---|---|---|---|
Relative atomic mass is the comparison of an atom's mass to []'s (the []est) | hydrogen's--lightest--. | ||
In a periodic table, a [] of elements is a vertical column | group--. | ||
The elements in a group in the periodic table have similar | properties. For example, group 1 contains sodium and other very reactive []s while group 7 contains lithium and other very reactive []-[]s | metals-- non-metals--. | |
A row of element in the periodic table is called a | period. | ||
Chemical symbol for lithium: | Li | ||
Chemical symbol for sodium: | Na. | ||
Chemical symbol for potassium: | K. | ||
When alkali metals are freshly cut they are | shiny, but they tarnish rapidly in []t []r due to reaction with [] | moist air--oxygen--. | |
Lithium, sodium and potassium all react vigorously with [] and [] | air and water. | ||
Alkali metals react with water to form [] gas and an [] solution of a [] | hydrogen--alkaline--hydroxide--; the formula is given as H+M[] where M represents a group [] metal | OH--1--. | |
The group 1 metals are refered to as | alkali metals | ||
A[] []s vigorously react with chlorine to form []less, []ine s[]s with the formula [] | Alkali metals--colourless, crystalline salts--MCl--. | ||
The shiny surface of sodium tarnishes []er than that of lithium, while sodium tarnishes [] than potassium; | quicker--slower; this shows the increasing []ty of the metals as we go down the group | reactivity--. | |
Because, the alkali metals are so []e, care has to be taken when using them | reactive--. They must not be t[]ed as they will react with [] in [] on the [] | touched--water--sweat--skin--. G[]es may be used and g[]s should be worn | gloves--goggles--. |
The group 7 elements are also known as the | halogens. | ||
Chemical symbol of chlorine: | Cl. | ||
Chemical symbol of bromine: | Br. | ||
Chemical symbol of iodine: | I. | ||
The halogens consist of []c molecules | diatomic--. | ||
As you go down the group, halogens become [] reactive | less. Flourine, at the top of the group, is the most reactive halogen. It is very dangerous and can cause severe chemical b[]s on contact with skin. | burns--. | |
The relative reactivity of halogens can be shown by looking at [] reactions | displacement--. | ||
|Displacement Reactions| When chorine (gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the [] takes the place of the [] because its more [] and displaces [] from the [] []. | chlorine--bromine--reactive--bromine--sodium bromide--. The solution turns brown, the brown colour being the []d []. The chlorine has gone to form [] [] | displace bromine--sodium chloride--. chlorine + sodium bromide --> | sodium chloride + bromine. |
Halogens are very []e and p[], hence care must be taken | reactive--poisonous--. Chlorine is used only in a []e []d, iodine should not be handled as it wil damage the []; g[]s may be used, and g[]s should be worn | fume cupboard--skin--gloves--goggles--. | |
The state symbol (s) means | solid. | ||
The state symbol (l) means | liquid. | ||
The state symbol (g) means | gas. | ||
The state symbol (aq) means | aqueous (dissolved in water). | ||
An atom is a composition of protons and neutrons in a very small central [] and electrons arranged in []s around the nucleus | nucleus--shells--. | ||
Protons and neutrons have the same m[], which is about [] times larger than an electron's. | mass--2000--. An electron's mass is generally taken as 0 for being neglible. | ||
The elements in the periodic table are arranged according to the their [] number | atomic--. | ||
All the atoms of the same element have the same number of p[] | protons. The number of protons will be equal to the number of []s | electrons--. | |
Some elements emit distinctive []e colours when []ed | flame--heated--, e.g. l[]um, s[]um and p[]um | lithium, sodium and potassium. | |
The light emitted from a particular element gives a characteristic [] s[] | line spectrum. | ||
Scientists have used line spectra to discover new e[]ts. In fact the discovery of some elements, such as the r[]dium and c[]ium, owuld not have been possible if not of spectroscopy | elements--rubidium--caesium--. The element helium was discovered by studying line spectra emitted by the [] | Sun. | |
The discovery of some elements depended on the development of new []cal t[]s | practical techniques-- e.g. s[]opy | spectroscopy--. | |
Electrons are contained in s[]s around the []s, also called []y l[]s | shells--nucleus--energy levels. A shell (or [] level) fills with electrons across a [] | energy--period-- (thus elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, this number being the group number). | |
Elements in the same [] have the same number of electrons in their outer shell and this number is the [] number | group--group--. | ||
When lithium is added to water it []s, f[]ing steadily and becomes []er until it eventually d[]rs | floats--fizzing--smaller--dissappears--. | ||
Protons has a relative mass of [] unit(s), while neutrons have one of [] unit(s) | 1--1--. The relative atomic mass is thus the number of [] + number of [] | protons--neutrons--. | |
The relative atomic mass - number of protons = | number of neutrons. Atomic number = number of []s = number of []s | protons--electrons--. | |
Molten (i.e. melted) compounds of metals with non-metals c[] electricity, which is eevidence that they are mde up of []ed particles called []s | conduct--charged--ions--. | ||
An ion is an [] (or group of []s) which has gained or lost []s and thus has an overall []e | atom--atoms--electrons--charge. | ||
The alkali metals (group 1) form ionic compounds when they react with []-[]s; their ions have a []ive charge of [] | non-metals --positive--1--. For example, sodium forms sodium ions, Na^[] (M^n+ has n electrons [] than an a[] its type) | +--less--atom--. | |
The halogens (group 7) form ionic compounds when they react with []s; their ions have a []ive charge of [] | metals --negative--1--. For example, chlorine forms chlorine ions, Cl^[] (M^n- has n electrons [] than an a[] its type) | - --more--atom--. | |
If one knows the charges on the ions in an []ic c[]d, one can work out its formula | ionic--compound--. To do so, simply balance b[]e the positive and negative []es: e.g. calcium has ion Ca^2+ while chlorine has ion Cl^-, meaning the formula is [] | balance--charges--CaCl2[ss]--. | |
If one has the formula of an []ic c[]d and the charge of one of the two ions, one can work out the charge of the other ion | ionic--compound--. To do so, simply look at what b[]es the c[]es: eg. take Na2O, knowing a sodium ion is Na^+ - the oxygen ion must be [] | balaces--charges-- O^2- --. | |
As group 7 elements are non-metals, the compounds of halogens with alkali metals are []ic | ionic--. | ||
Solid ionic compounds form c[]s because ions are arrange in a r[]r l[]e | crystals--regular--lattice--. | ||
[] ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as the ions are held firmly in []ce; they cannot [] to conduct the electric current | solid--place--move--. | ||
When an ionic compound melts, the charged ions are free to [] independently in the liquid, meaning that []en ions do [] electricity | move--molten--conduct--. | ||
When a crystal of an ionic compound dissolves, the ions s[]e, meaning that the ions are free to [] inependently in the liquid, so a solution of an ionic compound in water []s electricity | separate-moves--conducts--. | ||
=Line spectra= All atoms give off []t when heated, although sometimes this light is not visible to the human eye. | light--.A p[]sm is used to s[]t the light to form a s[], and each element has a distinctive l[] s[] [#b4#] | ||
