22 Periodicity Flashcards
Magnesium and cold water
Mg(s) + 2H2O (l) ➡️ Mg(OH)2 (aq) + H2
Reaction slow at room temp
Mg(s) + H2O ➡️ MgO (s) + H2
Both redox reactions
Sodium and cold water
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l). ➡️ 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
Vigorous
Sodium floats on the surface and fizzes rapidly
sodium
magnesium
aluminum
metallic
shiny (when freshly exposed to air)
conduct electricity
react with dilute acids to give hydrogen and salts
silicon
semi-metal (metalloid)
conduct electricity to some extent
semiconductor
Phosphorus
sulfur
chlorine
non-metals
do not conduct electricity
low melting and boiling points
argon
chemically unreactive
exists as separate atoms
sodium and oxygen
burns brightly in air
with a yellow flame (because of sodium peroxide Na2O2)
2Na (s) + 1/2 O2 (g) ➡️ Na2O (s)
period 3 and oxygen
relativity reactive
reactions are exothermic
magnesium and oxygen
strip of magnesium ribbon burns in air with a bright white flame
white power produced is magnesium oxide
2Mg (s) + O2(g) ➡️ 2MgO
aluminium and oxygen
burns brightly
4Al (s) + 3O2(g) ➡️ 2Al2O3
aluminium
reactive metal but it is always coated with a strongly bonded structure layer of oxide, this protects it from further reaction
so it appears as an unreceptive metal
silicon and oxygen
Si (s) + O2 (g) ➡️ SiO2 (s)
red phosphorus and oxygen
has to be heated before it will react with oxygen
4P(s) + 5O2(g) ➡️ P4O10(s)
white phosphorus and oxygen
spontaneously ignites in air
4P(s) + 5O2(g) ➡️ P4O10(s)
limited supply of oxygen
4P(s) + 5O2(g) ➡️ P2O3(s)
sulfur and oxygen
when sulfur powder is heated and lowered into a gas jar of oxygen, it burns with a blue flame to form the colourless gas sulfur dioxide
S(s) + O2(g) ➡️ SO2(g)
sodium oxide
magnesium oxide
aluminum oxide
giant ionic lattices
high melting points
Aluminum oxide
ionic but has some covalent character
small ion with a large positive charge
silicon oxide
ginat covalent (macromolecular) structure high melting point because many strong covalent bonds must be broken to melt it
phosphorus and sulfur oxide
covalently bonded molecules
intermolecule forces are weak van Der Waals and dipole-dipole forces
relatively low melting points
