1
Q

How and when developed the first periodic table ?

A

Dmitri Mendeleev in 1896

2
Q

What were the features of Mendeleev’s periodic table ?

A
  • left gaps for undiscovered elements

- listed the elements in increasing atomic weight

3
Q

How do todays periodic table differ from Mendeleev’s ?

A
  • Mendeleev’s had no noble gases
  • gaps were left in his
  • no block of transition metals in Mendeleev’s
  • actinides and lanthanides not present in Mendeleev’s
4
Q

What does the staircase line on the periodic table separate ?

A

The metals and the non-metals

5
Q

What two elements are liquids and describe their appearance .

A

Bromine: red-brown liquid
Mercury: silvery-white liquid

6
Q

What is a group ?

A

A group is a vertical column in the periodic table

7
Q

What do all elements in the same group have in common ?

A
  • similar chemical properties

- same number of electrons in their outer shell

8
Q

What is the name of group 1 ?

A

alkali metals , reactive

9
Q

What is the name of group 2 ?

A

alkaline earth metals , reactive

10
Q

What is the name of group 7 ?

A

Halogens, reactive

11
Q

What is the name of group 8 ?

A

noble gases, unreactive

12
Q

What is a period ?

A

A period is a horizontal row in the periodic table

13
Q

What are the physical properties of group 1 metals ?

A
  • soft
  • shiny
  • low density
  • grey solids
  • low melting points
14
Q

What is the equation shown when a group 1 metal reacts with water ?

A

Group 1 metal + water —-> metal hydroxide + hydrogen

15
Q

What are the risk assessments when using group 1 metals ?

A
  • use tweezers
  • use a safety screen
  • wear safety glasses
  • use small pieces of metal
16
Q

What are the observations when lithium reacts with water ?

A
  • moves on surface
  • bubbles
  • heat released
  • disappears
17
Q

What are the observations when sodium reacts with water ?

A
  • moves on surface
  • bubbles
  • heat released
  • disappears
18
Q

What are the observations when potassium reacts with water ?

A
  • lilac flame
  • moves on surface
  • bubbles
  • heat released
  • disappears quickly
  • crackles at end
19
Q

What is the general half equation for a group one metal reaction ?

A

Group 1 metal atom —-> Group 1 metal ion + electron

20
Q

Why does the reactivity of group 1 metals increase as you go down the group ?

A

The atom they need to lose becomes further away from the nucleus and is therefore easier to lose.

21
Q

What are the physical properties of the halogens ?

A
Fluorine : yellow gas
Chlorine: yellow-green gas
Bromine: red-brown liquid
Iodine: grey-black solid
Astatine : - -
22
Q

What is the trend of the halogens as they go down the group ?

A
  • elements become darker
  • change from a gas to liquid to solid
  • increase in melting point
23
Q

Explain toxicity regarding the halogens.

A

All the halogens are toxic, although toxicity decreases down the group.

24
Q

What is sublimation ?

A

sublimation is the change of state from solid directly to gas on heating.

25
Q

What happens if you heat iodine ?

A

it undergoes sublimation

26
Q

What is the general half equation for group 7 atoms ?

A

halogen atom + 1 electron —> halide ion

27
Q

What is the general half equation for a group 7 molecule ?

A

halogen molecule + 2 electrons – > 2 halide ions

28
Q

What is the trend of reactivity of group 7 ?

A

As the group descends the reactivity decreases

29
Q

Explain displacement reactions.

A

In a displacement reaction the more reactive halogen is added to the halide solution.

30
Q

Give an example word equation for a displacement reaction

A

chlorine+potassium iodide -> iodine + potassium chloride

31

A

no reaction occurs with any of them

37
Q

What is the test for chlorine ?

Q

What happens to the boiling point as you go down Group 0 ?
