Elements From The Sea Flashcards
Fluorine risks and benefits
Benefits- used to make plastics PTFE
Added to toothpaste to strengthen enamel
Used to make HFCs
Risks- highly reactive and handling must be kept to a minimum
Chlorine risks and benefits
Benefits- used in plastic industry (PVC)
Used in water treatment and to make pesticides, medicines and bleach.
Important intermediate in manufacture of HCl and chlorinated solvents
Risks- pesticides can accumulate in environment
CFCs destroy stratospheric ozone
Risks and benefits to bromine
Benefits - manufacture of flame retardants, agricultural figments and photography
Risks- organic bromine compounds can destroy ozone in stratosphere
Iodine benefits
Used in antiseptics, germicides and dyes
Iodine-131 is use to diagnose thyroid disease
Structure of ionic lattice (NaCl)
Na surrounded by 6 Cl
Simple cubic
Water in ionic lattice - water of crystallization
Crystals said to be hydrated
Ionic substances in solution
Hydrated ions are randomly arranged and behave independently
Each ion is surrounded by water molecules - known as hydration
-/+ have different shapes as H2O is bent
Spectator ions
Not involved in reaction and not in ionic equation
Rules to help tell if ionic precipitation reactions will take place when two solutions are mixed
- all nitrates are soluble in water
- all chloride are soluble in water except AgCl and PbCl2
- all sulfates are soluble except BaSO4, PbSO4 & SrSO4
- all sodium, potasium and ammonium salts are soluble
- all carbonates are insoluble except (NH4)2CO3 and those of the group 1 elements
First ionization enthrall definition
Energy needed to remove one electron from each of one mole of isolated gaseous atoms of an element.
One mole of gaseous ions with one positive charge is formed.
Oxidation state of F and O
O= -2 F = -1
Oxyanions what are they
Negative ions that contain Oxygen and another element. Names end in -ate ie chlorate
Displacement reaction
More reactive halogen is passed into a solution of less reactive halogen.
Group 7 elements
Halogens
Fluorine physical properties
At rt - pale yellow gas
Volatility- gas
Solubility in water- reacts with water
Solubility in organic solvents- soluble
Chlorine physical properties
At rt - green gas
Volatility - gas
Solubility in water - slightly soluble to give pale green solution
Solubility in organic solvents - soluble to give pale green solution
Bromine physical properties
At Rt - dark red liquid
Volatility - liquid quickly forms brown gas on warming
Solubility in water - slightly soluble to give red-brown solution
Solubility in organic solvent - soluble to give red solution
