Q

What is a polymer?

A

Long chains of molecules and they can be cross linked joining several chains together. They are made from smaller molecules called monomers. Rubber bands, plastic bags and chewing gum are examples of polymers

Q

How are synthetic polymers made?

A

Made by joining lots of monomers together to make very long molecules . This process is called polymerisation. Many polymers are made from chemicals that are obtained from crude oil.

What is a horizontal row called

A

A period.

35
Q

Why are elements put in groups

A

They share the same characteristics and properties.

36
Q

Who put the periodic table together?

A

Dimitri Mendeleev

37
Q

What did dalton do to arrange the elements

A

Put them in order of their atomic weights

38
Q

What did newlands do9 to arrange the elements

A

He made the law of octaves whilst using daltons arrangement of mass. But then other scientists ridiculed him

39
Q

How did dobereiner arrange the periodic table

Triad arrangements

40
Q

What is group 7 called

A

The halogens

41
Q

What is in group 7

42
Q 
Characteristics of group 7
Melting points?
State?
Colour?
Reactivity
A

They have low melting points; increases as it goes down the table
They change from gasses to solids as thry go down.
Fl-green cl-yellow br-brown I- blacky purple
The reactivity decreases as you go down the table.

43
Q

What group reacts with iron

A

Group 7

44

46
Q

Properties of group 1?
State?

Colour?
A

Density and reactivity increases as you go down the group.
Boiling point increases as you go down the group
Colourless

49
Q

Why is group 1 reactive?

A

Because group 1 has one electron in its outer shell and they want to fill the outer shell.
