Making Sense of the ingredients label! Chemical Names & Formulas
Atoms and ions Atoms  are electrically neutral. Same number of protons and electrons. Ions  atoms, or groups of atoms, with a charge. Different numbers of protons and electrons. Only electrons can move. Gain or lose electrons.
Anion A negative ion. Has gained electrons. Non metals can gain electrons. Charge is written as a super script on the right. F -1 Has gained  one electron O -2 Has gained  two electrons
Cations Positive ions. Formed by  losing  electrons. More protons than electrons. Metals form cations. K +1 Has lost  one electron Ca +2 Has lost two electrons
Compounds Follow the Law of Definite Proportion. Have a constant composition. Have to add the same number of atoms every time. Two types.
Two Types of Compounds Molecular compounds Made of molecules. Made by joining nonmetal atoms together into molecules.
Two Types of Compounds Ionic Compounds Made of cations and anions. Metals and nonmetals. The electrons lost by the cation are gained by the anion. The cation and anions surround each other. Smallest piece is a  FORMULA UNIT.
Two Types of Compounds Smallest  piece Melting Point State Types of elements Formula Unit Molecule Metal and Nonmetal Nonmetals solid Solid, liquid or gas High >300ºC Low <300ºC Ionic Molecular
Chemical Formulas Shows the kind and number of atoms in the smallest piece of a substance. Molecular formula number and kinds of atoms in a molecule. CO 2   C 6 H 12 O 6
Formula Unit The smallest whole number ratio of atoms in an ionic compound.
Charges on ions For most of the Group A elements, the Periodic Table can tell what kind of ion they will form from their location. Elements in the same group have similar properties. Including the charge when they are ions.
+2 +1 +3 -3 -2 -1
What about the others? We have to figure those out some other way. More on this later.
Naming ions Two methods Stock System & Classical Cation- if the charge is always the same (Group A) just write the name of the metal. Transition metals can have more than one type of charge. Indicate the charge  with roman numerals in parenthesis.
