Periodic Table And Energy Flashcards
How are elements arranged in a periodic table
They’re arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers
What is meant by periodicity
Repeating trends in chemical and physical properties
Define first ionisation energy
The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of the gaseous element to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions
What are the factors that effect ionisation energy
Atomic radius
Nuclear charge
Electron shielding of screening
Why does first ionisation energy decrease between group 2 to 3
In group 3 outermost electrons are in p orbital whereas in group 2 they’re in s orbital so electrons are easier to remove
Does first ionisation increase or decrease between the end of one period and the start of the next
Decrease because
Increase in atomic radius
Increase in electron shielding
Does first ionisation Increase or decrease down a group
Decrease because
Shielding increases
Atomic radius increases
What’s the most reactive metal of group 2
Barium
3 physical properties of group 2 metals
High melting and boiling points
Low density metals
Form colorless compounds
Does reactivity increase or decrease down group 2
Increases- electrons are lost more easily because larger atomic radius and more shielding
What are the products when group 2 elements react with water
Hydroxide and hydrogen gas
What is oxidised and what is reduced in a reaction between group 2 metal and water
Metal- oxidised
Hydrogen from each water - reduced
What is formed when group 2 oxides react with water
Metal hydroxide
List 2 properties of halogens
Low melting and boiling points
Exist as diatomic molecules
Trend in boiling point down group 7
Increases because size of atom increases
More electrons(more London forces)
Trend in reactivity down group 7
Decreases because
Atomic radius increases
Electron shielding increases
Ability to gain electron decreases
Define disproportionation
The oxidation and reduction of the same element in a redox reaction
Why is chlorine added to drinking water
Kills bacteria in the water and makes it safer to drink
How can you test for carbonate Ions
Add strong acid to the sample
Collect the gas produced
Pass through lime water
Positive test- carbonate ions
Fizzing
Lime water turns cloudy
Test for sulfate ions
Dilute hydrochloric acid and barium chlorine to the sample
Test for sulfate ions
Dilute hydrochloric acid and barium chlorine to the sample
Positive test- sulfate ions
White precipitate
Test for halide ions
Dissolve sample in water
Add aqueous silver nitrate
Record colour change
If difficult to distinguish colour add aqueous ammonia
Note solubility
Positive result- halide ions
Cl-: white precipitate
Br-: cream precipitate
I-: yellow precipitate
Order or qualitative tests
Carbonate,sulfate,halide
Test for ammonium ions
Sodium hydroxide and warm
Test gas with red litmus paper
