• by increasing proton numbers

Question 6

what are common between elements in the same group - 5

Answer 6

• same number of valence electrons
• forms ions with similar chemical formulae
• form compounds with similar formulae
• have the same chemical properties
• show gradual change in physical properties

Question 7

what are common between elements in the same period - 3

• goes from metals to non metals

Question 8

important trend across the periodic table

Answer 8

from metal, transition metals to non metals their oxides change from basic to amphoteric to acidic

• all form insoluble silver and lead salts

Question 15

physical trends of halogens - 4

Answer 15

• density increases down the group
• colour intensity increases down the group
• goes from solid to gas
• melting point and boiling point increases down the group

Question 16

chemical trends of halogens - 1

Answer 16

reactivity decreases down the group

Question 17

uses of flourine

Answer 17

used in toothpaste to prevent tooth decay

uses of chlorine

Answer 18

added in water to kill bacteria

Question 19

physical properties of noble gases - 4

Answer 19

• very low melting and boiling points
  -very low densities
• do not conduct electricity and heat
• exists as monoatomic elements

Question 20

chemical properties of noble gases - 2

Answer 20

• chemically unreactive and stable because they have full valence electrons
• helium has a duplet structure while the rest have a oclet structure

Question 21

uses of helium

Answer 21

used to fill helium balloons

Question 22

uses of neon

Answer 22

used to fill advertising lights

Question 23

uses of argon

Answer 23

used to fill normal light bulbs as it prevent the oxidation of steel in the light bulb

Answer 24

• high melting and boiling point
• high densities
• good conductors of electricity and heat
• ductile and malleable

Question 25

chemical properties of transition metals - 3

Answer 25

• usually make good catalysts
• form coloured compounds
• have variable valencies

Question 26

uses of iron

Answer 26

catalyst in habers process

Question 27

uses of nickel

Answer 27

catalyst in hydrogenation of alkenes

Question 28

uses of maganese (IV) oxide

Answer 28

catalyst in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

Question 29

chlorine gas bubled through pottassium iodide solution

Answer 29

colourless solution turns brown
chlorine more reactive than iodine therefore it can displace iodine from pottassium chloride
