23
Q

how are group 1 (alkali metals) stored

A

under oil to prevent reaction with oxygen and moisture in air

24
Q

what is the trend going down group 1 and why

A

reactivity increases - the outer shell electron is lost more rapidly because of the increasing distance of the electron
melting point decreases

25
general word equation for group 1 elements with water
metal + water--> metal hydroxide + hydrogen
26
name two ways we can reduce the risks when using group 1 elements
- safety screen - metal handled with tweezers
27
what happens to lithium when it reacts with water
- floats and moves - fizzes - disappears - releases heat - colourless solution formed
28
what is the equation for Lithium reacting with water
2Li + 2H2O --> 2LiOH + H2
29
what observations are observed when Sodium (Na) reacts with water
metal floats, moves on surface, bubbles of gas, heat released, Na melts and forms ball, Na disappears, colourless solution forms
30
what is the equation for sodium reacting with water
2Na + 2H2O ---> 2NAOH + H2
31
what observations are observed when Potassium (K) reacts with water
metal floats, moves on surface, burns with lilac flame, heat released, bubbles of gas, K disappears, colourless solution forms
32
what is the equation for potassium reacting with water
2K + 2H20 --> 2KOH + H2
33
properties of group 7 (the halogens)
- most reactive non metals - all diatomic molecules - all react with group 1 to form solid, white, ionic compounds - don't conduct electricity - have 7 electrons in their outer shell - have a valency of 1
34
trend going down group 7
- reactivity decreases - size atom increases - harder to gain electron
35
name the colour and state of fluorine at room temp and pressure
yellow gas
36
name the colour and state of chlorine at room temp and pressure
yellow-green gas
37
name the colour and state of bromine at room temp and pressure
red-brown liquid
38
name the colour and state of iodine at room temp and pressure
grey-black solid
39
what happens when you heat iodine
grey black solid changes to purple vapour then to grey-black crystals on cooling - sublimation
40
how do you test for chlorine gas
using damp universal indicator paper which changes to red then bleaches white if there's chlorine gas
41
What does a more reactive halogen do to a less reactive halogen in an aqueous solution?
A more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive halogen from its salt solution.
42
What charge does a stable halogen ion have?
A single negative charge.
43
what does aquias mean
mixed with water
44
what happens when iodine or bromine (halogens) is mixed with sodium chloride solution
no reaction
45
what happens when sodium bromide solution is mixed with chlorine
colourless solution turns orange
46
what happens when sodium bromide solution is mixed with iodine
no reaction
47
what happens when sodium iodide solution is mixed with chlorine or bromine
colourless solution turns brown
48
What trend in reactivity is observed in group 7 halogens?
Reactivity decreases going down group 7.
49
What does a more reactive halogen do to a less reactive halogen in an aqueous solution?
A more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive halogen from its salt solution.
50
Why do halogens have similar chemical properties?
Because when they react, an atom gains one electron to form a negative ion (anion) with a full outer shell of electrons.
51
What charge does a stable halogen ion have?
A single negative charge.
52
properties of group 0 elements (noble gases)
- unreactive non metals because of their full outer shell of electrons - colourless gas at room temp - boiling point increases down group
53
properties of transition metals
- high melting points - high density - less reactive with water than group1 - can form ions - often coloured
54
what colour is copper (II) oxide
black
55
what colour is copper (II) salts usually
usually blue in solution
55
what colour is copper (II) carbonate
green
56
what colour is hydrated copper (II) sulfate
blue
