Q

What is the trend in reactivity in group 2 and why

Q

what is the use of magnesium hydroxide and how does it work

what is the use of magnesium and what is the equation

A

magnesium is used in the extraction of titanium from its ore

28
Q

what is the trend in group 7 boiling points down the group

A

boiling point increases as the van der waals in diatomic molecules get stronger as the elements get bigger due to increasing atomic radius

29
Q

what is the trend in group 7 volatility going down the group and why

A

the volatility decreases as boiling points increase due to van der waals getting stronger

30
Q

what is the trend in oxidising power going down group 7 and why

A

it decreases as they become less electronegative due to an increase in atomic radius meaning the joining electron will experience more shielding and less attraction to the nucleus

31
Q

what is the trend in reducing power of halides down the group

A

the reducing power increase down the group due to how easiliy electrons are lost because of shielding ang a large atomic radius resulting is less attraction between nucleus and electronsso they are held less tightly

Q

what is the test for halide ions

A
  1. dissolving the solution in nitric acid to remove carbonate ions

  3. CO2 turns limewater cloudy so bubble the gas through the test tube of limewater to get a result
58
Q

why is using chlorine in outdoor pools risky for the environment

A

it is risky because they can produce chlorinated hydrocarbons

59
Q

what is the equation when chlorine reacts with water

63
Q

what is the trend in electronegativity down group 7

A

electronegativity decreases down the group as larger atoms attract eletrons less due to the outer electrons being further from the nucleus and more shielded as they have more inner electrons so the tendency to attract an atom lowers
