Module 3 Flashcards
define first ionisation energy
the energy needed to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
what factors effect an elements ionisation energy
atomic radius, nuclear charge, sheilding
define second ionisation energy
energy needed to remove 1 electron from each ion in one mole of gaseous 1+ ions to form 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions.
trends in ionsiation energy across a period
increases going from left to right. Atomic radius decreases, nuclear charge increases but shielding stays the same so there are stronger electrostatic forces.
trends in ionisation energy down a group
decreases as more electron shells so increased shielding and increased atomic radius causing weaker electrostatic forces. This counteracts the increase in nuclear charge.
Trend in MP/BP across period 2 and 3.
increases from group 1-14. (stronger metallic bonds as more positive ions are formed or giant covalent structures). Sharp decrease from group 14 - 15 (change from giant to simple structures). comparatively low from 15-18.
How can you tell how many electrons an element has in its outer shell
Looking at the ionisation energies. The biggest jump in ionisation energy is where it loses an electron shell e.g. if there is the biggest jump between 4 and 5 ionisation energy then there were 4 electrons in the outer shell.
why does ionisation energy drastically increases once all the electrons in the outer shell have been removed
decrease in shielding, decrease in atomic radius and increase in effectiveness of nuclear charge.
trend in reactiveness of group 2 elements
as you go down the group it is more reactive as it is easier to lose electrons
write a general equation for the reaction of water with a group 2 metal using M to represent the metal
M(s)+ 2H2O(l) —– M(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
write an equation to show formation of metal hydroxide from a group 2 metal oxide and water
CaO(s) + H2O(l) —– Ca(OH)2(s)
solubility of group 2 metal hydroxides trend
as you go down the group solubility/alkalinity increases
chemical formula for lime water
Ca(OH)2
what is slaked lime and what is it used for
calcium hydroxide - added to fields of lime to increase pH of acidic soils
what calcium compound is used in indigestion treatments
calcium carbonate
describe test for sulphate ions
Acidify BaCl2 by adding a few drops of HCl. Add this to the solution. If sulphate ions are present then a white precipitate of BaSO4 forms.
state the chemical name and the use for barium meal. Why can barium not be swallowed but barium meal can
barium sulfate - detects abnormalities in the esophagus, stomach and small bowel. Bariums sulfate is not toxic unlike barium.
chemical formula and use for ‘milk of magnesia’ and why it has this name.
Mg(OH)2 - treats acid indigestion. Has a milky white colour.
trend in reactivity of group 17
reactivity decreases going down the group (harder to gain an electron)
boiling point trend of group 17
increases going down the group as there are stronger london forces as there are more electrons.
what is a halide
any group 17 element that has formed an ion
ionic equation for test for halides
Ag+(aq) + X-(aq) —- AgX(s)
describe the test for halides
add aqueous silver nitrate to aqueous solution. If halide present precipitate forms. Add aqueous ammonia to test solubility of precipitate
colour of precipitate and solubility of Cl in NH3
white. Soluble in dilute NH3
colour of precipitate and solubility of Br in NH3
cream. Soluble in concentrated NH3
colour of precipitate and solubility of I in NH3
yellow. Insoluble in concentrated NH3
ionic equation for carbonate test
2H+(aq) +CO3(2-)(aq) —— CO2(g) + H2O(l)
describe the carbonate test
add dilute nitric acid to solution. If you see bubbles it could be carbonate. Bubble gas through lime water if it turns cloudy then carbonate present.
ionic equation for sulfate test
Ba2+(aq) + SO4(2-)(aq) —— BaSO4 (s)
describe the test for sulfate ions
add barium nitrate to solution. If white precipitate forms sulfate ions are present
what are the sequence of tests
- carbonate, 2.sulfate, 3.halides
