Q
  1. What contribution did Mendeleev have to the development of the Periodic Table?
A
  • 1869

Q
  1. Why does REACTIVITY INCREASE down group 1 metals?
A

-Wants to lose 1 electron to be a full shell

Increased atom size= outer electron further away from nucleus= more easily lost

21
Q
  1. Why does MELTING/BOILING POINT DECREASE down group 1 metals?
A
  • Increased atom size= increase in distance of ions to delocalised electrons= weaker metallic bond (electromagnetic force is more spread out)
22
Q
  1. What is the reaction between lithium and water like?
A
  • floats on water
  • gently fizzes and gives of hydrogen
  • dissolves= lithium hydroxide
23
Q
  1. What is the reaction between sodium and water like?
A
  • floats on water
  • heat= melts= silvery ball
  • hydrogen given off
  • dissolves= sodium hydroxide
24
Q
  1. What is the reaction between potassium and water like?
A
  • floats on water faster
  • heat= melts= silvery ball
  • hydrogen given off, and ignited to as enough energy= lilac flame
  • dissolves= lithium hydroxide
25
Q
  1. What is formed when alkali metals react with water?
A

-an alkaline solution of a hydroxide of the metal with the formula (M)OH [‘metal’ hydroxide]

26
Q
  1. What are examples of this hydroxide solution?
A
  • lithium hydroxide (LiOH)
  • sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
  • potassium hydroxide (KOH)
27
Q
  1. What happens in the reaction between alkali metals and chlorine?
A

alkali metals react vigorously with chlorine to form colourless, crystalline salts with the formula (M)Cl [‘metal’ chloride]

28
Q
  1. What are examples of colourless crystalline salts produced in the reaction between alkali metals and chlorine?
A
  • lithium chloride (LiCl)
  • sodium chloride (NaCl)
  • potassium chloride (KCl)
29
Q
  1. What happens to the reactivity and properties of alkali metals as the group is descended?
A

-more reactive
Wants to lose 1 electron to be a full shell
Increased atom size= outer electron further away from nucleus= more easily lost

30
Q
  1. What are examples to show that the alkali metals become more reactive as the group is descended?
A

-more violent the reaction between an alkali metal and cold water, the more reactive it is

31
Q
  1. What are the hazard symbols?
A

-explosive, toxic, corrosive, oxidizing, and highly flammable

32
Q
  1. What does EXPLOSIVE mean? What is an example?
A
  • can explode

- e.g. some peroxides

33
Q
  1. What does TOXIC mean? What is an example?
A
  • can cause death if swallowed, breathed in, or absorbed through skin
  • e.g. Hydrogen cyanide
34
Q
  1. What does CORROSIVE mean? What is an example?
A
  • attacks and destroys living tissues, like eyes and skin

- e.g. concentrated sulphuric acid

35
Q
  1. What does OXIDISING mean? What is an example?
A
  • provides oxygen so other materials can burn more

43
Q
  1. What are patterns in Group 7 elements?
A

What happens as you go DOWN the group:
-Become less reactive
Wants to gain 1 electron to be a full shell
Increased atom size= outer electron further away from nucleus= harder to gain

45
Q
  1. What are examples that show that reactivity of halogens decreases as you go down the group?
A
  • reactions with alkali metals become less vigorous down the group
  • reactions with iron become less vigorous down the group
  • displacement reactions shows which elements (ones further up) are more reactive than others
46
Q
  1. What happens in the reaction between a halogen and an alkali metal (to show decreasing reactivity down the group)?
A

-halogen + alkali metal (e.g. lithium, sodium, potassium)= salts called metal halides (e.g. sodium chloride, potassium bromide, lithium iodide)

47
Q
  1. What happens in the reaction between a halogen and iron (to show decreasing reactivity down the group)?
A

-halogen + iron= coloured solids called iron halides

48
Q
  1. What happens in displacement reactions with halogen (to show decreasing reactivity down the group)?
A

-more reactive element from compound displaces less reactive element (pushes it out)

49
Q
  1. What are the necessary precautions when working with the halogens?
A
  • don’t get in body as chlorine+ iodine= toxic
  • careful with fluorine as is most reactive
