Q

what does tarnish mean

A

shiny to dull

21
Q

how does the reactivity of metals change down a group

A

increases

22
Q

why does the reactivity of metals increase down the group

A

outer elctron gets further from the nucleus and is less attracted to it

23
Q

what type of solution is produced when an alkali metal reacts with water

A

alkaline

24
Q

state the typical observations when an alkali metal reacts with water

A
  • fizzes
  • floats
  • moves across the surface
  • disappears
  • heat is released
25
Q

what products are formed when an alkali metal reacts with water

A

metal hydroxide + hydrogen

26
Q

write a half equation to represent a sodium atom becoming an ion

A

Na -> Na+ +e-

27
Q

how does the rate of reactivity of group 7 change down the group

A

decreases

28
Q

why does the reactivity of group 7 dcrease down the group

A

outer shell gets further from the nucleus and the incoming electron is less attracted to it

29
Q

half equation to represent a chlorine atom becoming an ion

A

Cl + e- -> cl-

30
Q

half equation to represent a chlorine molecule becoming an ions

A

Cl2 +2e- -> 2cl-

31

yellow gas

33
Q

describe the appearance of chlorine

A

green gas

34
Q

describe the appearance of bromine

A

red-brown liquid

35

describe the appearance of iodine

A

grey-black solid

36
Q

iodine sublimes. what does this mean

A

changes from a solid to a gas

37
Q

describe the test for chlorine gas

A

damp universal indicator changes to red and then bleaches white

38
Q

why does the following equation occur?
chlorine + sodium bromide -> sodium chloride + bromine

A

chlorine is more reactive than bromine

39
Q

what observations occur in the following reaction?
chlorine + sodium bromide -> sodium chloride + bromine

A

solution changes from colourless to orange

40
Q

what observations occur in the following reaction?
chlorine + sodium iodide -> sodium chloride + iodine

A

solution changes from colourless to brown

41
Q

why are noble gases unreactive

A

they have a full outer shell of electrons which makes them stable

42
Q

describe the apperance of noble gases

A

colourless gases

43
Q

how does the boiling points of the noble gases change down the group

A

increases

44
Q

A

blue

48
Q

state some differences between group 1 metals and transition metals

A
  1. group 1-low m.p, tm-high m.p
  2. group 1-very reactive with water, tm- low reactivity with watrer
  3. group 1- form 1+ ions, tm form ions with different charges
  4. group 1 compounds are white, tm compounds are coloured
