Q

why are group 1 metals more reactive descending the group?

A

Because the outer electron is further from the nucleus. therefor, there is weaker electrostatic force of attraction, less energy is needed to remove the outer electron.

Q

What way do group 7 non-metals have a higher mpt. and why is this?

A

Group 7 metals have a higher mpt. going down. This is because the atom (and molecules) increase in size. Therefore there are more IMFs so more energy is required to break them apart.

Q

What is the reaction of bromine with iron (only symbol equation)?
What are the states of matter and color of each substance?

How does it’s reactivity compare to chlorine

A

3Fe + 3Br2 => 2FeBr3
bromine is less reactive than chlorine

36
Q

What way do group 7 non-metals have a lower reactivity and why?

A

Group 7 non-metals reactivity decreases going down the periodic table.The lower you go in the group, the more occupied elements the atoms have, therefor, the nucleus gets farthre away from the electron it needs to attract and so it has a weaker electrostatic force.

37
Q

What is the definition of displacement in chemistry?

A

A more reactive element replaces a less reactive one from a compound.

38
Q

What is displacement of halogens? (In my own words)

40
Q

What do you call ions of group 7?

41
Q

What are group 2 metals called?

A

42
Q

What are alkaline earth metals?

43
Q

What way do group 2 metals decrease in mpt. ?

How does it compare to group 1

A

The mpt. decreases as it goes down the periodic table.This is because the electrostatic forces get weaker as you go down the row. But, the mpt. of any group 2 atom will be higher than any group 1 atom. This is due to higher magnitude of charge and more delocalized electrons.

44
Q

What way are group 2 metals more reactive?

and how does that compare to group 1

A

The reactivity increases going down, but less reactive than group 1 as they need to lose 2 electrons.
