Q

why are elements in group 1 so reactive

A

They only have 1 electron in their outershell so it is very easy to lose.

Q

Why are transition metal ions important?

A

They have different charges
Can form coloured compounds
Useful as catlysts

20
Q

What is the result of (a group 1 element) Lithium + Water?

A

Lithium hydroxide + hydrogen

21
Q

Why are group 1 elements called Alkali Metals?

A

They react with water to form an alkali

22
Q

Why does reactivity in group 1 increase as you move down the group?

A

As you go down the group, the atoms increase in size
The bigger the atom, the further away the Outer electron is from the nucleus
So, the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and outershell electron gets weaker
Making it easier for the atom to give up the electron
(This increases reactivity)

23
Q

What is the result of flourine + potassium chloride?

A

Potassium flouride + chlorine

24
Q

What properties do elements in group 0 (noble gases) have?

A

Full outer shells
Very unreactive - do not bond to form molecules
Boiling points increase as you go down the group

25
Q

What does ‘inert’ mean in chemistry?

A

Very unreactive

26
Q

What do group 1 elements react with?

A

Oxygen
Chlorine
Water

27
Q

What is the result of (a group 1 element) Lithium + Oxygen?

A

Lithium oxide

28
Q

What is the result of (a group 1 element) Lithium + Chlorine?

A

Lithium Chloride

29
Q

What is a metal?

A

An element which can form positive ions when they react

30
Q

How do you seperate Metals and Non-metals on the periodic table?

A

Draw a staircase line from Boron to Astatine

31
Q

What is the difference between metals and non-metals?

A

Non-metals dont generally form positive ions when they react

32
Q

Why do atoms react?

A

To form a full outershell

33
Q

How do atoms react to form a full outershell?

A

Losing, gaining or sharing electrons

34
Q

What are three properties of Metal?

A

They are strong
Good conductors of heat
Have high boiling points

35
Q

What happens to Group 1 Alkali Metals reactivity when they are put in water?

A

They react very vigorously

36
Q

What happens to Lithium, Sodium and Potassium (first three group 1 elements’) when they are put in water?

A

They float and move around the surface, fizzing furiously

37
Q

What happens when Potassium and Below in group 1, when they are put in water?

A

So much energy is given out that there is enough to ignite hydrogen

38
Q

What is formed when group 1 elements react vigourously in chlorine gas?

A

White salts called metal chlorides

39
Q

Why does reactivity decrease as you go down group 7?

A

The outershell gets further away from the nucleus, so it is harder to gain an extra electron

40
Q

Complete the equation for the reaction of potassium with water and balance the equation

K + H2O –>

A

(2) K + (2) H2O –> (2) KHO + H2

41
Q

What are the differences between the physical properties of group 1 and transition metals?

A

Group 1 is:
less dense
Has lower melting point and boiling point
Less strong

42
Q

Bromine Boiling point is 59°C.
Why is it not correct to say that the boiling point of a single bromine molecule is 59°C?

A

Its demonstrating the boiling points of ALL molecules in the substance, not just one.

43
Q

Why did most of the alpha particles pass through the gold foil in the alpha scattering experiment by Rutherford?

A

Most of the atom is ‘empty’ space

44
Q

Give one reason why it would be hazardous if water came into contact with
sodium.

A

Sodium is very explosive

45
Q

Suggest why a reacrion using a toxic gas is carried out in an atmosphere of
argon and not in air.

A

Oxygen in air can react
Argon is inert
