Q

Recall the trend in ionisation energies for group 2

2.7.1.a

A
  • Ionisation energy decreases down group 2
  • More electrons as you go down group 2
  • However the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons decrease due to a greater distance and more shielding

Q

Why are group 1 and 2 more thermically stable going down the group?

2.7.1.e

A
  • Depend on the polarising power of the cation
  • The greater the charge and smaller the ion, the greater the polarising power
  • The more polarising, the less stable
  • Therefore group 1 is more stable in comparison to group 2 due to haveing a +1 charge compared to +2
  • Increases down the group as the molecules get larger therefore less polarising

Q

How are the flame colours produced for the group 1 and 2 elements?

A
  • Upon heating, the electrons become excited
  • When they go back to their normal state, the electrons emit a characteristic wavelength

  • More soluble in hydrocarbons than water
  • Fluorine is a yellow gas
  • chlorine is a green gas
  • Bromine is a red liquid
  • Iodine is a black solid
  • Oxiding power decreases down the group therefore less reactive down the group

Q

Why does the oxiding power of the halogens decrease down the group

2.7.2.a

A
  • As you go down group 7, the elements get larger
  • More screening
  • Therefore a greater electron affinity
17
Q

How does the reducing power change of a halide as you decrease down group 7?

A
  • Increases
18
Q

How to test for halides?

A
  • Add nitric acid to acidify the solution
  • Added to remove impurities
  • Add silver nitrate
  • Silver halide precipitates form
  • Add ammonia for a further test and reaction
19
Q

What are the results when silver nitrate is added to the halogens?

A
  • Fluorine - no reaction
  • Chloride- white
  • Bromide- pale cream
  • Iodide- pale yellow
20
Q

What are the results when ammonia is added to the silver halide precipitates?

A
  • No precipitate for fluorine as soluble
  • AgCl- dissolves to form a colourless solution
  • AgBr- Dissolves only with concentrated ammonia to form a colourless solution
  • AgI- Insoluble in any concentration
21
Q

How do hydrogen halides react with in water?

A
  • Fully ionises
  • e.g. HCl + H2O -> Cl- + H3O+
22
Q

How do hydrogen halides react in ammonia?

A
  • produces a white smoke of an ammonium salt
  • e.g. HCl + NH3 -> NH4Cl
23
Q

What is the reaction for chlorine with cold sodium hydroxide?

A
  • 2NaOH + Cl2 –> NaCl + NaClO + H2O
  • NaClO is sodium chlorate
24
Q

What is the reaction between Chlorine and hot sodium hydroxide?

A
  • 6NaOH + 3Cl2 –> 5NaCl + NaClO3 + 3H2O
  • NaClO3 is sodium chlorate (V)
25
Q

What is the reaction between Iron and halogens?

A
  • Cold fluorine with cold iron wool to oxidise iron into Iron(III) fluoride
  • Chlorine gas passed over hot iron to form iron(III) chloride
  • Bromine vapour passed over hot iron to form Iron(III) bromide
  • Iron is oxidised from an oxidation number of 0 to +3
  • Iodine vapour and hot iron react to form iron(II) iodide
26
Q

What are the reactions for Iron (II) with halogens?

A
  • Bromine and chloride oxidise iron(II) to iron(III)
  • Iodine cannot
  • Iron (II) oxidises iodine into iodide
  • Iron (II) is green while Iron (III) is pale green
27
Q

What is the reaction for halogens with concentrated sulfuric acid?

A
  • Must be added to a solid sample
  • F- forms steamy acid fumes of HF
  • Cl- forms steamy acid fumes of HCl
  • Br- forms steamy acid fumes of HBr which is contaminated with brown bromine vapour
  • I- forms some steamy fumes of HI but mostly purple iodine vapour
