Unit 2 Flashcards
(36 cards)
Atomic number
How many protons it contains
Mass number
Tells you how many protons and neutrons in total
Why does an atom have no charge
because it has the same amount of protons and electrons
Prótons have a …. Charge
Positive
Electrons have a ….. charge
Negative
Neutrons have a …. Charge
Neutral
What are electrons arranged in
Electron shells around the nucleus
Alkali metals
The atomic number and the mass number increases as you go down the group
Melting points go down
The melting point of sodium predict
When the melting point of lithium is 180 and potassium is 64
Below 180 and above 64
The boiling point of potassium when
Sodium is 883
And rubidium is 688
Below 883 and above 688
The elements which lithium sodium potassium and rubidium all react with water to produce a gas name the gas
Hydrogen
Predict the reaction between sodium and water
Give of bubbles and gives of heat more than lithium but not more than potassium
What does the mass number tell you about each element
Number of protons and electrons
Why is fluorine ion more stable than a fluorin atom
Ion is a more stable than an atom has it had a full outer shell
The symbol for fluorine is and F write the symbol for a fluorine ion
F— because it gains an electron
Ionic bonds or covalent
When a metal joins with a non metal to form a compound
Ionic
Ionic bonds or covalent
When two atoms share electrons
Covalent bond
Ionic bonds or covalent
When two non metals join together
Covalent bond
Ionic bonds or covalent
When a compound that is dissolved in water conducts electricity
Ionic bound
Ionic bonds or covalent
When atoms gain or lose electrons
Ionic bond
Write the formula for a molecule of methane when it has 4H and 1C
CH4
What holds a lattice together
The equal and opposite electrostatic forces makes them very attached
What does this lattice structure tell you about the melting point and boiling point of sodium chloride
The strength that holds the lattice together is so strong because if electrostatic forced that the melting and the boiling point is high
Group 1 metals properties
Produce hydroxide
Alkali gas
Soft gas
