Document Summary

Things not covered but you really need to know: Section 3. 4 formulas and names (nomenclature), including table 3. 3 (polyatomic anions). Formula mass and the mole concept for compounds $ A definite group of atoms that are chemically bonded together. An abbreviated description of the composition of a molecule. Indicates the actual numbers and types of atoms in a molecule. Tell us the number and type of molecule. They do not tell how they are bonded. Empirical formulas: give the relative numbers and types of atoms in a molecule. Molecular is better tells you how many in each while empirical is simplified. Definition: a compound consisting of cations (positive charge) and anions (negative charge), associated to give an overall neutral (zero charge) species. Generally, a combination of metal and non-metal species. An ion is formed when a neutral atom gains or loses one or more electrons. A neutral atom that gains one or more electrons forms an anion.
