Q

Trend in oxidising agents of group 7

A

Oxidising power decrease down group because atoms get larger so weaker electrostatic attraction so harder to gain electrons (oxidising agent itself is reduced so must gain electrons)

Q

What happens when bromine or iodine salts react with sulphuric acid?

A

The hydrogen halide given off is strong enough to be oxidised by the sulphuric acid so that little hydrogen halide is obtained.

With BROMIDE SALTS the bromide is oxidised to bromine while the sulfurique acid is reduced to sulfur dioxide (which is why hydrogen bromide + sulphuric acid —> bromine + sulphur dioxide + water)

Q

What experiments prove the different reducing powers of halide ions?

A

Halide ions réactions with sulphuric acid and what the products are.

Cl- doesn’t reduce sulphuric acid
Br- reduces sulphuric acid to sulfur dioxide (ox no. from+6 in H2SO4 –>+4)
I- reduces sulphuric acid to hydrogen sulfide (ox no +6 in H2SO4 —-> -2)

(see reducing power INCREASES down the group because the ion reduces sulfuric acid to something with an even smaller oxidation state)

Q

Q

Charge density

A

The quantity of charge related to the area. Eg. Something might have a high charge but be a massive ion so the charge is spread over a really large area and isn’t actually that polarising.

‘electric charge per unit area of surface’

Q

Elements which do not decompose at Bunsen burner temperatures and why?

A

Group 1 carbonates except from lithium.

Group 1 carbonates don’t have a large enough charge density to polarise the carbonate ion.
This is because they all have a 1+ charge which means they have even less polarising power than the group 2 elements which have a 2+ charge. This means the attraction between the cation (carbonate) and anion (oxygen) remains strong and so more energy is required to break it so it has high decomposition temperatures and is very thermally stable.

Lithium is small enough to have a polarising effect so lithium carbonate does decompose

Q

Trend in first ionisation energy down group 2 and why?

A

Decreases

As the you down the group there are more shells, more inner electron shielding and a larger atomic radius. There is a weaker electrostatic attraction between the outer shell electron and the nucleus so less energy is required to remove it hence ionisation energy decreases down the group.

Q

Trend in reactivity down group 2 elements and why?

A

Increases

Because less energy is required to remove the outer shell electron (due to the increased atomic radius, more shells and more inner electron shielding), it is easier to lose two electrons and form cations. The easier it can lose electrons the more reactive it is.

Q

Explain why chlorine is a better oxidising agent than iodine when oxidising iron?

A

Chlorine is a smaller atom than iodine
So there’s a stronger attraction between its nucleus and electron
So it gains electrons more easily
So can take more electrons from iron than iodine (because chlorine is an oxidising agent so is reduced so gains electrons which are it takes from iron)

Q

Trend in thermal stability down group 1 and 2?

thermal stability increases down the group

charge density decreases down the group
polarising power decreases down the group
C-O/N-O bond less distorted (bond in anion) and doesn’t weaken as much
so coumpound more thermally stable

69
Q

Talk about limewater

A

limewater is saturated calcium hydroxide, when carbon dioxide passes through it, it forms insoluble calcium carbonate which is what causes the cloudy suspension

70
Q

Flame formation

A

when substances are heated, the energy provided promotes electrons to a higher energy level. When the electrons fall back down to their original energy level, they release this energy in the form of light.

71
Q

Which ions don’t produce a flame?

A

Mg and Be ions - not enough energy from bunsen

72
Q

Why might there be no colour to a flame?

A

bunsen burner doesn’t supply enough heat energy to promote electrons

73
Q

experimental procedures to show patterns in thermal decomposition of group 1 and 2 carbonates

A

Heat carbonate in test tube with a delivery tube extending into limewater
Record time taken for limewater to turn cloudy
Repeat with different carbonates
Limewater will take longer to go cloudy for more thermally stable carbonates

74
Q

experimental procedures to show patterns in thermal decomposition of group 1 and 2 nitrates

A

no official test

75
Q

Trend in melting point and boiling points of halogens as you go down the group?

A

increases

76
Q

Explain the trend in melting point and boiling points of halogens as you go down the group?

A

As you go down the group

  • the molecules become larger
  • so there are more electrons
  • and more instantaneous dipoles so there are more london forces (larger + stronger)
  • more energy is required to break these intermolecular forces
77
Q

Appearence at room temperature + extra stuff

  • fluorine
  • chlorine
  • bromine
  • iodine
A
  • fluorine = pale yellow gas - highly reactive
  • chlorine = green-yellow gas - reactive and poisonous in high concentrations
  • bromine = brown volatile liquid - gives off dense brown/orange fumes
  • iodine = shiny grey solid; purple gas

85
Q

What is the trend in electronegativity down group 7?

A

It decreases

86
Q

Explain the trend in electronegativity down group 7

A

As you go down the group, the molecules have a larger atomic radius, more shells, more inner electron shielding so the attraction between the nucleus and bonding pair of electrons that it wants to gain is much weaker and so they are less electronegative

87
Q

What is the trend in reactivity down group 7?

A

it decreases

88
Q

Explain the trend in reactivity down group 7

A

Reactivity decreases down the group because as you go down the group
-the atoms become larger
- there are more shells
-more inner electron shielding
-so they less easily attract and accept electrons (form 1- ions less easily) ///
so a weaker attraction between the nucleus and the (8th) electron they want to gain so they are less reactive. (Because easier to gain electrons means more reactive)

89
Q

trend in oxidising agents down group 7

A

As you go down group 7, the strength of the oxidising agent decreases

90
Q

explain the trend in oxidising agents down group 7

A

Oxidising agent strength decreases down the group because

oxidising agents themsleves are reduced (they gain electrons)
but as you go down group 7, due to the increasing atomic radius, inner electron shielding and shells, the atoms less easily attract and accept electrons

91
Q

explain the trend in reducing agents down group 7

A

reducing agent strength increases down the group

reducing agents themselves are oxidised and lose electrons
and as you go down group 7 (due to larger atomic radius, more shells, more inner electron shielding) it becomes easier to lose electrons because of the weaker attraction

Q

sodium and chlorine equation + nature of reaction

A

2Na + Cl2 –> 2NaCl

93
Q

reaction vigor down group 7 (reacting with metals)

141
Q

hydrogen halides and water - liberation of energy idea?

A

the formation of the hydrated H3O- ion and the X- ion liberates enough energy for the compensating of the H-X bond breaking in the reactants.

HI is the stongest acid of the hydrogen halides because it has the weakest bond and is the easiest to break.

142

white smoke of ammonium halide

143
Q

Talk about silver halides and photography

A

Photochromic lenses contain silver chloride, which dissociates to form silver in the glass. Light source removed and silver recombines with the chlorine.

The precipitates (accept AgI) darken in sunlight. The reaction is used in photography.

144

hydrogen halide + ammonia —> ammonium halide (white smoke forms)

145
Q

The properties of fluorine and astatine can be deduced from patterns seen with chlorine, bromine and iodine…

A

fluorine - strongest oxidising agent but weakest reducing agents

astatine - weakest oxidising agent but strongest reducing agent

146
Q

What is the strength of the F-F bond like?

A

weaker than Cl-Cl because it is so short that the lone pairs of electrons in the two atoms repel each other and weaken the bond

147
Q

Fact about fluorine and oxidation states

A

fluorine usually gives rise to the highest oxidation number in the element it combines with (SF6 vs SCl4 , S has ox state of +6 vs +4)

148
Q

astatine is…x…isotope?….

A

radioactive and has a short half life so only a few of its atoms exist at any one time. Longest lived isotope (astatine-211) has a half life of 8.3 hours!
