Difference between -ous and -ic in a cation |
-ous = lower charge -ic = higher charge |
Nonmetal cations have what nomenclature ending? |
-ium |
Monatomic anions (and some simple polyatomic anions) have what nomenclature ending? |
-ide |
Polyatomic anions containing oxygen (oxyanions) can have which nomenclature endings? |
-ate most commonly, and -ite when there is one fewer oxygen atom but the same charge |
Which prefixes can oxyanions have? |
per- when there is one more oxygen atom than the oxyanion ending in -ate hypo- when there is one fewer oxygen atom than the oxyanion ending in -ite |
Anions derived by adding H+ to an oxyanion are named by adding which prefix(es)? |
hydrogen or dihydrogen as appropriate |
Acids containing anions whose names end in -ide are named by |
changing the -ide ending to -ic, adding the prefix hydro-, then following with the word "acid" |
Acids containing anions whose names end in -ate or -ite are named by |
changing -ate to -ic or -ite to -ous, the adding the word "acid" |

relationship of wavelength to momentum |
wavelength = h/mv where h = Planck's constant and v = frequency |
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle |
uncertainty of position * uncertainty (change in) mv is greater than or equal to h/4π Therefore, to find the uncertainty of position, do h/(4πm * change in v) |
