3.2 group 2 + halogens Flashcards
going down group 2 atomic radius:
increases
going down group 2 first ionisation energy:
decreases
going down group 2 melting point:
decreases
would group 2 be reducing or oxidising agents?
reducing agents as another element will be reudced when they recieve the 2 electrons
group 2 reaction with oxygen
group 2 reaction with acids
group 2 reaction with water
down the group, solubility of hydroxides of group 2 elements:
increases
use of Mg(OH)₂
sold as indigestion remedy
use of Ca(OH)₂
limewater
treat agriculture to treat acidic soil
use of CaCO₃
indigestion remedy
group 2 oxide reaction with water
properties of the halogens
- diatomic molecules
- instantaneous dipole-induced dipole
down the group the boiling point of halogens: + why
increases because more electrons = stronger forces = more energy needed
down the group the electronegativity of halogens: + why
decreases because shielding increases so electrons less attracted so electronegativty decreases
