Group Properties of Elements Flashcards
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of GROUP 1A – ALKALI METALS:
✓ univalent ✓ +1 Oxidation State ✓ large atoms ✓ most reactive (activity , alkalinity with atomic #) ✓ degree of solution with atomic # ✓ form hydroxides that are strongly basic (alkaline), except LiOH ✓ never found free state in nature
GROUP 1A – ALKALI METALS
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
✓ metal oxides are basic, whereas nonmetal
oxides are acidic
✓salts of alkali metals are water-soluble, except
LiF, Li2CO3, and Li3PO4
• “inflammable air” or “flammable air” • discovered by Cavendish • lightest element • has no therapeutic use • PRODUCTION METHOD: Messerschmidt process (can obtain 99% purity hydrogen)
HYDROGEN (H)
(can
obtain 99% purity hydrogen)
Messerschmidt process
INDUSTRIAL USES of Hydrogen:
– Haber Process – process for production of NH4+
– Hydrogenation of oils – to produce margarine
– Inflating balloons (non-therapeutic effect)
What are the three isotopes of Hydrogen?
Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium
What is the most abundant element in the Universe?
Hydrogen
An important compound of Hydrogen
H2O or Water
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2)
AKA: Agua oxigenada; agua oxenada; oxygenated water;
oxygenated acids
Common Use of Hydrogen Peroxide:
- antiseptic
- treatment for Vincent’s stomatitis (severe form of gingivitis)
- as mouthwash
WATER
- universal solvent
- omnipresent
- ligand; acid or base; oxidizing or reducing agent
TYPES OF WATER:
TYPES OF WATER:
• Water of Crystallization – water associated when crystals precipitate from aqueous solution
• Water of Hydration – water associated with cations and/ or anions of a salt or crystals
• Zeolitic Water – physically held water
• Lattice Water – water coordinated in cationic complex or held in definite lattice structure of the crystals
Cosmetic Use of Hydrogen Peroxide:
bleaching hair

NATURAL or MINERAL WATERS
contains dissolved materials such as suspended particles, dissolved atmospheric gases and metabolic decomposition products
- Alkaline Water – Na2SO4 and MgSO4 with NaHCO3
- Carbonated Water – has been charged with CO2 under pressure 3. Chalybeate Water – contains Fe in solution or suspension, characterized by ferrigenous taste
- Lithia Water – occurs in a form of carbonate or chloride
- Saline Water - “purgative waters”, contain large amounts of MgSO4and Na2SO4 with NaCl
- Sulfur Water – contain H2S and deposits S upon exposure to atmosphere
- Siliceous Water – contain very small amounts of soluble alkali silicates
