SNC2D Topic 1 Test Review

1. What is an ionic compound?


A compound consisting of cations and ions held together by ionic bonds.
2. Give the Bohr diagram (include number of P, N and E) for a
a. Calcium atom b. Calcium ion
P=20 P=20
N=20 N=20
E=20 E=18
3. What is meant by the term “crystal” when describing ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds form indefinitely repeating patterns, in a 3D configuration where
cations and anions build on each other. This 3D assembly of ions is called a crystal (eg a
crystal of salt)
4. What does it mean that the formula of an ionic compound can be considered a ratio?
How does this compare to molecular compounds?
The repeating pattern of an ionic compound crystal can carry on forever, so that the
exact number of ions in the crystal is constantly changing. The ratio of cations to anions
remains constant so that the overall charge of the crystal is zero (neutral).
Molecular compounds, however, are built to the exact number of atoms in the chemical
formula. Their formula, therefore, cannot be put into lowest terms.
5. What is an ionic bond?
The force of attraction between cations (+) and anions (-) which holds ionic compounds
together.
6. Define “cation” and “anion”.
Cation – Positively charged ion. Anion – Negatively charged ion.
7. Describe the process of ionic compounds dissolving in water.
Water is boomerang shaped. One end of the molecule has a slight positive charge and
the other end has a slight negative charge. This means water can surround ions in a
crystal and balance their charge, taking them away to float freely in solution. Given
enough time, water will surround and take away all the ions in a crystal and the
compound is then completely dissolved. The ions are still present in the solution, just no
longer attached to their opposing ion. (The ionic bonds are broken by water).

8. What is a polyatomic ion?


An ion consisting of more than one atom covalently bonded.
9. What is a multivalent metal?
A metal that can form more than one stable ion charge.
10. How does an atom become an ion? Using diagrams, give an example.
by losing or gaining electrons in an effort to achieve a stable “full” valence electron
shell.
11. What is a molecule?
More than one non-metal in a stable arrangement of covalent bonds.
12. What is a covalent bond?
Shared valence electrons helping each atom achieve a full valence electron shell
13. Draw Lewis diagrams to show the covalent bonds in:
a. NH2CH2CH3

b. Dicarbon tetrachloride

c. CH3CHO
14. Give the name of:

C3N2 In2(CO3)3 AlF3 NiSO4

Pd(OH)4 IO Ba(ClO3)2 V3(PO4)5


15. Give the formula of:

Tetrasilicon heptachloride Telurium trioxide

Thallium (III) chromate Copper (II) silicate

Ammonium selenide Scandium cyanide

Silver nitrate Lead (IV) hydrogen phosphate

14. Tricarbon dinitride Indium carbonate Aluminum fluoride Nickel (II) sulfate

Palladium (IV) hydroxide Iodine monoxide Barium chlorate Vanadium (V) phosphate
15. Si4Cl7 TeO3 Tl2(CrO4)3 CuSiO3 (NH4)2Se Sc(CN)3 AgNO3 Pb(HPO4)2
