atomic structure and the periodic table (paper 1) Flashcards
chemical properties in group one metals
react with non metals to form compounds
very reactive
only forms ions with a 1+ charge
react with oxygen quickly
react with water vigorously
react with halogens easily
physical properties of group one metals
good thermal conductors
good electrical conductors
shiny and silver
low melting and boiling points
low densities
not as strong,soft
chemical properties of transition metals
react with non metals to form compounds
can form coloured compounds
not very reactive
forms ions with different charges
react with oxygen slowly
react with water slowly
react with halogens slowly
used as catalysts
physical properties of transition metals
good thermal conductors
good electrical conductors
high melting and boiling points
high densities
strong and hard
formula for atom economy
relative formula mass of desired product
———————————————— X100
the sum of relative formula masses of
all reactants
what is atom economy
a measure of the amount of starting materials that end up as useful products
when there is only one product we have 100% atom economy
why are group 0 elements not reactive
because they have a full outer shell
what is an isotope
atoms of the same element with the same no. of protons and electrons but a different no. of neutrons
what happens to the melting and boiling points as you go down in group seven
they increase
what are the halogens
a group of poisonous non metals
what happens to group 1 metals boiling and melting points as you go down the group
they decrease
why are alkali metals called that
the metal hydroxide they produce is alkaline and turns universal indicator purple
what does a metal and water produce when reacted
metal hydroxide + hydrogen
conclusions from alpha particle experiment
atoms must be mostly empty space ( most particles passed through)
must be a central concentration of mass, a nucleus (some particles bounced back)
the nucleus most have a positive charge (particles were deflected)
group zero name
noble gases
they get more reactive as you go down
group one name
alkali metals
they increase in reactivity as you go down
relative atomic mass formula
(isotope 1 x abundance) + (isotope 2 x abundance)

solvent
the liquid that the solid is dissolved into
solute
a solid which can dissolve
