Q

What did Dobereiner research?

A

He put the list of the known elements into groups based on their chemical properties. He put these into groups of THREE, which are called ‘TRIADS’.

The MIDDLE ELEMENT of each triad had a RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS that was the AVERAGE of the other two.

Q

What did Newlands research?

A

He noticed that when you arranged the elements in order of relative atomic mass, every EIGHTH ELEMENT had similar properties and so he grouped them into OCTAVES.

Q

What is one reason as to why Dobereiner’s triads were rejected?

A

Most elements did not fit their ‘patterns’.

Q

What are 3 reasons as to why Newland’s Law of Octaves were criticised by the Chemical Society in 1985?

A
  1. His groups contained elements that didn’t have similar properties, e.g. carbon and titanium.
  2. He mixed up metals and nonmetals. e.g. oxygen & iron.
  3. He didn’t leave any gaps for elements that hadn’t been discovered yet.

Q

What did Mendeleev research?

A

He realised that arranging the elements in order had
some elements in groups with elements with very
different properties. He left gaps for future elements and this also allowed him to predict the properties of these undiscovered elements.

He ordered the table by atomic (proton) number instead of RFM.

Q

Why was Mendeleev’s idea of the Periodic Table accepted and approved?

A

Mendeleev in the end was correct because the newly discovered elements fitted into the gaps he left.

Q

When you cut alkali metals what happens to them?

A

They are shiny when freshly cut but tarnish rapidly in moist are due to the reaction with oxygen.

Q
As you go DOWN Group 1, the akalis:
become \_\_\_\_\_\_ REACTIVE
have a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ DENSITY
have a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ MELTING POINT
have a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ BOILING POINT
A
As you go DOWN Group 1, the alkalis become:
MORE REACTIVE
have a HIGHER DENSITY
have a LOWER MELTING POINT
have a LOWER BOILING POINT
17
Q

When lithium, sodium or potassium are put in water, what happens?

A

They react very VIGOROUSLY (they move around the surface, fizzing furiously).

18
Q

What two products do Group 1 metals form when reacted with water?

A

HYDROGEN and a METAL HYDROXIDE (an alkali and turns pH blue)

19
Q

What is the word equation for the reaction of a metal with water?

A

metal + water –> metal hydroxide + hydrogen

20
Q

If M represents a metal, what is the symbol equation for the reaction of a metal with water?

A

2M (s) + 2H2O (l) –> 2MOH (aq) + H2 (g)

21
Q

When alkali metals react with chlorine, what happens?

A

They react VIGOROUSLY with chlorine.

22
Q

What does the reaction of an alkali metal with chlorine produce?

A

COLOURLESS crystalline salts, e.g. LiCl (lithium chloride), NaCl (sodium chloride), KCl (potassium chloride)

23
Q

If M represents a metal, what is the symbol equation for the reaction of a metal with chlorine?

A

2M (s) + Cl2 (g) –> 2MCl (s)

24
Q

What are the 6 main hazard symbols?

A
  1. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
  2. TOXIC
  3. CORROSIVE
  4. HARMFUL
  5. EXPLOSIVE
  6. OXIDISING
25
Q

How can you test for hydrogen?

A

A lighted splint which produces a ‘squeaky pop’ as it ignites.

26
Q

Why are Group 1 metals dangerous?

A

They are flammable and their hydroxides are harmful and corrosive.

27
Q

When handling Group 1 metals, what necessary precautions should be carried out?

A

They should be kept away from water and naked flames.

28
Q

What are the Group 7 elements known as?

A

The HALOGENS

29
Q

What are the 5 elements in Group 7?

A

Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br) , Iodine (I) , Astatine (At)

30
Q

What are the states and colours of the 5 elements in Group 7 at room temperature and pressure?

A

Fluorine - very reactive, poisonous YELLOW GAS
Chlorine - fairly reactive, poisonous DENSE GREEN GAS
Bromine - Dense, poisonous, ORANGE VOLATILE LIQUID and forms an ORANGE GAS
Iodine - DARK GREY crystalline SOLID or a PURPLE VAPOUR

31
Q

In terms of their atomic / molecular structure, what are the Group 7 elements known as?

A

DIATOMIC MOLECULES (pairs of atoms, e.g. Br2)

32
Q

As you go down Group 7, the halogens:
become ______ REACTIVE
have a _________ MELTING POINT
have a __________ BOILING POINT

A

As you go down Group 7, the halogens:
become LESS REACTIVE
have a HIGHER MELTING POINT
have a HIGHER BOILING POINT

33
Q

How can the trend in reactivity of the halogens be shown?

A

By their DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS and their reactions with alkali and iron

34
Q

If M represents a halogen, what is the symbol

A
