1. What is disproportionation?

  • When one atom both gains and looses electrons in a reaction
  • The action of a powerful reducing agent
  • When one element undergoes both reduction and oxidation in a reaction at the same time
  • A property of halides which decreases in ability down the group

2. What does Mg form on reaction with steam?

  • MgOH + H2
  • Mg(OH)2
  • MgO (s) + H2 (g)
  • It doesn't react as it is the least reactive of the group.

3. How does chlorine react with COLD AQUEOUS alkali?

  • Cl2 + H2O --> HCl + HClO
  • Cl2 + 2NaOH --> 2NaCl + H2O
  • Cl2 + 2NaOH --> NaCl + NaClO + H2O
  • 3Cl2 + 6NaOH --> 5NaCl + NaClO3 + 3H2O

4. Which of these is not a property that decreases down the halogen group?

  • Reactivity
  • Electronegativity
  • Reducing ability
  • Oxidising power

5. What is the definition of the first ionisation energy?

  • The energy required to remove an electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms
  • The energy required to form an ion from one mole of atoms under standard conditions (100kPa and 298k)
  • The energy required to remove an electron from an atom
  • The energy required for one mole of atoms to attract one electron each in the gaseous state
