41
Q

Define amphoteric. Which period three element is amphoteric, why?

A

Has acidic and basic properties, can react with acids and bases. Aluminium, has ionic and covalent character.

42
Q

Explain the trend in atomic radius across period three.

A

Radii decrease across the period because the nuclear charge increases and there is similar shielding. So the nucleus attracts the electrons more strongly and the radius decreases.

43
Q

Why do some oxides form alkaline solutions?

A

Because they produce hydroxide ions, more soluble more alkaline.
