1.1 - Periodic Table Flashcards
What is electronegativity
An elements ability to attract electrons often referred to as simply the ‘pulling power’ of an atom, also known as affinity
What is the most electronegative element
Fluorine
lowest to highest electronegative elements
Metals -> metalloids -> non-metals
What are oxides
compounds that contain oxygen
How do you determine the reactivity of oxides
Can be determined based on the elements position on the periodic table
What are the acidic oxide reaction types
1) React with bases, usually Hydroxide ions
2) Reacts with water
What are acidic oxides
Oxides of non-metals, or elements with high electronegativity
Write the chemical reaction with hydroxide ions
Acidic oxide + Hydroxide ion ——> Oxyanion + water
What is an oxyanion
a negatively charged ion of the element combined with oxygen (o-)
Write the chemical reaction for sulphur dioxide
SO2 + 2OH- ——> SO23- + H2O
What is an oxyacid
when the acidic oxide reacts and dissolves in water
What is a basic oxide
Oxides with metal elements or those with low electronegativity. these compounds are ionic
What are the two basic oxide reactions
1) React with acids, usually hydrogen ions
2) reacts with water
Draw the basic oxide reacting with hydrogen ions
basic oxide + hydrogen ions —–> metal ion + water
Write the chemical reaction of Copper (II) oxide
CuO + 2H+ ——> Cu2+ + H2O
Write the basic oxide reacting with water
Basic oxide + water —–> metal ions + Hydroxide ions
