Chemistry 4 - Classifying material Flashcards
Shielding is what
Attraction from the nucleus of the electron is decreased when there are loads of “INNER ELECTRONS” in the way
meaning the further out the electron is the less attraction due to increased shielding
Isotopes are what
Different forms of the same element with several more/less neutrons which changes the mass number
Relative atomic mass shows what
How much of each isotope there is compared to the total amount of the element in the world
RAM =
sum of the relative abundances
Ionic compounds always have what
Giant ionic lattices
Ionic Compounds all have what properties (2)
High melting/boiling point
Which groups on the periodic table most likely form positive ions
negative ions?
groups 1 /2
Groups 16/17
The charge formed (+1 , -2) is the same as what
The group they are found in
Group 1 metals are known as what
Alkali metals
When alkali metals are cut, what does it look like?
However over time what happens?
Shiny
Reacts with oxygen which tarnishes it
The lower down in the alkali sequence, what happens to the boiling/melting point and the density
lower melting/boiling point
Higher density
When alkali metal is placed in water, what two things forms?
metal hydroxide (sodium hydroxide)
and hydrogen
How do you know if hydrogen is present from the alkali metal reaction with water
lighted splint creates squeeky pop
Alkali metals always form what type of bond
Ionic bond
What sort of compound is created iwth alkali metals in terms of colour
what can it dissolve in to form?
White compound
dissolves in water to produce colourless solution
Group 17 are known as what
Halogens
Going down group 17, what happens to the boiling point and melting point?
increase
What happens to the reactivity of group 17 elements going down it
decreaes reactivity
Harder to gain an outer electron as its further away from the nucleus
therefore chlorine is most reactive
