How the position of an element in the periodic table is
related to the arrangement of electrons in its atoms and
to its atomic number
they are arranged in order of atomic (proton) number
so elements with similar properties are in columns (groups)
electrons in the same group have the same number of electrons in it’s outer shell- this gives them similar chemical properties
what are group 1 elements called
alkali metals
what do group 1 elements react and produce (3)
- all react with oxygen to create an oxide
- all react with chlorine to form white precipitate , metal chloride salts 2NaCl
- all react with water to produce hydrogen gas and metal hydroxides
how does the reactivity change in group 1 elements
reactivity increases- outer electron easily lost
low melting,boiling points
higher relative atomic mass
three characteristics of alkali metals
- all have 1 electron in their outer shell
- soft and have a low density
- first three are less dense than water Li,Na,K
• explain how properties of the elements in Group 1 depend on
the outer shell of electrons of the atoms
reactivity increases as atoms get larger
the distance between nucleus and outer electrons increases
attraction from the nucleus decreases
allowing them to more easily lose electrons
how do Group 1 elements react with water
release hydrogen and form hydroxides
this dissolves too form alkaline solutions
react vigorously with water
fizzing and moving around the surface of water
how do Group 1 elements react with oxygen
react with oxygen to create oxide
LI-red flame, white solid
Na-orange flame,white solid
K-lilac flame,make solid immediately
how do Group 1 elements react with chlorine
to form white precipitate
Li-white powder
Na-yellow flame, cloudwhite powder
K-more vigorous than sodium
how group 1 metals react with non-metals
- form ionic compounds
- soluble white solids to form colorless solutions
- 1 electron in outer shell
what are group 7 elements called
Halogens
how properties of the elements in Group 7 depend on
the outer shell of electrons of the atoms
-they all have seven electrons in their outer shell
non-metals
exist as molecules with pairs of atoms Cl(2)
characteristics of Group 7 elements (5)
- 7 electrons in outer shell
- colored vapors
- diatomic molecules Cl(2)
- form ionic salts with metals
- forms molecular compounds with non-metals
group 7 elements their states of matter and colour
Fluorine= pale yellow gas chlorine= pale green gas bromine= dark brown liquid iodine= grey solid, purple vapour
trends in group 7 elements as you go down the group
higher relative molecular mass
higher melting and boiling point
less reactive- less easily to gain electrons
What are redox reactions?
one substance is reduced and the other substance is oxidised
what do acids and some metals produce
acid + metal-> salt +hydrogen
redox reaction of hydrochloric acid and magnesium
2HCl + Mg -> MgCl2 + H2
- Mg -> Mg 2+ + 2e - , Mg has lost electrons so Mg has been oxidised
- 2H + + 2e - -> H2 , H has gained electrons, so H has been reduced
