Inorganic Chemistry- AS LEVEL Flashcards
what is the trend in the 1st ionisation energy in Period 3 elements.
Na-Ar.
-ionisation energy increases.
-nuclear charge increases: more protons
electrons attracted to
+ve nucleus
atomic radius decrease
as a result.
-shielding stays the same.
what is the trend in atomic radius for period 3 elements.
atomic radius increases.
what is the trend in melting points for period 3 elements - Na,Mg,Al
-increases
-the ionic charge
-sea of delocalised electrons icreases
… metallic bonds increase.
what is the trend in the atomic radius for group 2 metals?
increases as you go down the group
why does the atomic radius increase for group 2 elements>
no of energy levels increase.
what is the trend in the first ionisation energy for group 2 elements?
it decreases
why does the 1st IE decrease for group 2 elements?
outer electron is further away from the nucleus.
… greater amount of shielding
what is the trend in the melting point for group 2 elements?
it decreases
why does the melting point decreases for group 2?
sea of delocalised electrons are further away from nuclei.
charge density decreases
which group 2 element doesn’t fit with the melting point trend?
magnesium
TRUE or FALSE all group 2 elements become oxidised
TRUE
what is the trend in reactivity for group 2 elements with water?
it increases
what is the use of magnesium in the extraction of titanium from titanium chloride?
the magnesium displaces titanium chloride in order to produce titanium
what is the formation of the hydroxides?
(wen metals react with water)
X+2H2O–>Mg(OH)2 + H2
what is the trend in the solubility of the hydroxides in water?
solubility increases as you go down the group
TRUE or FALSE Mg(OH)2 is soluble in water
FALSE
what is Mg(OH)2 used for in medicine
neutralises excess stomach acid.
causes heartburn-indigestion-wind
what is the use of Ca(OH)2 in agriculture?
used to treat acidic soil
what other name is Ca(OH)2 referred to?
slaked lime
what is the trend in the solubility of the sulphates down the group
solubility decreases.
Mg- most soluble
Ba-least solublee
why is acidified BaCl2 solution used to test for sulphate ions?
remove carbonate ions as carbon dioxide
