A. When naming binary ionic compounds, name the cation first (specifying Numerals in a pair of parentheses followed by the anion
the charge, if necessary), then the nonmetal anion (element stem + -ide).
MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
➢ For Metals w/ variable valence -made up of two non-metals “Covalent Bonding”
A. Classical Method ❖ FORMULA WRITING OF MOLECULAR COMPOUND
-give the Latin name of the metal ending in -ous for the lower valence A. The symbol of metals, nonmetals and inert gasses
and -ic for the higher valence, followed by the name of an anion also stand for their formula
Zinc Dust = Zn
Magnesium ribbon = Mg
Helium gas = He
Example:
1. Dichlorine heptoxide
