Q

Which elements are most likely to form ionic bonds

A

An atom with just one or two electrons in the outer shell, they want to get rid of the electrons so they have a full outer shell

Atoms in group 6 and 7 which have nearly full outer shells so want to gain electrons to have a full outer shell

Q

What are the properties of ionic compounds

A

The ions form a closely packed regular lattice structure
Ionic bonds are very strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
They have high melting points because it’s hard to break the bonds between the ions
They conduct electricity when aqueous or molten because the ions separate and are free to move so can carry current but in solids they ions are held rigid so can’t move

Q

How to make a pure dry sample of an insoluble salt

A

Precipitation reaction
Add one spatula of lead nitrate to the test tube and fill with distilled water and shake
Do the same to one spatula of sodium chloride
Mix the two solutions and stir them up the lead chloride will precipitate out
Filter out the precipitate and wash with distilled water
Leave out the lead chloride to dry

Q

How to get a pure dry sample of barium Sulfate

A

Mix the two soluble salts (barium nitrate and potassium Sulfate)
Filter out the precipitate
Wash with distilled water
Dry on filter paper

17
Q

How is barium Sulfate used in medicine

A

It is opaque to X-rays so when drunk it shows up and can show blockages in the gut
Barium salts are toxic but barium Sulfate is insoluble so can safely be drunk because non is a absorbed into the body
This is known as a barium meal

18
Q

What are the flame test colours

A

Sodium yellow orange
Potassium lilac
Calcium brick red
Copper blue green

19
Q

How to do a flame test

A

Clean the wire look by dipping it in hydrochloric acid and rinsing with distilled water
Dip the clean wire loop into a sample of the compound put the wire in the blue part of the flame

20
Q

What is the test for carbonates

A

You can test for carbon dioxide by bubbling through lime water and it will turn milk if co2 is present
So reacting the carbonate with an acid produces carbon dioxide gas

21
Q

What is the test for Sulfates

A

add dilute HCL followed by barium chloride solution

a white precipitate of barium Sulfate means the original compound was a Sulfate

22
Q

What is the test for chloride ions

A

Add dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution

A chloride will give a white precipitate of silver chloride

23
Q

What is a spectroscopy

A

It used to identify elements in a sample the patterns of light emitted are different for each element
It is fast and reliable
It allowed scientists to discover new elements because new patterns of light were discovered
