Unit 5 Ionic Compounds Study Guide

SC1 Students will analyze the nature of matter and its classifications.

b. Identify substances based on chemical and physical properties.
c. Predict formulas for stable ionic compounds (binary and tertiary) based on balance of charges.
d. Use IUPAC nomenclature for both chemical names and formulas:

  • Ionic compounds (Binary and tertiary)

SC3 Students will use the modern atomic theory to explain the characteristics of atoms.

b. Use the orbital configuration of neutral atoms to explain its effect on the atom’s chemical properties.
e. Compare and contrast types of chemical bonds (i.e. ionic, covalent).

To be successful on this test, you must

Know

  • The names and symbols of all 51 elements from elements quiz
  • Group (family) names in the periodic table
  • Electron configurations
  • The vocabulary terms
  • The difference between covalent and ionic bonds
  • Characteristics of ionic compounds
  • The rules for naming binary ionic compounds (-ides)
  • Which monatomic ions have roman numerals in their names, and how to work with those
  • The rules for naming oxyanions (-ates and -ites)

Understand

  • Why certain compounds have covalent bonds, while others have ionic bonds
  • What charges ions have based on their position on the periodic table

Be Able to

  • Predict the type of bonding, based on elements’ positions (and electronegativity) on the periodic table
  • Name ionic compounds (-ides)
  • Name oxyanions (-ites and -ates)
  • Name polyatomic ionic compounds
  • Draw Lewis dot structures for binary ionic compounds
