More electrons
Greater electron shift
Greater dipole
Stronger VDW
More energy required to overcome

Q

Difference between halogens and halide.

A

Halogen has 7 e- on outer shell

Halide has 8 e- on outer shell hence is a 1- ion from gaining 1 e-

Q

Trend in electronegativity down the group

A 
Decreases
Atomic radius increases 
Greater shielding
Decreased attraction between positive nucleus and outmost electron
Hence harder to gain an electron

Q

Trend in oxidising ability down group

A

Decrease
Atomic radius increases
Increased shielding
Attraction between nucleus and outermost electron decreased
Hence ability to gain an electron is decreased

26
Q

Adding dilute NH3 to Cl- ppt

A

Dissolve

Go colourless

27
Q

Adding dilute NH3 to Br- ppt

A

Would not dissolve

28
Q

Adding dilute NH3 to I- ppt

A

Doesn’t dissolve

29
Q

Adding concentrated NH3 to Cl- ppt

A

Dissolves

30
Q

Adding concentrated NH3 to Br- ppt

A

Dissolves and goes colourless

31
Q

Adding concentrated NH3 to I- ppt

A

Doesn’t dissolve

32
Q

Adding NH3 to AgF

A

Don’t bother testing it as it has already dissolved

33
Q

Adding NH3 to AgAt

A

Doesn’t dissolve

34
Q

Why is nitric acid used?

A

To neutralise carbonate ions in solution to REMOVE them

Carbonate ions could form a white ppt with Ag which could be mistaken for presence of chloride ions.

35
Q

Equation for the neutralisation of carbonate ions

A

2H+ + CO3^-2 ➡️ H2O + CO2

36
Q

Why is the neutralisation of carbonate ions not a redox reaction?

A

No electrons gained or donated
