What happens to first ionisation energies down a group
Decreases
Causes of change in ionisation energy down a group
Atomic radius increases, shielding increases, nuclear attraction decreases- ionisation energy decreases
Trend in first ionisation energy across a period
Increases
Causes of trend in ionisation energy across a period
Nuclear charge increases Same shell-similar shielding Nuclear attraction increases Atomic radius decreases Ionisation energy increases
Trends down group 2
Reactivity inc
Ionisation energy dec
Solubility inc
pH inc- more alkaline down group
Why does boiling point increase down group 7
More electrons
Stronger London forces
more energy necessary to break forces
Boiling point increases
Why does reactivity decrease down group 7
Atomic radius increases
More shielding
Less nuclear attraction to attract electron to get full outer shell
Reactivity decreases
Why does reactivity increase down group 2
Atomic radius increases
Nuclear attraction decreases
Shielding increases
Less energy needed to lose electrons
G2+O2
MgO
Mg h20
Mg(oh)2 and h2
Mg hcl
Salt and water
MgO h20
Mg(oh)2
Solubility of group 2 hydroxides
Increases down group as has more OH- ions
Risks of chlorine in water
React with hydrocarbons ch4 from decaying veg to produce chlorinated hydrocarbons suspected of causing cancer
