Page 2: Complex Molar Mass Calculations and Compound Naming

The page delves into calculating molar masses for more complex compounds and introduces the basics of naming ionic compounds. Detailed examples demonstrate the process of combining atomic masses to find molecular weights.

Example: CO₂ has a molar mass of 44.01 g/mol (C = 12.01 + 2(O = 16))

Vocabulary: Ionic compounds are compounds formed between metals and non-metals.

Highlight: Systematic naming conventions follow specific patterns based on the elements involved.

Page 3: Ionic Compounds and Polyatomic Ions

This section covers the naming of ionic compounds and introduces polyatomic ions. The content explains how to properly name compounds containing both simple ions and polyatomic ions.

Definition: Polyatomic ions are charged species containing multiple atoms bonded together.

Example: KI (Potassium Iodide) demonstrates simple ionic compound naming.

Vocabulary: Common polyatomic ions include hydroxide (OH⁻), ammonium (NH₄⁺), and sulfate (SO₄²⁻).

Page 4: Writing Chemical Formulas

The focus shifts to writing chemical formulas for both molecular and ionic compounds. The page provides detailed instructions for converting between names and formulas.

Example: Phosphorous Pentachloride is written as PCl₅.

Highlight: When writing ionic compound formulas, the charges must balance to create a neutral compound.

Page 5: Advanced Ionic Compound Formulas

This page covers more complex ionic compound formulas, particularly those involving transition metals with multiple possible charges.

Definition: Transition metals can have multiple oxidation states, requiring Roman numerals to specify the charge.

Example: Iron(II) Sulfide is written as FeS, where iron has a +2 charge.

Page 6: Types of Chemical Reactions

The page introduces various types of chemical reactions, including combination, decomposition, combustion, and displacement reactions.

Definition: Combination reactions involve two or more reactants forming one product.

Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O demonstrates a neutralization reaction.

Highlight: Combustion reactions always involve oxygen and typically produce CO₂ and H₂O.

Page 1: Balancing Equations and Molar Mass Calculations

This page introduces fundamental concepts of chemical equation balancing and molar mass calculations. The content focuses on the systematic approach to balancing chemical equations and calculating molecular weights.

Definition: Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

Example: The molar mass of nitrogen (N) is 14.01 g/mol.

Highlight: When balancing equations, only coefficients can be changed, not subscripts.
