Q

When and why was Dmitri Mendeleev relevant?

A
  • arranged known elements in horizontal rows (periods) and vertical columns (groups) according to atomic weight
  • left gaps for undiscovered elements and predicted properties of them with accuracy
  • 1869

Q

What happened between Mendeleev and Baron de Chancourtois?

A
  • BdC sent a manuscript to M 1 year before M’s discovery of the periodic table
  • contained writing and drawing of a periodic table
  • M sent to publishers without the drawing then 1 year later ‘came up’ with the periodic table

Q

Why do the halogens’ boiling points increase as you move down the group?

A
  • atoms get bigger (more shells)
  • more electrons in cloud
  • stronger London forces
  • more energy needed to overcome

Q

Describe the uses of chlorine

A

Kills bacteria in pools and drinking water, makes bleach and plastics

17
Q

Describe the uses of bromine

A

Used in photographic film

18
Q

Describe the uses of iodine

A

Antiseptic, essential part of diet for thyroid

19
Q

What are the trends as you move down the group of halogens?

A
  • less reactive
  • darker in colour
  • less electronegative
  • less oxidising
  • higher melting and boiling points
20
Q

Which of the halogens doesn’t exist as a liquid?

A

Iodine, it goes through sublimation (solid straight to gas)

22
Q

What would the products be in a displacement reaction between chlorine and potassium iodide?

A

Potassium chloride and iodine

23
Q

What chemical is used to distinguish between iodine and bromine

A

Cyclohexane

24
Q

How are halide ions identified?

A

Using aqueous silver ions:
add nitric acid and silver nitrate which forms acidified silver nitrate

25
Q

When aqueous silver ions are added to halide ions, what colour to they go depending on which halogen they derive from?

A
  • chlorine = white
  • bromine = cream
  • iodine = yellow
26
Q

After adding aqueous silver ions, if the colours are hard to distinguish between, how can this be solved?

A
  • add ammonia

-dilute ammonia turns the white of Cl colourless
- concentrated turns the cream of Br colourless
- the yellow of I cannot be turned colourless

27
Q

What is brine?

A

Very concentrated NaCl solution (very salty water)

28
Q

How is bleach manufactured?

A

Chlorine is reacted with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium chloride, sodium chlorite (bleach) and water

29
Q

What happens to chlorine during the reaction of forming bleach?

A

It is both oxidised and reduced meaning it is a disproportionation reaction

30
Q

How is group 2 on the periodic table similar to group 1?

A
  • metals from both groups make alkaline solutions and hydrogen gas when added to water
  • both groups get more reactive as you move down
31
Q

Where are alkaline earth metals found?

A

In large quantities in rocks

32
Q

What rock is magnesium found in?

A

Dolomite

33
Q

What rock is calcium found in?

A

Limestone

34
Q

What rock is strontium found in?

A

Strontianite
