Q

How is the periodic table arranged?

A

Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number
8 vertical groups and 7 horizontal periods
Outer electron number corresponds to the group

Q

What are the 6 rules for oxidation numbers?

A
  • All elements have an ON of 0
  • Hydrogen is 1, unless with group 1 metal (then is -1)
  • Oxygen is -2, unless its a peroxide or reacted with fluorine, then its also -1
  • Group 1 and 2 elements are 1 and 2 respectively
  • Group 6 and 7 elements are -2 and -1 respectively
  • ON in a compound must add up to 0 or the ions charge

Q

What are 3 similarities of reaction between group 1 and 2?

A
  • both groups form oxides with oxygen or air
  • both groups form hydroxides with water
  • oxides/hydroxides are basic and react with acids to form a salt and water

25
Q

What is the solubility like in S-block elements?

A

All g1 salts are soluable in water
Solubility of g2 varies with what compound it has merged with

26
Q

What is important about calcium carbonate?

A

Important in the structure of rocks

27
Q

What is important about calcium phosphate?

A

Its a component of bone tissue

28
Q

Where are magnesium and calcium ions essential?

A

Biochem reactions in living organisms

29
Q

Which group is the most electronegative?

A

Group 7, they react to form anions with an oxidation state of -1

30
Q

What is the trend in reactivity in the halogens and why?

A

Reactivity reduces going down the group, as they are less able to attract electrons due to the size of the atom (less effect from the positive nucleus on the valence shell)

31
Q

What is the trend in melting points in the halogens and why?

A

Increase down the group as the intermolecular forces become stronger as the atom gets bigger

32
Q

What coloured precipitate do you get if you mix silver nitrate and chloride?

A

White (and also is the only one to dissolve in an aq ammonia solution)

33
Q

What coloured precipitate do you get if you mix silver nitrate and bromide?

A

Cream

34
Q

What colour precipitate do you get if you mix silver nitrate and iodide?

A

Yellow

35
Q

Why is chlorine added to drinking water?

A

To kill dangerous bacteria and viruses such as cholera and typhoid, thereby preventing the outbreak of serious disease.

36
Q

What is fluoride thought to help?

A

It is said to reduce tooth decay in children by strengthening tooth enamel and preventing cavity formation.
