Midterm 1:
The first midterm will be graded by myself and a few other graders tomorrow and Saturday.
Tests will be reviewable starting Monday using the Gradescope software which can be found on Canvas. 
We will be using a rubric so that you can know exactly how you were graded. 
I recommend printing a copy then reviewing the answer key in the big display case outside SCNC 336 next to the chemistry computer lab. See map below for location of answer key .
After reviewing, if you notice any discrepancies you can submit a regrade request in Gradescope.

Chemical Formulae
A representation of a substance using symbols and subscripts to show the ratio of the atoms contained in each compound. 
The set of atoms described by the formula is known as a formula unit. (Parentheses) and [Brackets] are used to indicate multiples of the same group.

The Chemical Bond
Chemical bonds are the forces that hold atoms together in crystals or molecules
There are many types of bonds that vary in strength, length, and type

Ionic Compounds are made of electrostatic (coulombic) attractions
Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals
Metals have low ionization energies therefore it is easy to remove electrons
Nonmetals have high electron affinities therefore they readily gain electrons
In an ionic bond e-'s are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. No line is drawn
Ionization energy   X   ->    X+ (cations)  +   e-
Electron affinity      X    +  e-    ->   X- (anions)

The chemical formula for an Ionic Compound is the simplest electrically neutral set of ions
The total positive charge from the metal cations = the total negative charge from the anions
These ions are arranged in a highly ordered, three-dimensional lattice structure
Due to this arrangement, ionic compounds form crystalline solids
These have very high melting points! It takes a lot of energy to break these compounds.
Ionic compounds are often referred to as salts for their similarities to sodium chloride (Table salt)
Common "salts" include potassium nitrate (KNO₃), magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), & calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)

Molecules are formed from covalent bonds
Molecules are composed of two or more atoms that are connected by covalent chemical bonds between two nonmetal atoms.
A covalent bond is a sharing (nonpolar covalent bond) or partial sharing (polar covalent bond) of electrons between atoms.
Atoms can share 2, 4, or 6 electrons to form single, double, or triple bonds.
In some unusual cases, the sharing of electrons is more complicated (1 electron bonds, three atom 2 electron bonds)
Covalent bonds form because they lower the potential energy between single atoms. The bond we draw is a representation of the orbital overlap between the atoms.
Molecular formulas show the exact number of atoms of each element in a molecule. 
These formulas do not indicate the connectivity or the spatial geometry.

We will spend all of next week learning how to draw molecules using Lewis Structures and to predict shapes using VSEPR.
The Properties of Metals are the result of metallic bonding
Imagine a metal as a structure composed of closely packed, positively charged metal ions. These ions form a regular lattice, similar to the closely packed spheres in a crate. 
 The valence electrons of these metal atoms are not bound to any specific atom but are free to move throughout the entire structure.
 The valence electrons of these metal atoms are not bound to any specific atom but are free to move throughout the entire structure.
Conductivity: Because the electrons can move freely, they can carry electrical current through the metal, similar to how water in a sea can carry waves across vast distances.
Malleability and Ductility: When a force is applied to the metal, the ions in the lattice can slide past one another, while the "sea" of electrons provides a cushion that prevents the ions from repelling each other and fracturing the metal. This is akin to moving objects submerged in water; the water flows around and accommodates the movement, allowing the objects to rearrange without breaking apart.

Examples of metals include gold, iron, aluminum, etc.

Polyatomic ions
Polyatomic ions are ions composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together, that function as a single charged entity.
Unlike monatomic ions, which consist of a single atom, polyatomic ions have a specific arrangement of atoms, often including oxygen, along with one or more other elements. 
These ions can have either a positive or negative charge, although negative polyatomic ions are more common.
The name of the polyatomic refers to the specific molecular formula and charge. Many sound similar learn the patterns
Hydrogen can also be present and they can be named as hydrogen or bi- ions.
The charge of the ions influences how they interact with ionic compounds
They also play crucial roles in biological processes.
This is a simplified list of the most common polyatomic ions.

Naming Ionic Compounds
There is a system to naming compounds known as nomenclature
Ionic compounds are named based on the composition and charge of the ions involved

Step 1: Name the cation (positive ion)

For elements: simply use the element's name.

For Transition metals: indicate the ion's charge with Roman numerals in parentheses if it is variable.


Step 2: Name the anion (negative ion)

For single element ions: Take the element's root name and add the suffix "-ide".

For polyatomic ions: Use the ion's common name.


Step 3: Combining the cation and anion

Write the name of the cation first, followed by the name of the anion.
Do not specify the number of ions in the name as the formula should already be 
the simplest ratio that results in a neutral compound

Examples:

Writing the Formula of Ionic Compounds
Writing the formula for ionic compounds requires understanding the charges of the ions involved and how they should combine to be neutral.
Use the ﷟HYPERLINK "https://boisestatecanvas.instructure.com/courses/28698/modules/items/2973274"periodic chart of the ions handout to help you learn the charges. Transition metals are often variable.
The ﷟HYPERLINK "https://boisestatecanvas.instructure.com/courses/28698/modules/items/2973258"method of charge crossing is the easiest approach.

Step 1: Identify the ions

Cations (positive ions): Usually the metal or the polyatomic ammonium ion (NH4+). The name of the cation is the element unless it’s a transition metal that can have more than one charge, then its name is specified with Roman numerals.

Anions (negative ions): They can be nonmetals which end in "-ide" or polyatomic ions (like sulfate, nitrite, acetate)

Step 2: Determine the charges

Use the ion table to determine the charge of each ion. Many of these should be committed to memory. For example, the group 1 elements form +1, group 2 elements form +2, and aluminum forms +3. Commonly used polyatomics like phosphate and nitrate are very common and knowing their charges and formulas (-3 and -1 respectively) are helpful.

Step 3: Balance the charges

The total positive charge must balance the total negative charge. 
Simplest approach: Cross superscripts to subscripts, then divide through by any common factor.

Step 4: Write the formula

Write the symbol of the cation first, followed by the symbol of the anion.
If more than one of a particular ion is needed to balance the charge, use a subscript to indicate the number of ions. 
Do not use a subscript for a single ion. 
For polyatomic ions that need a subscript, place the polyatomic ion in parentheses before adding the subscript.

Examples:
Name
Cation
Anion

Naming Covalent Molecules
Writing covalent compounds is different than naming ionic compounds.
The number of each atom is denoted with prefixes

Mono- (1) 
Di- (2)
Tri- (3)
Tetra- (4)
Penta- (5)
Hexa- (6)
Hepta- (7)
Octa- (8)
Nona- (9)
Deca- (10)
[Note: "Mono-" is often omitted for the first element]

Step 1: Name the first element as you would from the periodic table. Add the prefix for the number of atoms, but omit "mono-" if it is the first element

Step 2: Name the second element indicating the number of atoms with a prefix and changing the suffix to "-ide".

Writing the Formula of Covalent Molecules
Fairly straightforward, using the prefixes from above, do the reverse process.

Step 1: Write the first elements symbol with a subscript indicating the number of atoms from the prefix

Step 2: Write the second elements symbol with a subscript indicating the number of atoms from its prefix

Note if there is no prefix or it is "mono-" then no subscript should be used.
