Q

Why does the reactivity increase as you move down group 1?

A

outer electron more easily lost
attraction between the nucleus and the electron decreases because the electron id further away from the nucleus due to there being more shells

Q

Why is it so easy for alkali metals to form ions?

A

They only need to lose one electron to get a full outer shell and that does not take much energy

Q

How are the particles in solids arranged?

A

strong forces of attraction between particles- holds them close together in a regular lattice arrangement
particles vibrate around a fixed point
keep a definite shape and volume
expand slightly when heated - the particles vibrate more

Q

How are the particles in liquids arranged?

A

Weak forces of attraction between particles
randomly arranged and free to move past each other- tend to stick closely together.
definite volume
no definite shape- flow to fill the bottom of a container
particles constantly move in a random motion
expand slightly when heated - the particles move around more

Q

How are the particles in gases arranged?

A

very weak forces of attraction between particles
free to move and are apart - particle in gases travel in straight lines
no definite shape or volume - fills the container
particles move constantly in a random motion
particles move faster when heated - gas either expands or has an increase in pressure

Q

What are the drawbacks of particle theory?

A

particles aren’t solid, inelastic or spheres - they are atoms ions or molecules
model doesn’t show forces between the particle - no way of knowing how strong they are

32
The boiling point is where...
a liquid changes to a gas
33
the melting point is where...
the solid changes to a liquid
34
What are the 3 types of bonding?
Covalent Ionic Metallic
35
Covalent bonding is where...
atoms share electrons so they have full outer shells
36
Each single covalent bond provides...
one electron for each atom
37
Covalent bonding happens in both...
compound (H20) and elements (Cl2)
38
What three ways can you draw covalent bonds?
Dot and cross diagrams structural formulae (displayed formula) Three dimensional structures
39
Does ionic bonding happen between metals or non metals?
metal - non-metal
40
What happens in ionic bonding?
transfer of electrons metal atom loses electrons to form positively charged ion non metal gains these electrons to form a negative ion They are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic forces, this is an ionic bond
41
What is the name of the forces holding ionic compounds together?
electrostatic forces
42
What is metallic bonding?
where a sea of delocalised electrons hold together positive ions
43
Is metallic bonding strong?
It is very strong
44
What are some key properties of metals?
solid at room temperature conduct electricity and heat most are malleable
45
What are alloys?
Metals that are mixed with other metals (or sometime non-metals) to make them stronger, better suited for a job the different sized atoms distort the layers and make it difficult for the atoms to slide over each other- making the metal harder
46
Physical properties of metals:
strong(hard to break) malleable great conductors of heat and electricity high mpts and bpts lustrous (shiny) sonorous (ringing sound when hit)
47
Physical properties of non metals
dull looking more brittle low mpts and bpts generally often lower densities mostly don't conduct
48
Why can non metals have a range of different chemical properties?
They can form a variety of different structures
49
What are elements made up of?
atoms with the same atomic number
50
What subatomic particle determines the type of atom?
proton
51
What are isotopes?
different forms of the same element same number of protons different number of neutrons
52
What is a molecule?
two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds (can have different atoms)
53
What is a compound?
two or more different elements held together by chemical bonds
54
What is a mixture?
two or more substances that are not chemically combined
55
What are 3 conclusions drawn from the alpha scattering experiments?
1. Most of the atom was empty space. 2.There is a concentrated area of positive charge in the atom. 3.Atoms contain a very small, heavy mass.
56
Who discovered the electron?
J. J Thompson
57
Who discovered the proton?
Ernest Rutherford
58
Who discovered the neutron?

Ernest Rutherford Hans Geiger Ernest Marsden
67
What was different about Niels Bohr's nuclear model?
He had the electrons on shells orbiting the nucleus at fixed distances from it. if there was a cloud of electrons they would all be attracted to the nucleus and the atom would collapse
68
What is the structure of a ionic compound like?
a giant ionic lattice closely packed regular lattice arrangement

71
Atoms are stable when they...
have full outer shells
72

1
76

0 (negligible)
78
Electron relative charge?
-1
79
What is the overall charge of an atom?
no overall charge
80
Group 0 elements are also known as...
noble gases
81
Properties of the noble gases?
Exist as monatomic gases-single atoms not bonded to each other practically inert (unreactive) non-flammable colourless at room temp
82
As you move down the noble gases they:
increasing atomic mass increasing boiling point - caused by greater intermolecular forces which need to be overcome.
83
What used to be the two clear ways to categorize elements?
Their physical and chemical properties their atomic weight
84
How were elements originally organised?
by their atomic weight they didn't take into account the properties
85
When did Dmitri Mendeleev publish his periodic table?
1869
86
What was different about Mendeleev's periodic table?
He left gaps for unknown elements showed elements with the same chemical properties lined up in groups
87
Group 7 elements are also called ...
Halogens
88
As you move down the halogens they:
become less reactive have higher melting and boiling points have higher relative atomic masses
89

potassium sodium lithium calcium Magnesium carnon zinc iron tin hydrogen copper
90
What is an example of a group 1 element reacting with chlorine?

91
What is a macromolecule?
A giant covalent structures bonds arranged in giant lattices or networks
