Q

Summary

A

Group 1 elements are called the alkali metals.

They are soft metals that tarnish quickly in air.

The Group 1 metals get more reactive as we go down the group.

Their melting points decrease as we go down the group. The melting points are all low for metals, as are the densities of these elements.

The alkali metals are the most reactive group of metals in the Periodic Table. They form soluble compounds that are usually white.

They react vigorously with water, giving off hydrogen gas and producing an alkaline solution.

Because they are very reactive, they are stored under oil.

Q

Why do the alkali metals get more reactive as we go down the group?

A

Because

This is because as we go down the group the outer electron of the atom is further from the attractive force of the nucleus. It is also shielded from the nucleus by more complete lower energy levels (full inner shells) of electrons.

If an electron is further from the attractive force of the nucleus, it is easier to remove it from the atom so it becomes more reactive

Q

Why the alkali metals are the most reactive group of metals in the Periodic Table?

A

the atoms of alkali metals all have just one electron in their highest energy level (outer shell) and It is relatively easy to lose this one electron

losing this outer electron, they form stable ions with a 1+ charge, e.g. Na+.

A

•Name two group 1 metals

Lithium and sodium

•Describe the trend in reactivity down period 1

they get more reactive as we go down the group and the reactions occur more rapidly

•Explain the trend in reactivity down group 1

As we move down the group the atoms have more shells of electrons and the atom gets bigger. and as the atom gets bigger the outer electrome is further from the nucleus so it is less strongly attached by the nucleus , and therefore it is more easily lost.

•Explain why group 1 metals are called the alkali metals

Because they react with water forming a metal hydroxide which is alkaline. PH above 7 (universal indicator is blue) (OH- ion)

•What gas is produced when the group 1 metals react with water- how can we test for the presence of this gas?

Hydrogen which burns with a lilac flame.

48
Q

Physical Properties of Halogens

A
  • The boiling points of the halogens increases down the group.
  • Fluorine and chlorine are gases at RTP.
  • Bromine is a liquid at RTP.
  • Iodine is a solid at RTP.
49
Q

The boiling points of the halogens increases down the group 7 (halogens) Explain why

A

this can be explained because the size of the intermolecular forces down the group increase. This means a higher temperature and more energy is needed to overcome the attractions between molecules to change to the gaseous state.

50
Q

How do halogen molecules exist?

A

All halogen atoms require one more electron to obtain a full outer shell and become stable.

Each atom can achieve this by sharing one electron with another atom to form a single covalent bond.

diatomic molecules

Reactivity ………… up the group.

A

increases

53
Q

The reactivity of halogens decreases going down the group. What is the reason for this?

A
  • The atoms of each element get larger going down the group.
  • This means that the outer shell gets further away from the nucleus and is shielded by more electron shells.
  • The further the outer shell is from the positive attraction of the nucleus, the harder it is to attract another electron to complete the outer shell.

58
Q

Astatine is below iodine in group 7. Predict, with a reason, which halogens astatine will displace from solutions of their halides.

A

Astatine will not displace any of the other halogens as reactivity decreases down the group so astatine is the least reactive.

59
Q

During a displacement reaction, the halogen atoms gain an electron to form a negative halide ion.

Fluorine atoms form F− ions and chlorine atoms form Cl− ions.

draw the electronic structure ( brackets, and ions)

A
60
Q

As you go down group 7, it becomes more difficult for the atoms to form a negative ion because:

A

the atoms are getting larger as there are more shells of electrons

so the force of attraction between the positive nucleus and the incoming electron decreases.

61
Q

§the atoms are getting larger as there are more shells of electrons

§

§so the force of attraction between the positive nucleus and the incoming electron decreases.

A

Iodine atoms are larger than chlorine atoms as they have more shells of electrons.

There is a weaker force of attraction between the positive nucleus and the incoming electron in iodine than in chlorine.

72
Q

Give 3 causes for the Release of Carbon Dioxide

A
  1. Excess Carbon dioxide can cause a process known as Global Warming.
  2. Acid rain can also release carbon dioxide from rocks; acidic oceans can react with rocks or corals that contain calcium carbonate to also release carbon dioxide gas.
  3. Carbon dioxide is also stored in the lakes and oceans – an increase in temperature can reduce carbon dioxide’s solubility and it is release into the atmosphere.
  4. Carbon dioxide is stored in rocks as carbonates e.g. calcium carbonate.

The carbonates undergo thermal decomposition (breaking down by heating) in many industrial processes

CaCO3 à CaO + CO2

73
Q

explain the reason that the melting points decrease as we go down the group 1

A

this is because the atoms get bigger as we go down the group. in the metallic lattice the protons are further from the delocalised electrons in caesium than in sodium and therefore there is weaker electrostatic attraction.

what is the initial colour of Copper?

what is the colour at the end of the experement?

why did the colour change?

Explain why you waited for the apparatus to cool down after the experiment before reading the volume of air in the syringe.

A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAQ3ACUICcY

so the oxygen in the air reacts with the copper.

when the copper color turnes into black

the volume of the air gets smaller

initial is orange, final is black

cupper reacted with oxygen in the air forming copper oxide

the air volume we measured at the start of the experiment was cool air (100cm3) , and in order to have a fair experiment, we need to let the air cool down so we measure the volume of cool air as well.

otherwise the experiment is not fair.

82
Q

what is your observation for the sodium water reaction?

A
  1. the sodium floats because it is less dense than water
  2. the sodium melts into a ball because its melting point is low and a lot of heat is produced by the reaction (exothermic)
  3. there is fizzing because hydrogen gas is produced.
  4. the sodium moves around on the surface of the water because the hydrogen isn’t given off symmetrically around the ball, the sodium is pushed around the surface of the water by the hydrogen.
  5. the piece of sodium gets smaller an eventually disappears ( used up)
  6. test using universal indicator gives blue.

They all have one electrone in their outer shell . the elctronic configurations are:

lithium : 2,1

Sodium, 2,8,1

Potassium 2,8,8,1

also they have similar chemical properties such as

  1. they react with water in the same way to form hydroxide with the formula MOH
  2. they react with oxygen to form oxide with the formula M2O
  3. they react with halogens to form compunds with formula MX
  4. they form ionic compunds which contain an M+ ion.

Q

summary of groups 1 main features

A
  1. are metals
  2. are soft with melting point and densities which are very low for metal.
  3. have to be stored out of contact with air or water
  4. react rapidly with air to form coatings of the metal oxide
  5. react with water to produce alkaline solution of the metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas
  6. increase in reactivity as you do down the group
  7. form compunds in which the metal has a 1+ ion
  8. have mainly white colourless coumpunds which dissolve to produce colourless solutions.

Q

find the names of the below letters

B is a metal when dropped onto water it melts into a small ball and moves rapidly around the surface , a gas C is given off and this burns with a lilac flame a solution D is formed

write the reaction equation with state symbol

A

B = Potassium

C = hydrogen

D = Potassium hydroxide KOH

2K(s) + 2H2O(l) —> 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)

Q

Explain why all metals in group 1 they react the same with water?

A

chemical properties depend on the number of electrons in the outer shell, and since they all have the same number of electrone in the outer shell (one) so they all have similar chemical properties and react the same with water.

95
Q

All metals in group 1 they react the same way with water

write the equation

write the equation for fracium

A

2M + 2H2O —-> 2MOH + H2

2Fr(s) + 2H2O(l) —-> 2FrOH(aq) + H2(g)

96
Q

predict the features of facium (Fr)

A

very soft

melting point is around the room temperature

has density over 2g/CM3

silvery metal tarnish instantly when cut

react with water violently forming fracium hydroxide and hydrogen

the solution FrOH is strongly alkaline

will form compounds that are white / clourless and dissolve in water giving a colourless solution.
