1
Q

what is the trend in the 1st ionisation energy in Period 3 elements.
Na-Ar.

A

-ionisation energy increases.
-nuclear charge increases: more protons
electrons attracted to
+ve nucleus
atomic radius decrease
as a result.
-shielding stays the same.

Q

What are the results for the presence of sulphate from barium sulphate

A

a white percipitate of barium sulphate f formed

23
Q

what is the usage of BaSO4 in medicine

A

used as a barium meal
to highlight the digestive tract under the X-ray.

24
Q

why is the barium meal safe, even though BA is a hard metal

A

barim sulphate is very insoluble.

25
Q

what is the property of flourine?

A

pale yellow gas

26
Q

what are the properties of chlorine?

A

greenish gas

27
Q

what are the properties of bromine

A

red brown liquid

28
Q

what are the properties of iodine

A

a black solid

29
Q

what is the trend in the atomic radius for the group 7 elements?

A

increases
extra shell of electrons

30
Q

what is the trend in electronegativity for group 7 elements?

A

decreases

31
Q

why does the trend in electronegativity decrease for group 7 elements?

A

outer electron is further from nucleus
greater sheilding

32
Q

what is the trend in the boiling point for group 7 elements?

A

increases as you go down the group.

33
Q

why does the trend in BP and MP occur for group 7 elements?

A

large atoms=great amount of electrons
van der Waals forces between molecules is stronger

34
Q

what is meant by the term oxidising agent

A

when the thing gets reduced
so gain an electron

35
Q

are the group 7 halogens oxidising agents?

A

YES

36
Q

what is the trend in the oxidising agent for group 7 elements?

A

it decreases as you go down the group
fluorine the most

37
Q

what happens during a displacement reaction of halide ions in an aqueous solution?

A

the halogen will react with a metal halide

38
Q

give an example of a displacement reaction between a halogen

A

Cl2 + 2NaBr—-> 2NaCl + Br2

39
Q

why does bromine get displaced in the reaction
Cl2 + NaBr—-> NaCl + Br2

A

chlorine is more reactive than bromine

40
Q

TRUE or FALSE halide ions can act as reducing agents

A

TRUE

41
Q

what happens to the halide ion when they are oxidised?

A

electron is given away
and it becomes a halogen molecule

42
Q

what is the trend in the reducing ability forr the halogens?

A

it increases down the group

43
Q

why does the reducing ability increase down the group?

A

an electron is lost from the outermost shell
due to large atomic radius and greater shielding
weaker attraction between the electron and nucleus

44
Q

what do the sodium halides react with?

A

sulfuric acid

45
Q

what is the process of sodium halides reacting with the sulfuric acid?

A

few drops of sulfuric acid is added to the sodium halide

46
Q

what is an example of the reaction for sodium halides and sulfuric acid

A

NaCl + H2SO4—>NaHSO4 + HCl

47
Q

what are the products for the reaction with sulfuric acid and the sodium halide

A

sodium hydrogensulfate (s)
and hydrogen chloride / hydrogen halide

48
Q

How can we test for halides

A

Using silver nitrate

49
Q

Why do we add nitric acid when we test for halides

A

To prevent silver nitrate from reacting with the carbonates and hydroxides

50

What is the colour change when we add silver nitrate to chlorine

A

White precipitate

52
Q

What is the colour change we add silver nitrate to bromine

A

The colours produced by chlorine iodine and bromine are too similar
