Module 3 Flashcards
what is periodicity
the repeating pattern seen across different periods
advantages and disadvantages of numbering the groups 1-7
+ve group number matches number of electrons in highest energy shell
-ve doesn’t include d-block
advantages of numbering groups 1-18
+ve numbers each column in the s, p and d blocks sequentially
what is the s block
groups 1 and 2
s-subshells being filled
what is the p block
groups 13-18
p-subshells being filled
group 18 are inert as their subshells are filled
what is the d block
transition metals
define first ionisation energy
energy needed to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
factors affecting ionisation energy
atomic radius
nuclear charge
shielding
how does ionisation energy increase across the periodic table
from bottom left to top right
from bottom to top, from left to right
what evidence do ionisation energies provide
shell structure that supports the Bohr model of the atom
and that subshells fill in a particular order
why does hydrogen have a high 1st ionisation energy
as the electron is closest to the nucleus and has no shielding
what is second ionisation energy
energy needed to remove 1 electron from each ion In 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions to form 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions
what happens to melting and boiling points across periods 2, 3 and 17
increases from Li to C
increases from Na to Si
increases from F2 to At2
what happens to melting and boiling points as you go down the periodic table
decrease
what happens to the atomic radius across a periodic table
decreases
what happens to the atomic radius as you go down the periodic table
increases
why does reactivity decrease down group 17
because its harder for it to attract an extra electron into its outer shell and be reduced to form a 1- ion, due to increased shielding and a larger atomic radius, which decrease the effective nuclear charge
what colour to the halide ions turn when silver nitrate is added
cl- white precipitate
br- cream precipitate
I- pale yellow precipitate
what happens to the halide ions when dilute and conc. ammonia are added
cl- dissolves in dilute
br- dissolves in conc.
I- insoluble
define disproportionation
oxidation and reduction of the same element in a redox reaction
chlorine and water equation
Cl2 + H2O –> HClO + HCl
can purify drinking water
chlorine and alkali equation
Cl2 + 2NaOH –> NaClO + NaCl + H2O
define enthalpy
amount of energy that a substance contains
what is an exothermic reaction
gives heat to surroundings
displayed as a -ve enthalpy
what is an endothermic reaction
energy being taken in from surroundings
displayed as a +ve enthalpy
