9. Periodic Table Flashcards
Physical properties of g1
Good conductor of heat and electricity
Soft
Low density
Low mp and bp
Chemical properties of g1
very reactive
Burst into flames when heated with oxygen
Li - red, na- yellow, k - lilac
React with water to form g1 metal hydroxide and hydrogen
React with oxygen forming metal oxide
React with halogen to form a metal halide
Oxides can dissolve in water forming an alkaline solution of the metal hydroxide
Alkali metal
Soft, mp and bp decrease down the group, get softer down the group, increase density down the group
Reactivity increased down the group
Have to be stored under oil to stop them from reacting with oxygen from the air
When cut, show a silvery surface that oxidise quickly
Properties of g7
Formed color gases Poisonous Diatomic - 2 atoms in each molecules Cl - green gas, br - reddish brown liquid, I - greyish black solid Brittle and crumbly in solid form Don't conduct electricity
G7 reaction with g1 metal
Halide salts formed when metals react with halogen
Reactivity of the halogen with Na decrease down the group
Reaction of halogens with halide ions
More reactive halogen displaces a less reactive halogen from a solution of its halide
Displacement reaction
Pattern of halogen
Size, mass, density and color darkness increase down the group
Reactivity decrease down the group bc it has to gain electron so the closer the electron is to the positive nucleus the more easily it will be gained
Transition metal
High densities
High mp and forming coloured compound
Catalyst
Stronger and harder than g1 metal
Leas reactive than metals from other groups
Dont react with cold water, some react with steam
Noble gases
Unreactive colorless gas
Monatonic
Density increases down the group
Bp increase down the group
Uses of noble gases
He: weather balloon and airship bc it is lighter than air, inert (rather than H bc it is highly flammable)
Neon: advertising signs because it glows red when a high voltage is passed through
Argon: inert atmosphere in the extraction of titanium to stop the metal from oxidising
Argon: electric light bulb - prevent the filament burning
