SPECIAL MOLECULES
Diatomic Molecules
Atoms that join together with other atoms form MOLECULES.
If there is only ONE type of atom it is a molecular element or Diatomic Molecule (prefix di means two)
There are 7 elements that for molecules consisting of two atoms:
H2
HYDROGEN O2 OXYGEN F2 FLUORINE Br2 BROMINE I2 IODINE N2 NITROGEN Cl2 CHLORINEMost molecules contain more than one type of element. These molecules are called MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS.
Polyatomic Ions Tightly bound groups of atoms that behave
as a single unit and have ONE charge When two or more non-metal atoms bond
to each other, they do so by sharing electrons.
Sometime even after sharing electrons, the collection of atoms needs even more electrons than what it can get by sharing
Common Polyatomic Ions
Examples Al(OH)3
KHCO3
Na(NO3) CaSO4
Li3(PO4) Mg(ClO3)2
KCN
