Q

what was the downfall of ordering the periodic table by atomic weight?

A

some elements were placed in columns with elements with dissimilar properties and their were gaps because of undiscovered elements.

Q

why did Mendeleev leave gaps in his periodic table?

A

to make sure elements with similar properties stayed in the same groups and for elements he thought hadn’t been discovered and allowed Mendeleev to predict their properties.

Q

how did the discovery of isotopes confirm that Mendeleev was correct to take into account the properties of elements when ordering them?

A

isotopes of the same element have different masses but the same chemical properties so they occupy the same place on the periodic table

Q

what does the number of a group tell us about the element’s electronic structure?

Q

why do metals lose electrons to get full outer shells?

A

metals to the left don’t have many electrons to lose and the outer electrons of the metals towards the bottom are further away from the nucleus so weaker attraction.Overall,less energy needed to lose electrons to form positive ions w/full outer shell

Q

why do non metals gain or share electrons to get full outer shells?

A

towards the right of the periodic table,they have lots of electrons to remove to get a full outer shell and towards the top,the outer electrons are close to the nucleus so they have a strong attraction to it so its easier to share or gain electrons to get a full outer shell

Q

what is the reactivity trend down the alkali metals?

A

reactivity increases down the group.This is because G1 react by losing their one outer shell electron.

As you go down, the outer electron is further away from the nucleus

so less attraction between them and so the outer electron is more easily

so the atom loses an electron more easily

37
Q

A

2

38
Q

A

they all have the same number of electrons in the outer shell(seven)

39

poisonous yellow gas

40

43
Q

what are halogens?

A

non-metals

44
Q

what molecular form do halogens exist as?

A

diatomic molecules

45
Q

what is the reactivity trend down the halogens?

A

reactivity decreases down the group. This is because G1 react by gaining one outer shell electron.

As you go down, the outer electrons is further away from the nucleus so less attraction between them and so theirs less attraction from the nucleus pulling electrons into the atom.

46
Q

what is the melting and boiling point trend down the halogens?

A

the m.p and b.p increase as you go down the group.

47
Q

what is the relative atomic mass trend of halogens?

A

the relative atomic mass increases as you go down the group.

48
Q

how do halogens react with non-metals?

A

they share electrons via covalent bonding to achieve a full outer shell.The compounds that form all have simple molecular structures.

49
Q

how do halogens react with metals?

A

its easy to gain an extra electron.When halogens gain an electron they form 1- ions (halide ions)

50
Q

halogens:displacement reactions

A

a more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halogen from an aqueous solution of its salt.

eg. Chlorine(g) would displace the bromine in potassium bromide(aq) to produce bromine(aq) + potassium chloride(aq)

51
Q

why are noble gases unreactive?

A

they have a full outer shell of electrons(energetically stable)

52
Q

how reactive are noble gases?

A

they are more or less inert(don’t react with much)

53
Q

what is the b.p and m.p trends of noble gases?

A

increase as you move down the group

54
Q

what is the relative atomic mass of trend down the nobles gases?

A

increases as you go down

55
Q

why does the b.p increase as you go down the noble gases?

A

the atomic number increases down the group so the number of electrons increases which causes the intermolecular forces between the atoms to increase so more energy is needed to break them so the b.p increases.

56
Q

how can you predict the properties pf elements in groups?

A

the trend in properties within groups means you can use the information about some elements to predict the properties in other elements

57
Q

what are transition metals?

A

metals with similar properties which are different those of the elements in groups 1.

58
Q

what are the properties of transition metals?

A

1.good conductors of heat and electricity
2.dense,strong and shiny

59
Q

how are transition metals different to alkali metals?[3]

A

1.TM are less reactive eg.Na fizzes violently with water but Mn doesn’t react with water at room temperature

2.TM are denser,stronger and harder.eg.K is soft and floats on water but Ni is harder and sinks

3.TM have higher m.p.eg.Fe melts at 1538 degrees wheras K melts at 63 degrees

60
Q

transition metal ions

A

TM can form ions of different charges eg.Copper can form Cu+ or Cu2+

61
Q

transition metals compounds

A

form colourful compound.The colour is due to the TM ions they contain eg.copper(II) sulfate is blue

62
Q

Transition metals as catalysts

A

TM and their compounds are good catalysts eg.Nickel is the catalyst used to hydrogenate alkenes
