Q

describe trends in the physical properties of the Group 1 elements.

A

The alkali metals:

1 - are soft (they can be cut with a knife)

2 - going down group 1, the melting point decreases.

3 - Generally low densities. The first three (lithium, sodium and potassium float on water.

Q

describe trends in the physical properties of the Group 7

Q

use knowledge of electronic structures to explain in detail the trend in reactivity of the Group 1 elements.

A

A change like this, where an electron is lost, is an example of oxidation.

The ions formed have a stable electronic structure, like a noble gas from Group 0.

The reactivity of Group 1 elements increases as you go down the group because:

the atoms get larger as you go down the group
the outer electron gets further from the nucleus as you go down the group
the attraction between the nucleus and outer electron gets weaker as you go down the group - so the electron is more easily lost

23
Q

the physical properties of a noble gas element

A

The noble gases all have low boiling points.

They are extremely unreactive and colourless.

This is because they have a full outer shell.

They cannot form bonds and therefore always exist as single atoms (monatomic).

33
Q

Describe group 1 element reactions with moist air

A

Group 1 elements are stored in oil to stop contact with air and water vapour.
Moist air reacts with alkaline metals to form the metal oxide. This tarnishes the surface of the metal.

34
Q

What would you observe when lithium reacts with water?

A

Fizzes steadily, and slowly becomes smaller until it has all reacted

35
Q

Describe what you would observe when sodium reacts with water.

A

Melts to form a ball, fizzes rapidly, and quickly becomes smaller until it disappears

36
Q

What would you observe when potassium reacts with water?

A

Quickly melts to form a ball, burns violently with sparks and a lilac flame, and reacts rapidly, often with a small explosion

37
Q

Predict what is seen when rubidium is added to water.

A

Rubidium should melt very quickly. It should burn very violently, and react almost instantly with an explosion.

38
Q

What are the physical properties of group 7 elements?

A

The group 7 elements exist as diatomic molecules. Their chemical formulae are F2, Cl2, Br2 and I2.

Group 7 elements have low boiling points.

39
Q

What is the standard state of chlorine?

A

Cl2 = Yellow-green Gas

40
Q

What is the standard state of bromine?

A

Br2 = Deep-red Liquid

41
Q

What is the standard state of iodine?

A

I2 = Grey Solid that easily sublimes into a Purple gas

42
Q

What is a hazard of chlorine gas in the lab?

A

Toxic if inhaled. Make sure the lab is well ventilated and avoid inhaling.

43
Q

What is a hazard of bromine in the lab?

A

Bromine vapour is toxic. Solution irritates the skin. Make sure the lab is well ventilated and avoid inhaling the vapour. Wear gloves

44
Q

What is a hazard of iodine in a lab?

A

Iodine is harmful to the skin. Wear gloves. Avoid contact with clothing.

45
Q

What do you observe when potassium chloride with chlorine

A

No change

46
Q

What do you observe when potassium bromide reacts with chlorine

A

Solution darkens as bromine is produced

47
Q

What do you observe when potassium iodide is reacted with bromine?

A

Solution darkens as iodine is produced

48
Q

Describe what you would observe when potassium bromide reacts with iodine.

A

No change

49
Q

Describe the reactivity of group 1 elements

A

The Group 1 elements have similar properties because of the electronic structure of their atoms - they all have one electron in their outer shell.

In a reaction, an atom of a Group 1 element will form an ion with a single positive charge.

49
Q

Describe the trend in reactivity of group 1 elements.

A

The reactivity of Group 1 elements increases as you go down the group because:

the atoms get larger as you go down the group
the outer electron gets further from the nucleus as you go down the group
the attraction between the nucleus and outer electron gets weaker as you go down the group - so the electron is more easily lost
