how did newland organise the periodic table
arranged the elements in terms of atomic weight
how did mendeleev organise the periodic table
he arranged elements in terms or atomic mass he left gaps for elements that hadnt been discovered yet
why did mendeleev leave gaps in the periodic table
so elements with similar properties can be in the same vertical comumns
how is the mordern periodic table organised
in terms of atomic number
elements in the same group have the same amount electrons on the outer shell
what are the properties of the elements in group 1 (alkali metal)
low density metals
react with non metals to form ionic compounds
react with water releasing hydrogen
forms hydroxides that dissolve in water to give alkaline solutions
what are the properties of the elements in group 7 (halogens)
react with metals to form ionic compounds
further down the group the less reactive the element
high melting and boiling points
how is water made hard
rain water dissolves compounds like magnesium sulphate and calcium sulphate as the water runs over rocks
how can hard water be made soft
adding sodium carbonate - reacts with calcium and magnesium
ion exchange columns - contains hydrogen or sodium ions which replace calcium and magnesium
what colour flame does lithium compounds make
crimson flame
what colour flame does sodium compounds make
yellow
what colour flame does poassuim compounds make
lilac
what colour flame does calcium compounds make
red
what colour flame does barium compounds make
green
what colour precipitate does copper form with sodium hydroxide
blue
what colour precipitate does iron 2 form with sodium hydroxide
green
