the periodic table 1.6 Flashcards
what increases going down group 2
-atomic radius
-sheilding (outer electron held less tightly)
- reactivity increases
what are the flame tests for group 2
mg- none
ca- orange/brick red
sr - crimson red
ba- green
what are the group 1 flame tests
li- red
na- yellow (orangy)
k- lilac
group 2 reactions with water
Be - no reaction
mg- steam required
ca- reacts moderately (hydroxide forms)
sr - reacts rapidly (hydroxide forms)
ba- reacts vigorously, (hydroxide formed)
whats the equation when group 2 reacts in water
M + 2H2O —>M(OH)2 + H2
describe the solubility of group 2 sulphates
decreases down a group
MgSO4 - soluble
CaSO4 - slightly soluble
SrSO4 - insoluble
BaSO4 - insoluble
whats the equation for group 2 sulphates
M(aq) 2+ + SO4(aq) 2- ——> MSO4(s)
describe the solubility for group 2 hydroxides
increases down a group
mg(OH)2-insoluble
Ca(OH)2 - slightly soluble
Sr(OH)2- soluble
Ba(OH)2 - soluble
equations for group 2 hydroxides
M(aq)2+ + 2OH-(aq) —> M(OH)2 (s)
describe solubility in group 2 carbonates
all slightly soluble but gets extremely less soluble ass you go down the group
equations for group 2 carbonates
M(aq)2+ + CO3(aq)2- —> MCO3 (s)
whats the trend in thermal stability in group 2 hydroxides and carbonates
increases down the groups
whats the equation for the decomposition of both group 2 hydroxide and carbonate
MCO3—–> MO+ CO2
M(OH)2 —->MO + H2O
what happens going down group 7
- molecule radius increases(greater van der waals forces)
-melting/boiling point increase (due to greater van der waals) - electronegativity decreases due to atomic radius increasing
- reactivity decreases
what observations can be made when halogens (group 7) react with sodium
bright orange flame. sodium ignites and white solid halide
