Document Summary

The periodic table is a chart (containing symbols) of all the known elements arranged by increasing atomic number (z) of the element. (the atomic number is numerically equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms. ) Organic: compounds that contain at least one carbon atom. Inorganic: compounds that contain atoms other than carbon. Exceptions are inorganic compounds such as carbon monoxide (co), carbon dioxide (co2), etc. For the purpose of nomenclature (systematic naming), inorganic compounds are classiied as those: Containing a metal and a nonmetal (ionic compounds) They are formed by the electrostatic attraction between a positive ion (cation from the metal) and a negative ion (anion from the nonmetal). Electrons are transferred from the atoms of one element to the atoms of another element. In general, metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons. Ionic compounds are charge neutral (zero net charge).
