Q

Define Disproportionation

A

Reduction and oxidation of the same element in the same reaction

17
Q

Define Oxidising Agent

A

Takes electrons from the species being oxidised

18
Q

Define Reducing Agent

A

Adds electrons to the species being reduced

19
Q

How to write elemental half-equations

A
  • Calculate overall charge on each side
  • Add electrons to more positive side
  • Ensure fully balanced
20
Q

How is the periodic table arranged

A

Increasing atomic number

21
Q

How to write half-equations for acidic conditions

A
  • Balance the element changing oxidation state
  • For every oxygen, add an H2O to the other side
  • For every hydrogen, add an H+ to the other side
  • Use electrons to ensure both sides have the same charge
22
Q

What do elements in periods in the periodic table have

A

Repeating trends in physical and chemical properties

23
Q

What do elements in groups of the periodic table have

A

Similar chemical properties

24
Q

Define Periodicity

A

The repeating trends in physical and chemical properties across different periods

25
Q

How to explain why an element is in the s/d/p block

A

It’s highest energy electron is in the s/d/p subshell

26
Q

Define First Ionisation Energy

A

The energy required to remove 1mol of electrons from 1mol of gaseous atoms

27
Q

How to explain differences in ionisation energies

A
  • Electron shells
  • Atomic radius
  • Sheilding
  • Nuclear charge
  • Sheilding + atomic radius outweigh nuclear charge
  • Nuclear attraction
28
Q

What must always be stated when describing changes in ionisation energies

A

Sheilding - even if has no effect

29
Q

When given an ionisation energy graph for an element, how can you tell what group that element is in

A
  • Greatest jump in ionisation energies
  • Jump 4 - 5
  • In group 4
30
Q

General equation for first ionisation energy

A
31
Q

General equation for second ionisation energy

A
32
Q

Draw a graph for ionisation energies across period 2

A
33
Q

What element has highest first ionisation energy

A

Helium

34
Q

On first ionisation energy graphs, there is a general increase - what are the exceptions

A
  • New shell - decrease
  • p subshell - decrease
  • group 6 - decrease (new electron in singular paired orbital so more repulsion)
