70
Q

definition of metallic bonding

A

strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised eletrons

71
Q

describe the reactivity of group 1 metals with water

A

lithium: fizzes, moves about, produces gas
sodium: turns into a sphere, releases heat, fizzes and moves more than lithium - more reactive than lithium
potassium: burns with a lilac flame, reacts quicker than sodium - more reactive with sodium
rubidium: explodes as soon as it touches the water - more reactive than potassium
caesium: breaks the tub of water due to the explosion - more reactive than rubidium

72
Q

how do the reactions of group 1 metals and air change?

A

as you go down the periods, the metal turns dull quicker (reacts faster)

73
Q

why does the reactivity of group 1 metals increase as you go down the periods?

A

the lower the period, the more electron shells it has, so the last electron is further away from the nucleus - so the attraction is weaker and the electron is more easily lost

74
Q

definition of redox reaction

A

a reaction where reduction and oxidation occurs

75
Q

definition of reducing agent

A

gets oxidised - they give the electrons to the substance being reduced

76
Q

dont need to be extracted - maybe purified

Q

how do you extract something less reactive than carbon?

A

displacement using carbon

79
Q

how do you extract something more reactive than carbon?

A

iron –> iron (III) oxide —> hydrated iron (III) oxide

87
Q

how do barrier methods prevent rust

A

stops oxygen and water from reaching the iron
has to be replaced

88
Q

how do sacrificial methods prevent rust

A

add a more reactive metal to the iron - that metal will react instead
has to be replaced + expensive

89
Q

galvanising method for preventing rust

A

zinc coating -> is a barrier and will react before iron
