Chemistry Of The Elements (The Periodic Table. Reactivity Series, Tests) Flashcards
Metal oxides are __________
Whereas non-metal oxides are __________
Basic
Acidic
Why do elements in the same group have similar chemical properties
Because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
Group 1 metal + water —>
Metal + Water –> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
Group 1 elements become more reactive as you go _______ the group
Down
Why do group 1 elements become more reactive as you go down the group
Because the outermost electrons is in an shell which is further from a nucleus so the attraction between the outermost electron and the nucleus becomes less. So the bigger the group 1 atom, the weaker the attraction and the more easily the electron is lost. (So it wants to to react quicker and is more reactive)
Is metal hydroxide acidic or alkaline
Alkaline
As you go down group 7, the _________ the colour and the __________ the boiling point
Darker
Boiling
Colours of:
Chlorine
Bromine
Iodine
Chlorine - Green
Bromine -Red-brown
Iodine -Dark grey
Physical state at room temperature of:
Chlorine

Chlorine - Gas
Bromine - Liquid
Iodine - Solid
What is dissociation
When hydrogen splits up in water into H+ ions and cl- ions
Hydrogen chloride doesn’t dissociate in _____________
Methylbenzene
When hydrogen chloride dissociates in water, the H+ ions mean that the water is _________
Acidic
Chlorine water is colourless. What colour is bromine water
Orange
What colour is iodine water
Brown
Group 7 metals get _______ reactive as you go up the group
More
How to do a displacement reaction
Add potassium halide solution to halide water
See if the halide from the water displaces the halide from the potassium
Halogen displacement reactions are _______ reactions
Redox
What is a redox reaction
A reaction where oxidation and reduction occur
Acid + Metal –>
Acid + Metal –> Salt + Hydrogen
You can use the reactions of different metals with dilute acids to work out how _________ they are. The more reactive the metal, the faster the reaction, the _______ reactive the metal
Reactive
More
Acid + Metal –> Salt + Hydrogen
The speed of the reaction indicated by the rate at which the bubbles of __________ are given off. The ___________ is confirmed by the burning splint test
Hydrogen
Hydrogen
Magnesium gives a _____ squeaky pop whereas iron gives a ________ squeaky pop
Big
Small
Metal + Water –>
Metal + Water –> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
Metal + Water –> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
_______ reactive metals react vigorously with water
More/very
Metal + Water –> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
_______ reactive metals won’t react vigorously with water but they will react with _______
Less
Steam
What is a reducing agent
A substance that brings about reduction by being oxidized and losing electrons.
What is an oxidising agent
A substance that brings about oxidation by being reduced and gaining electrons.
Rust equation:
Iron + Oxygen + Water –> Hydrated iron(|||) oxide (rust)
