C3.1 The Periodic Table Flashcards
What did Bunsen and Kirchoff do and when?
In 1859 they found more elements
What Dobereiner do and when?
In 1829 he put the element in property groups of 3
What did John Newlands do and when?
In 1860 he put the elements in order of increasing mass and groups of 8
What did Mendeleev do?
Put the elements in mass order but left gaps
When were elements put in proton number?
Early 20th century when subatomic particles were found
What is the density of alkali metals?
Low density
What group are alkali metals?
Group 1
What happens when you react an alkali metal with a non metal?
Makes a white solid that dissolves in water
What happens when you react an alkali metal with water?
Hydrogen is made and a hydroxide with dissolves in water to make an alkali solution
Explain the reactivity trend in alkali metals?
Reactivity increases group the group as the want to loose an electron and down the group the atom is larger so it’s further from the nucleus with more shielding so the electron is more easily removed
Explain the boiling point trend in alkali metals?
The further down the group the lower the MP and BP
Name 6 properties of transition metals?
Hard Durable Catalysts Coloured Sonorous Maluble High BP (except Mercury) Good conductor
Name a use for transition metals?
Glazes for the colour
Where are transition metals?
Middle of the periodic table
What group are halogens?
Group 7
Name 4 properties of halogens?
Toxic- kill bacteria
Non metal
Smell
Brittle
What’s special about halogens?
All exist as diatomic molecules
What colour is F?
Yellow/colourless
What colour is Cl?
Green
What colour is Br?
Orange or brown
What colour is I?
Grey or black
Which halogen is liquid?
Bromine
Explain the boiling point trend in halogens?
Further down have higher BP and MP
Explain the reactivity trend in halogens?
The further down the group the less reactive as it’s gaining an electron and the atoms are bigger so they are further from the nucleus with more shielding so the incoming electron is less easily gained so less react
