How did John Dalton organise elements?
In order of their atomic weights
1 of 27
How did John Newlands organise elements?
In order of mass but noticed the properties of every eighth element seemed similar
2 of 27
How did Mendeleev organise the elements?
Atomic weights and a pattern in properties could be seen.
3 of 27
Why did scientists think Mendeleev's discovery was a scientific breakthrough?
Because he left gaps for elements and predicted their properties. A few years later his predictions closely matched the real elements
4 of 27
What group are the noble gases?
Group 0
5 of 27
What do atoms of metals tend to do?
Lose electrons
6 of 27
What do atoms of non-metals tend to do?
Gain electrons
7 of 27
Why are group 0 gases unreactive?
Because of their electron arrangements
8 of 27
What are group 1 elements called?
Alkali metals
9 of 27
What is the pattern for melting and boiling points in group 1?
It decreases as you go down the group
10 of 27
Why do alkali metals have to be stored in oils?
To stop them from reacting with oxygen in the air
11 of 27
Why does the shiny silvery surface of an alkali metal turn dull when mixed in air?
It is oxidising with the oxygen in the air
12 of 27
Why are alkali metals really reactive?
They have one electron they want to get rid of
13 of 27
When you add an alkali metal to water why does it float and fizz?
Because the metal reacts with water to form hydrogen gas
14 of 27
What forms when alkali metals react with water?
H+ ions to make ionic compounds. These are generally white and dissolve in water, giving colourless solutions
15 of 27
What are group 7 elements called?
Halogens
16 of 27
What is the pattern for mp and bp in halogens?
Increase as you go down the group
17 of 27
What is the pattern for reactivity in halogens?
They get less reactive as you go down the group
18 of 27
What will a more reactive halogen do to a less reactive halogen?
Displace it from solutions of its salts
19 of 27
The number of shells increases as you go down the periodic table, what effects does this have?
Larger atoms lose electrons more easily, larger atoms gain electrons less easily
20 of 27
What does the electrostatic attraction depend upon?
Distance between outer electrons and nucleus, No of shells and size of positive charge
21 of 27
What are transition metals?
Metals in the middle of the periodic table
22 of 27
Name 4 physical properties of a transition metal
Good conductors, hard and strong, high densities and high melting points (apart from Mercury)
23 of 27
How reactive are transition metals?
Less reactive than group 1
24 of 27
Why are transition metals important in the industry?
They can be used as catalysts
25 of 27
Do transition metals react vigorously with oxygen or water?
No
26 of 27
What can a transition metal form?
Ions with different charges, in compounds that are coloured
