Q

why are alkali metals and halogens the most reactive?

A

-alkali metals only have one valence electron and want
to get rid of it
-halogens have an almost a full valence shell and they
want to get one more electron

Q

why are nobles gasses the most stable?

A

Q

homogeneous mixture

Study These Flashcards
A

-also called solutions
-the particles blend together in one phase and dont
separate upon setting
-solutions include a solute dissolved in a solvent
-example: air is made up of many different gases but
you cant see the different gases

21
Q

heterogeneous mixture

Study These Flashcards
A
  • components are not uniformly mixed

- separates into two or more layers when settled

22
Q

what are the types of reactions?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • synthesis
  • decomposition
  • combustion
  • single displacement
  • double displacment
23
Q

synthesis

Study These Flashcards
A

-an element or small compound combines with one or
more elements/compounds to form a new substance
-a+b=ab

24
Q

decompostion

Study These Flashcards
A

-a compound breaks down into elements/smaller
compounds
-ab=a+b

25
combustion
-reaction of an element or compound with oxygen -note any compound with carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen makes CO2+H2O for products if theres is sufficient O2 avalible -if not enough O2 is available incomplete combustion CO and C are made -sulphur+oxygen=sulphur dioxide
26
single displacement
-one element within a compound is replaced by another element -a+bc=b+ac
27
double displacement
- cations are traded between two ionic compounds | - ab+cd=cb+ad
28
whats is an atom?
- an atom is the smallest particle that retains the properties of an atom -atoms are very tiny and mostly empty space
29
what is a sub-atomic particle?
- protons - neutrons - electrons
30
what is the charge, mass and location of a proton?
- relative charge is +1 - relative mass is 1 - location is the nucleus
31
what is the charge, mass and location of a neutron?
- relative charge is 0 - relative mass is 1 - location is the nucleus
32
what is the charge, mass and location of an electron?
- relative charge is -1 - relative mass is 1/2000 - location is oribitingthe nucleus
33
how many protons are in an element?
-the same amount as the atomic number
34
how many electrons are in an element?
-the same amount as the atomic number -if there is an extra charge at the top of the number you add that number to the atomic number and the anser is the number of electrons
35
how many neutrons are in an element?
-the mass number subtract the atomic number
36
isotope
-atoms of the same element that have different | numbers of neutrons
37
isotope abundance
- the frequency each isotope appear in an element | - it is always expressed as a % decimal
38
average atomic mass
-the average of all masses of all isotopes taking into their account their isotopic abundance -how to calculate: 1. multiple mass of each isotope by its abundance 2. find the sum of these values
39
what is the equation for average atomic mass?
-7(0.9258)+6(0.0742) -lithium-7 occurs 92.58% of the time and lithium-6 occurs 7.42% of the time -the number infront of the brackets are the type of element and the number inside the brackets are the percent they occur but in decimal form
40
how do you find the isotopic abundance?
- average mass=%B-10(10)+%B-11(11) - find the average mass of the elemant on the periodic table and let the first part of the equation equal x and the second part equal 1-x - 10.81=x(10)+(1-x)(11) - 10.81=10x+11-11x - 10.81=11-x - x=0.19 - so B-10 has the abundance of 19% and B-11 has the adundance of 81%
41
name the trends of the periodic table
- atomic radius - ionic radius - first ionization energy - electronegativity (en) - matallic behaviour - electron affinity
42
atomic radius
-the distance measured from the centre of the necleus to the outer most electron -increases as you move down a group-why: as you move down a group there are more energy level between the necles and valance shell -decreases as you move across a period-why: as you move across the number of protons in the necleus increases this increases its postive pull the necleus has on the electrons orbiting it pulling the necleus.
43
ionic radius
-metals lose electrons to become cations, non-metals gain electrons to become anions -the ions beloware isoelectronic-they have different atomic numbers but the same numberof electrons as eachon the (Ne) -trend-ionic radius increases the number of the protons decreases
44
First ionization energy
-the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from the atom -decreases as you move down a group-why: the atomic size is larger and the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus so the pull on electrons from the nucleus’s lower -increases as you move across a period-why: the attraction between the nucleus and the electron is increasing due to the increasing number of protons in the nucleus this causes it to be more difficult for electrons to be pulled off
45
Electronegativity (en)
- the ability to attract electrons in a bond - increases across periods and decreases down groups - the en difference between 2 atoms helps us decide the type of bond that will form
46
Metallic behaviour
- metals are malleable/good conductors if heat/electricity | - metallic behaviour decreases across abs period and increases down a group
47
Electronic affinity
- the amount of energy released when an electron is attached to a neutral atom - it can also be looked at as the likelihood of an atom to become an anion - increases across periods/decreases down groups
48
Lewis structure
- diagram only showing the valence electrons of an element | - the electrons are placed every 90 degrees until they have to repeat again
