Q

Why are group 1 metals more reactive as you go down the periodic table?

A

As you go down the group, the distance between the nucleus and the single electron increases, so there are weaker electrostatic forces so it is easier to lose that one electron

Q

Why do the melting points of group 1 metals decrease as you go down the group?

Q

What colour is iodine at room temperature?

A

Grey-black

22
Q

All halogens are ________ and are connected by ________ bonds

A

Diatomic, covalent

23
Q

Why are group 7 elements more reactive as you go up the periodic table?

A

The outer electron is getting closer to the nucleus so forces of attraction are higher, so it is easier to gain an electron

24
Q

As you go down group 7 reactivity _________

A

Decreases

25
Q

As you go down group 7 the melting and boiling points ________

A

Increase

26
Q

Why do the melting and boiling points increase as you go down group 7?

A

As you go down group 7 the molecules become larger so there are stronger intermolecular forces, that require more energy to break

27

A

Toxic

36
Q

What are elements in group 0 known as?

A

The Noble Gasses

37
Q

Describe the reactivity of group 0 elements

A

Highly unreactive

38
Q

What are group 0 elements so unreactive?

A

They have full valence shells of electrons

39
Q

What state are group 0 elements at room temperature?

A

Gasses

40
Q

In group 0 elements melting and boiling points ________ going down the group

A

Increase

41
Q

In group 0 elements, density ________ going down the group

A

Increases

42
Q

Why do density, melting and boiling points increase going down group 0?

A

The elements have larger atoms so stronger intermolecular forces that require more energy to break

43
Q

Name 4 chemical properties of noble gases

A
  • Odourless
  • Colourless
  • Non-flammable
  • Extreme unreactive
44
Q

What is another name for the noble gasses?

A

The Inert Gasses

45
Q

What does inert mean?

A

Extremely unreactive

46
Q

Write a balanced equation for when chlorine reacts with hydrogen to form hydrogen chloride

A

H2+Cl2 ——> 2HCl
