Module 3 - periodic table and energy Flashcards
How are elements aranged in the periodic table?
proton number
What are the names of groups 1 2 7 and 8?
What is the name of the elements in the middle of the periodic table?
Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals Halogens Noble Gasses
Transition metals
Which elements exist as diatomic molecules?
H2 N2 O2 Halogens: F2 Cl2 Br2 I2
Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer
Why do noble gasses have the lowest melting point?
Exist as single atoms
Define metallic bonding
Electrostatic attraction between metal cations and delocalised electrons from the outer shell
Why do melting points increase across the period?
More delocalised electrons
Charges of cations increase
smaller ion = higher charge density:ratio of charge to volume
Define giant covalent structure and their properties
Network of covalently bonded atoms
High melting points
Define allotrope
pure forms of the same element that differ in structure
Group 2 reacts with water to produce …
hydroxides and hydrogen gas
Group 2 reacts with diluted acids to produce …
salts and hydrogen
They burn in oxygen with what characteristic colour?
Brick red
What is the test for Ba 2+ ions?
White pricipitate forms
What are the periodic trends of alkaline earth metals?
Atomic and ionic radius increases down group - more shells
Ionisation energy decreases down group
Reactivity increases down group
Melting points decrease down group
Solubility of oxides and hydroxides increase down group
What is the trend in the halogen group?
Less electronegative down group
Less reactive down group
Melting point/boiling point increase down group
Larger molecules
more electrons
stronger london forces
What are some disadvantages of water treatement with chlorine?
Cl2 harmful and toxic - irritates respiritory system:liquid chlorine burns eyes/skin
Cl2 reacts with organic compounds to form chlorinated hydrocarbons- carcinogenic
What are some alternitives to treating water with chlorine?
ozone
Uv light
What are the tests for all the halides
F- no precipate doesn’t dissolve
Cl- White precipitate dissolves in diluted NH3
Br- crem precipitate dissolves in concentated NH3
I- yellow precipitate insoluble
How to identify halide ions in displacement reactions
F2 yellow gas
Cl2 green gas water-colourless hexane-pale green
Br2 red brown liquid water-yellow/orange hexane-orange/red
I2 black purple solid water-brown hexane-pink/purple
What is the test for carbonates?
Fizzing carbonate dissapears
What is the test for CO2?
lime water turns cloudy
