Periodic Table Cheat Sheet
1. Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element (also equals number of electrons)
2. Atomic Mass = Mass of the protons and neutrons
3. Mass Number = Number of protons + number of neutrons (to figure out mass number, round the atomic mass to its nearest whole number)
4. Number of Neutrons = Mass number – Atomic number
A. Naming Ionic Compounds
NaCl
1. Write down the name of the metal ion first – Sodium
2. Write down the name of the non-metal ion second but change the ending to “ide” – Chloride
3. Therefore NaCl = Sodium Chloride
* Sometimes a metal ion has more than one charge so you need to use Roman numerals to indicate the one you are using. Example: Copper(II) Chloride has copper with a 2+
B. Writing ionic formulas
Magnesium Chloride
1. Write down metal ion first with its charge – Mg2+
2. Write down the non-metal ion next with its charge – Mg2+Cl-
3. Keep adding either metal or non-metal ions until the charges balance. They must equal zero – Mg2+Cl-Cl-
4. Count the number of ions of each element and put the number as a subscript to the right of the ion symbol and remove the charge. Remember the number 1 is invisible
5. Therefore Mg2+Cl-Cl- = MgCl2
C. Naming Molecular Compounds – These are when two or more non-metals join
OCl2
1. Write down the element name for the first element – Oxygen
2. If there is more than one atom of an element you need to add the appropriate prefix below:
Prefixes for molecular compounds
|1 atom |mono-don’t use for first | |6 atoms |hexa- |
| |element | | | |
|2 atoms |di- | |7 atoms |hepta- |
|3 atoms |tri- | |8 atoms |octa- |
|4 atoms |tetra- | |9 atoms |nona- |
|5 atoms |penta- | |10 atoms |deca- |
3. Write the name of the second element with the “ide” ending and include the prefix – dichloride
4. Therefore OCl2 = Oxygen dichloride
D. Writing formulas for molecular compounds – You don’t balance molecular compounds (You only balance equations that contain a metal)
Dinitrogen Tetraoxide
1. Turn the element names into symbols – N O
2. Add the prefixes as subscripts – N2O4
3. Therefore Dinitrogen Tetraoxide = N2O4
