halides group 2 and redox Flashcards
ca+O
CaO
Ca+H2O
Ca(OH)2+h2
metal + acid
salt + hydrogen
why does ionisation energy decrease down group 2
atomic radius increases and more shielding so less attraction between nucleus and outer electrons
CaO+H2O
Ca(OH)2
solubility down group 2
increases
ph of solution down group 2
increases, more alkaline
group 2 agriculture
calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 is added to fields as lime by farmers to increase ph of acidic soils
boiling point down group 7
bp increases as there are more electrons,stronger London forces, more energy required to break intermolecular forces
fluorine
pale yellow gas
chlorine
pale green gas
bromine
red/brown liquid
iodine
shiny grey solid
astatine
black solid
solid sample has never been seen
halogen halide displacement reaction
add solution if each halogen to aqueous solution of other halides.
to tell them apart add non polar solvent like cyclohexane
