Q

Why do the element get less reactive as we move down group 7?

A

Because there are more electrons rings, which are therefore further away from the nucleus. As a result there is a weaker attraction towards the nucleus and therefore harder to gain an electron- less reactive.

Because they all have the same number of electrons in their outer shell and therefore give away or gain the same amount of electrons when they react with another element

74
Q

75
Q

Why are noble gases extremely unreactive?

A

Because they all have a full outer shell of electrons and therefore have no need to gain or lose any electrons by reacting with another element

76
Q

Describe the reaction of lithium with water

A

Lithium doesn’t melt but fizzes on the surface of the water and produces an alkaline solution

77
Q

Describe the reaction of sodium in water

A

Sodium melts into a small ball on the surface of the water giving of hydrogen, producing an alkaline solution. Sodium catches fire with an orange flame on filter paper on top of the water.

78
Q

Describe the reaction of potassium with water

A

Potassium melts giving off hydrogen which catches fire with a LILAC flame producing an alkaline solution.

79
Q

How does the melting/boiling point of the group 1 metals change as you go down?

A

It decreases, i.e. Lithium is highest

80
Q

How does the density of group 1 metals change as you go down the group?

A

It increases, i.e. lithium is least dense

Think about how lithium sodium and potassium are all less dense than water and float on it

81
Q

How should you store group 1 metals and why?

A

Lithium, sodium and potassium should all be stored on oil because they all react quickly with air to form oxides and violently with water.

Rubidium and caesium are so reactivw that they have to be stored in a sealed glass container to stop any possibility of oxygen getting to them.

82
Q

What colour are group 1 metal ions?

And so what colour are their compounds?

A

colourless

colourless or white unless they are paired with a coloured negative ion

83
Q

How does the reactivity change as you go further down the group 1?

A

The elements become more reactive as you go further down the group

84
Q

In conclusion group 1 elements:

(8)

A
  • are metals
  • are soft with melting points and densities that are very low for metals
  • have to be stored out of contact with air and water
  • react rapidly with air to form coatings of the metal oxide
  • react with water to produce an alkaline solution of the metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas
  • increase in reactivity as you go down the group
  • form compounds in which the metal has a 1+ ion
  • have mainly white compounds which dissolve to produce colourless solutions
85
Q

What are the alkali metals?

A

Group 1 metals

86
Q

Why do elements in group 1 get more reactive as you move further down the group?

A

Because the outer electron is further from the nucleus which means the attraction between the nucleus and electrons is less and so the electron is more easily lost.

87
Q

What is the colour and state of chlorine at room temperature?

A

Green gas

88
Q

What is the colour and state of bromine at room temperature?

A

Brown liquid

89
Q

What is the colour and state of iodine at room temperature?

A

Grey solid

90
Q

Predict the properties of other halogens in this group

A

Black/grey solid 7 outer shell electrons Less reactive than other halogens

91
Q

How does the reactivity change in group 7?

A

Elements become less reactive as you go further down the group

92
Q

Why do elements in group 7 become less reactive as you go further down the group?

A

Because it’s harder to gain an extra electron because the outer shell is further from the nucleus and so there is less attraction.

93
Q

How are the halogens dangerous?

A

Fluorine is extremely reactive.

They all have very poisonous vapours and so should be handled in a fume cupboard.

Liquid bromine is corrosive

94
Q

Describe an experiment to show that a more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive halogen and form a solution of one of its salts.

A

Sodium bromide + chlorine = sodium chloride + bromine

Sodium iodide + chlorine = sodium chloride + iodine

95
Q

Make this equation into an ionic equation 2Na+ + 2Br- + Cl2 = 2Na+ + 2Cl- + Br2

A

2Br- + Cl2 = 2Cl- + Br2

96
Q

What are these displacement reactions known as?

A

Redox reactions

97
Q

In the reaction with sodium bromide and chlorine which element has been oxidised and which one has been reduced?

A

Bromide has been OXIDISED Chlorine has been REDUCED

98
Q

What is the atomic number?

A

The number of protons in the atoms of the element.

99
Q

Physical noble gas properties

A

The noble gases are all colourless, monatomic gases; this means their molecules consist of single atoms.

100
Q

Differences between metals and non-metals

A

Metals conduct electricity and heat Are shiny when polished and malleable Usually solids with high melting points Oxides which are alkaline Poor conductors of heat, don’t usually conduct electricity Have oxides which are acidic or neutral Usually brittle as solids Tend to have low melting and boiling points

101
Q

What happens to the melting point of group 1 metals as you go down the group?

A

Gets lower

102
Q

Why are group 1 metals stored in oil?

A

Because they react with water vapour and oxygen in the air.

103
Q

What does it mean if there are bubbles in a beaker of oil containing a group 1 metal?

A

There must have been a tiny bit of water in the oil.

104
Q

What is the periodic table arranged in the order of?

A

The atomic (proton) numbers of the elements.

105
Q

What colour are the compounds of group 1 elements usually?

A

White or colourless

106
Q

Fluorine at room temp

A

Yellow gas

107
Q

why must you be careful with halogens?

108
Q

A

Ugh ok fine

109
Q

In conclusion group 7 elements:

(7)

A
  • Have diatomic molecules, X2
  • Go from gases to liquid to solid as you move down the group
  • Have coloured, poisonous vapours
  • Form ionic salts with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals
  • become less reactive as you go down the group
  • are oxidising agents with oxidising ability decreasing down the group
  • will displace elements lower down the group from their salts
110
Q

Generally, what are the properties of the transition metals?

A

All typically metallic elements

good conductors of heat and electricity

Workable, strong and mostly with high densities

With the exception of liquid mercury they all have fairly high to very high melting points

111
Q

are transition metals more or less reactive than group 1 metals?

A

much less reactive and so they don’t react as rapidly with air or water

112
Q

What are the physical properties of the compounds of transition elements?

A

They usually form coloured compounds

113
Q

Transition metals are often useful catalysts, name 3 useful transition metals and their compounds that are useful catalysts:

A
  • iron in the manufacture of ammonia
  • vanadium (V) oxide, V2O5, in the manufacture of sulfuric acid
