Q

Explain the trend of reactivity down group 2

A

Increased atomic radius and shielding effect so ionisation energies decrease. Therefore it’s easier to lose electrons.

Q

What is the trend in boiling point down group 7?

A

Increases

17
Q

Explain the trend in boiling point down group 7

A

More electrons,
Stronger induced dipole-dipole forces,
More energy to break intermolecular forces,
Boiling point increases.

18
Q

What is the trend in reactivity down group 7?

A

Reactivity decreases

19
Q

Explain the trend in reactivity down group 7

A 
Atomic radius increases,
More inner shells,
Shielding increases,
Nuclear attraction decreases,
Reactivity decreases.
20
Q

What do more reactive halogens do to less reactive halide ions?

A

Displace them

21
Q

What can displacement reactions be used to identify?

A

Which halide is present in solution.

22
Q

Which compound is used to test for halides?

A

Silver nitrate solution. AgNO3

23
Q

How can the results for a halide test be further tested?

A

Solubility in ammonia solution

24
Q

What is disproportionation?

A

A redox reaction in which the same element is both oxidised and reduced.

25
Q

Describe the test for carbonates

A

Carbonates react with acids to form carbon dioxide gas.
Add dilute nitric acid to testing solution. If bubbles observed could be a carbonate. To prove its CO(2), bubble gas through lime water, limewater turns cloudy (milky) .

26
Q

Describe the test for sulphates

A

the test for sulphates is to add Aqueous barium nitrate to the solution. If a white precipitate forms, there is a sulphate.

27
Q

In the halide tests, what happens to chloride with silver nitrate and then ammonia

A

chlorine
Silver nitrate - white precipitate
Ammonia - soluble in dilute ammonia

28
Q

In the halide tests, what happens to bromide with silver nitrate and then ammonia

A

Silver nitrate - cream precipitate

Ammonia - soluble in concentrated ammonia

29
Q

In the halide tests, what happens to iodide with silver nitrate and then ammonia

A

(AgNO3) Silver nitrate - yellow precipitate

Ammonia - insoluble in concentrated ammonia

30
Q

What is the correct order for these anion tests?

A

Carbonate test, sulphate test, halide test

C.S.H

31
Q

Why is this the correct order for anion tests carbonate, sulphate, halide?

A

Carbonates also form a white precipitate in the sulphate test but not vice versa.
Carbonates and sulphates form precipitates with silver nitrate.

CSH

32
Q

Describe the test for ammonium ions

A

Add aqueous NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to the solution,
Ammonia gas is produced,
Can be detected with moist indicator paper as it will turn blue.

33
Q

the test for halide ions table?

A
