Study Notes
- Elements are organized into groups (vertical columns) and periods (horizontal rows) on the periodic table.
- Groups indicate the number of valence electrons, influencing chemical properties.
- Periods reflect the number of electron shells in an atom.
- Mass number (protons + neutrons) and atomic number (protons) define an element.
- Number of protons equals the atomic number.
- In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
- Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number.
- Mendeleev arranged elements by atomic mass, predicting properties of undiscovered elements and leaving gaps for them in the periodic table.
- Group 1: Alkali metals.
- Group 2: Alkaline earth metals.
- Group 7: Halogens.
- Group 8 (Group 0): Noble gases.
- Transition metals are located in the central block of the periodic table.
- Group 1 metals react vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and metal hydroxides, making the solution alkaline.
- Reactivity of Group 1 metals increases down the group because the outer electron is more easily lost due to increased atomic size and shielding.
- Density of Group 1 metals increases down the group, while melting point decreases.
- Fluorine (Fâ‚‚) is a pale yellow gas.
- Chlorine (Clâ‚‚) is a greeny-yellow gas.
- Bromine (Brâ‚‚) is a reddish liquid.
- Iodine (Iâ‚‚) is a dark grey solid.
- Density and melting point of Group 7 elements increase down the group.
- Reactivity of Group 7 elements decreases down the group because it is harder to gain an electron as atomic size increases.
- A more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halogen from its compounds.
- Noble gases become denser down the group.
- Helium and neon are less dense than air.
- Noble gases are unreactive due to their full outer electron shells.
- Helium is used in balloons and cryogenics.
- Neon is used in lighting.
- Argon is used in welding and light bulbs.
- Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings.
- Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings.
- Temperature change can determine if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic.
- Thermal decomposition involves breaking down a compound using heat.
- Compounds with reactive metals are harder to decompose thermally.
- Thermal decomposition is endothermic.
- Combustion is a rapid reaction between a substance and an oxidant, producing heat and light.
- Fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and heat are required for combustion.
- Fire extinguishers remove one or more elements of the fire triangle.
- Combustion is exothermic, and an oxidation reaction.
- Oxidizers include oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine.
- Incomplete combustion occurs with limited oxygen.
- Products of incomplete combustion: carbon monoxide (CO), soot (carbon).
- Carbon monoxide is toxic, odorless, and colorless.
- Neutralization reactions occur between an acid and a base.
- Neutralization in solution is exothermic.
- Neutralization produces salt and water.
- Acid: a substance that donates protons or accepts electrons.
- Base: a substance that accepts protons or donates electrons.
- Acids have a sour taste and can corrode metals, handle with caution, and wear eye protection.
- Bases are slippery and can cause burns, handle with caution, and wear eye protection.
- pH scale ranges from 0-14, indicating acidity or alkalinity.
- Acids have a pH less than 7.
- Bases have a pH greater than 7.
- Water has a pH of 7 (neutral).
- Universal indicator shows different colors at different pH levels, indicating the strength of acids and bases.
- Antacids neutralize excess stomach acid.
