A

Green flame

Perioxide (BaO2)

27
Q

Group 2 reactivity

A

Less reactive with water than corresponding group 1

Beryllium does not react with stream

28
Q

Metal oxide + water

A

Metal hydroxide

Except beryllium oxide

29
Q

Sulfate solubilité

A

Decreases down the group

30
Q

Hydroxide solubility

A

More soluble down the group

Calcium carbonate much less soluble than calcium hydroxide

31
Q

Carbonate decomposition

A

All group 1 do it at skl

Thermal stability increases down the group

32
Q

Explanation of carbonate

A
  • greater charge density in cation
  • greater distortion on anion
  • draws oxygen towards it, weakens C-O bind
  • vibrational energy breaks bond
  • as cations get larger, polarising power decrease
  • group 1 less than group 2
33
Q

Nitrate decomposition

A

All do it
Group 1 except Li -> metal nitrite + oxygen
Li + group 2, more polarisaient -> metal oxide + nitrogen dioxide + oxygen

A

NO2-

35
Q

Flame colours

A

Calcium brick red
Strontium crimson
Barium green

36
Q

Halogens as oxidising agent

A

Chlorine is strongest
Iodine is weakest

Because chlorine takes up electrons the most easily

37

A

Burn vigorously in chlorine

React with others but less exothermic

38
Q

Chlorine + hydrogen

A

Explodes in the presence of sunlight

39

Cl2 + 2Fe2+ -> 2Cl- + 2Fe3+

Bromine can, idoine can’t

43
Q

Potassium halide + concentrated sulphuric acid

A

• hydrogen halide + other substance

44

HCl
KHSO4 - steamy white fumes

Chlorine not strong enough reducing agent to react further

45
Q

Describe concentrated sulfur if acid

A

Oxidising agent

46
Q

Bromide + conc H2SO4

A

Orange steamy fumes

Iodide + conc H2SO4

A

Sulfur dioxide, iodine, hydrogen sulfure

48
Q

Reducing agent

A

Chlorine is weakest
Iodine is stronger
Gives away its outer electron most easily

49
Q

Hydrogen halides

A

Soluble
Dissociate in water
Forms acidic solution

50
Q

Ammonia + hydrogen halide

A

Dense white smoke of ammonium halide is produced

51
Q

What happens when a bond forms?

A

One electron from each atom enters a cloud of lower energy

52
Q

Average bond enthalp

A

Calculated in the gaseous state

Innacfutaye because environment affects bond
