type of structure Na Mg Al
giant lattice
type of structure Si
macromolecular
type of structure P4 S8 Cl2
simple covalent molecules
type of structure Ar
mono atomic
type of bonding Na Mg Al
metallic
type of bonding Si P4 S8 Cl2
covalent
type of forces Na Mg Al
metallic bonds- attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons in a lattice
type of forces Si
covalent- shared pair of electrons
type of forces P4 S8 Cl2
VDWs- temporary induced intermolecular forces
type of forces Ar
VDWs
bp and mp Na Mg Al Si
increasingly high
bp and mp P4 S8 Cl2 Ar
low- weak forces
trend across period in atomic radius
decreases
why does atomic radius decrease across period
- more protons
- electrons added to same shell so shielding is same
- attraction between nucleus and outer electrons increases
trend cross period first IE
increases
why does first IE increase across period
- -more protons
- electrons added to same shell so shielding is same
- attraction between nucleus and outer electrons increases
trend in electronegativity across period
increases
observations of sodium with water
fizzes and floats on surface
Na dissolves
sodium and water equation
Na+H2O > NaOH + 1/2H2
observations of magnesium with cold water
- v slow reaction
- occasional bubble
equation magnesium and cold water
Mg + H2O> Mg(OH)2 + H2
observation magnesium with steam
- white flame
- white solid
equation magnesium with steam
Mg + H2O > MgO + H2
why is aluminium unreactive with water
-resistant to further oxidation because of Al2O3 coating
