Groups Rates And Energy Changes Flashcards
What are group 0
Noble gases
Why are group 0 inert
They all have a full outer shell
What happens as you go down group 0
The b.p, m.p and density increase
What are the boiling points of group 0
Lower than room temp
What are some properties of noble gases
Colourless, very low b.p and m.p, Poor conductors of heat and electricity, all exists as single atoms because dont form bonds easily with other atoms
Uses of krypton
Photography lighting
Uses of argon
Added to the space above the wine in wine barrels
Uses of helium
Used in weather balloons and airships
Neon uses
Illuminated signs
What are group 1
Alkali metals
How many electrons do alkali metals have in their outer shell
1
What happens as you go down group 1
The reactivity increases
Why does the reactivity of group 1 increase as u go down it
As we move down the group, the outer electron is less attracted to the nucleus and easier to lose
Example of a reaction of an alkali metal with O2
4Li + O(2) — 2Li(2)O
Example of reaction of group 1 with chlorine
2Li + Cl(2) — 2LiCl
Example of reaction of group 1 metal with water
2Li + 2H(2)O — 2LiOH + H(2)
What are group 7
Halogens
What are halogens
Non metals
What happens as u go down group 7
Melting and boiling points increase
How many electrons do halogens have in their outer shell
7
What happens when group 7 react with other non metals
They form a covalent bond
What hapoens when group 7 react with metal atoms
Form an ionic compound
What happens to the group 7 atom when it reacts with a metal
The group 7 element gains one electron and forms a -1 ion
Definition for rate of reaction
The speed at which reactants are turned into products
How can you control rate of reaction
Altering the concentration of solutions and the size of the pieces of solid reactant
What is activation energy
The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur
