51
Q

what happens to the number of electron shells down the group

A

increase in the number of shells

52
Q

state the charge of all elements in group 1 when they become ions

A

+1

53
Q

state the charge of all the elements in group 7 when they become ions

A

-1

54
Q

explain why group 1 gets more reactive down the group

A

atoms get bigger down the group
electrons are further away from the nucleus
lose an electron more easily

55
Q

explain why group 7 gets less reactive down the group

A

more shielding down the group
atoms get bigger down the group
electron further away from the nucleus
electron is gained less easily

56
Q

state the observation of sodium with water

A

fizzes
melts
floats
moves around the surface
disappears

57
Q

describe the structure of a giant ionic lattice

A

strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions acting in all directions

58
Q

state the general melting/boiling points of ionic substances

A

high melting and boiling points

59
Q

why do ionic substances have high melting points

A

large amounts of energy needed to break the many strong bonds

60
Q

when can ionic compounds conduct electricity

A

when they are molten or dissolved
because the ions will be free to move

61
Q

state the type of bonding between non metals

A

covalent

62
Q

describe covalent bonding in terms of electrons

A

sharing of electrons

63
Q

do small covalent substances have high or low boiling points

A

low boiling points

64
Q

why do small molecules have low melting points

A

the weak intermolecular forces are easily overcome by a small amount of energy

65
Q

state the trend in intermolecular forces as molecules get bigger

A

as the molecule gets bigger, the intermolecular forces get stronger

66
Q

do small covalent molecules conduct electricity

A

no

Q

state the type of bonding in metals

A

a mixture containing at least one metal

73
Q

describe why alloys are harder than pure metals
