Group 7 Flashcards
Why does the boiling point of Group 7 elements increase down the group?
” increased number of electrons in larger atoms, the van der waals forces between molecules increase so more energy is required to separate the molecules
“
Why does the atomic radius of the Group 7 elements increase down the group?
“the greater the atomic number the more electrons there are, these go into shells increasingly further from the nucleus
“
Why does the electronegativity of the Group 7 elements decrease down the group?
“There is an increasing number of shells so more shielding and less pull on the outer electrons and an increasing atomic radius so attraction of nucleus for outer electrons drops off as distance increases
“
What is the trend in oxidising power of Group 7 elements down the group?
It decreases
Why does the oxidising power of Group 7 elements decrease down the group?
“the increasing nuclear charge which should attract electrons more is offset by INCREASED SHIELDING and INCREASING ATOMIC RADIUS
“
Write a balanced chemical equation with state symbols for the reaction of Chlorine with Sodium Bromide
“Cl2(aq) + 2NaBr(aq) ——> Br2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq)
“
Write an balanced ionic equation for the reaction of Bromine with Iodide ions.
“Br2 + 2I¯ ——> I2 + 2Br¯
“
What observation would be made with bromine is reacted with sodium chloride?
“Solution goes from colourless to orange-red
“
What observation would be made with chlorine is reacted with sodium iodide?
No visible reaction.
What observation would be made when solid sodium chloride reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid.
Steamy Fumes
What a balanced equation for when solid sodium chloride reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid.
“NaCl + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HCl
“
Write down three observations that would be made when sodium bromide reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid.
steamy fumes, brown fumes, a colourless gas
Name the three gases produced that would be made when sodium bromide reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid.
Hydrogen Bromide, Bromine and Sulfur Dioxide.
Write two ionic equations that show the formation of the three gases formed when sodium bromide reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid.
H+ + Br- → HBr and H2SO4 + 2 H+ + 2 Br- → Br2 + SO2 + 2 H2O
Write down five observations that would be made when sodium iodide reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid.
White fumes, Orange fumes, Colourless gas, Yellow solid, Bad Egg Smell
