The Periodic Table Flashcards
How do group 1 metals react with water?
They react vigorously and fizz to form hydrogen and a white salt that is dissolved to form an alkaline hydroxide solution.
What happens to group 7 elements the further down the periodic table you go?
They become less reactive as the forces exerted by the nucleus are less affective as there is a larger atomic radius and more atomic shielding
Cl2+2KBr goes to what? And why?
2KCL+ Br2.
Because Chlorine is more reactive so it displaces the bromine
A more reactive halogen can…
Displace a less reactive one in an aqueous of its salt.
What happens to group 1 metals the further down the table you go?
They become more reactive because there is a larger atomic radius meaning that the outer electrons experience less of the intermolecular forces. Because there are more electrons between the nucleus and the outer shell more atomic shielding is experienced.
Give the balanced equation for the reaction of water with sodium.
2Na+2H2O==>2NaOH+ H2
Give an industrial use of transition elements
As catalysts
Iron in the haber process
Nickel in hydrogenation
What are some properties of transition metals?
They produce coloured compounds
They are not very reactive
