Precipitation reactions
When 2 solution mix to form an insoluble solid, tis happens between 2 ionic compounds (soluble + insoluble) in solution, the precipitate falls out of the solution as a solid.
Properties of alkaline earth
Hotter metal in room temp, middle conductivity and density, ionic form is +2 (group 2)
Properties of transition metal
Can from different oxidation state, high conductivity and density, has high melting point
Properties of halogens
Nonmetal element, in room temp gas is fluorine and chlorine, liquid is bromine, solid is iodine and Antonine, (group 17.)
Electron configuration
How electrons are arranged in orbitals around an atoms nucleus and determines how it’ll interact with other atoms, atoms are also most stable with full outer shell (8)
What is ionic bonding
Metal loses an electrons and becomes an cation (negative ion), nonmetals gain electron to become an anion (negative ion), the opposite charges attract and ionic bonds form
Covalent bonding
Atoms share electrons to fill their outer shells
Exothermic reaction
Energy is released to surroundings by heat or light, the surroundings becomes hotter
Endothermic reaction
Energy is absorbed form the surroundings, surroundings become cooler
Oxidation corrosion
When a substance is reacting to oxygen, it has a slow reaction with oxygen and water, mainly happens to metals like iron, forms a new compound which is rust.
Oxidation combustion
When a substance reacts to oxygen, has a fast reaction with oxygen, produces heat, light, Co2, and H2o.
Ions
Charged atoms due to the sharing of electrons (gain or lose)
Displacement reaction
Chemical reaction that pushes out the metal that is the least reactive and replaces it with more reactive metal.
Period
Number of energy shells (and is the horizontal row on periodic table)
Atomic radius
Size of atom according to period (number of energy shells)
Groups
Number of electron in outermost shell
Reactivity
The stability of atoms (2,8,8 is a full valence shell)
Difference between trend and period
Period is horizontal row, whilst trends are the repeating patterns of properties across groups
Properties of alkali metals
Soft metals in solid forms, low conductivity and density, and ionic form is +1 (group 1)
Properties of metallic elements
Bellow metalloids on periodic table, most are soft and brittle with poor mechanical strength, has lower melting point from groups 3-12
Properties of metalloids
Above metallic elements on periodic table, chemical and physical properties mix between metal and nonmetal
Bonding happens because
Atoms want to achieve full outer shell to become stable, they do this by transferring or sharing electrons and they all occur between metal and nonmetal
