Difference between Mendeleev’s table and the modern periodic tabele
Mendeleev:
Arranged the elements in order of atomic weight
No noble gases present
Gaps were left for undiscovered elements
no block of transition metals
Actinides and lanthanides not present
Modern:
Arranged the elements in order of atomic number
noble gases present
block of transition metals
Actinides and lanthanides present
Differences between the properties of metals and non-metals:
Metals:
High Melting and boiling point
malleable
ductile
sonorous
good conductors of heat/electricity
Non-Metals:
low Melting and boiling point ( except graphite and diamond)
not malleable
not ductile
not sonorous
poor conductors of heat/electricity
What is a Displacement reaction and its ionic equation?
Ionic equation: The two metals that get displaced eg
Mg(s) + Cu2+ (aq) —> Mg2+(aq) + Cu
What is a Neutralisation reaction and its ionic equation?
An Acid and A base react to create a salt with a neutral pH of & and water
Ionic equation:
0H- (aq) + H+(aq) —-> H2O (I)
What is a Precipitation reaction and its ionic equation example?
When two aqueous solution react to form an insoluble solid
Ionic equation: Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq) —> BaSO4 (S)
what is this reaction called and what does it equal?
alkali metal + oxygen = ?
Alkali Metal Oxide
What are the properties of Group 1 metals?
Are metals with low density
Lithium, Sodium and Potassium are less dense than water and float on its surface.
Have low melting and boiling points
They are stored in oil as they tarnish rapidly in air
Are soft enough to be cut by a knife
Shiny when freshly cut but rapidly tarnish in air
React rapidly with water and form an alkaline solution alkaline and Hydrogen gas.
Alkali metal + Water
alkali metal hydroxide + Hydrogen
What can you do when risk assessing for the reaction of alkali metals and water?
Use tweezers to lift the metals to prevent handling the metal directly as it could react with water in the skin
Use a safety screen as this prevents corrosive hydroxide solution from splashing out and causing damage tot the skin
