Chemistry Flashcards
Ions
Atoms that have lost electrons or gained electrons
Loss of electrons
Positive ion
Gain of electrons
Negative ion
Metallic bonding
is the force of attraction between these free-moving (delocalised) electrons and positive metal ions
Metallic bonding electrical conductivity
The delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the lattice, this means they can carry an electric current (good electrical conductors)
Metallic bonding thermal conductivity
The delocalised electrons can move and vibrate and so transfer thermal energy from one to another through the metal (good conductors of heat)
Metallic bonding malleability
Metals are malleable (they can be hammered into shape)
Metallic bonding ductility
Metals are ductile (they can be drawn into wires)
Electrostatic attraction metallic bonding
-greater electrostatic attraction between the positive ions and delocalised electrons
-more energy is needed to overcome these forces
Group 1 melting point
Low
Group 1 density
Low
Group 1 hardness and strength
Soft and weak
Group 1 reactivity with oxygen
High to ver high
Group 1 reactivity with chlorine
React vigorously to produce solid metal chlorides
Group 1 reactivity with water
Vigorous to very vigorous
Group 1 metals
-Highly reactive
-1 single electron in the outer shell
-reactivity increases as you go down the group
Corrosion
The process where metals react with substances in the air to form oxides, carbonates, hydroxides or other compounds
Transition metals melting point
High
Transition metals density
High
Transition metals hardness and strength
Hard and strong
Transition metals reactivity with oxygen
Slow to very slow
Transition metals reactivity with chlorine
Less reactive, iron wool heated strongly will react with chlorine to produce iron (II) chloride
Transition metals reactivity with water
Relatively unreactive
When group 1 metals react with water they form
Hydrogen gas and metal hydroxide
When group 1 metals react with oxygen to form
Solid white oxides
an acid
a proton H+ ions donor. contains H+ ions
an alkali
a water soluble base. contains OH- ions
a base
a proton H+ ions acceptor
physical properties of acid
- they are irritant
- react with bases in a neutralisation reaction
- react with metals to form hydrogen gas
- pH less than 7
neutralisation reaction
acid + base -> water + salt
collision theory 3 statements
- molecules must collide in order to react
- molecules must have enough energy when they collide
- molecules must be in the correct spatial orientation when they collide
proton
- found in nucleus
- +1 charge
- mass of 1
neutron
- found in nucleus
- no charge
- mass of 1
electron
- found in orbitals
- -1 charge
- mass of 1/2000th
collision theory temp
as temp increases, kinetic energy of the molecules increases. they move faster according them to collide more
increasing the temp
increases the probability of collision
increases the proportion of molecules with enough energy to react
collision theory catalysts
provide an alternative reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy. more molecules will have enough energy to react
chromotography
the separation of the components of a mixture in a liquid or gas carrying it through a structure holding the stationary phase
adsorption
when a substance binds to or attaches to another
adsorbent
often used to describe the stationary phase in chromatography because substances become adsorbed to it during separation
affinity
attraction towards two phases
stationary phase
is fixed
mobile phase
is able to move
