Card preview (15)
What happens to the atomic radius, melting point, ionisation energy and reactivity in group 2?
Atomic radius - increases going down melting point - decreases going down ionisation energy - decreases going down reactivity - increases going down
Hydroxides and sulfates (solubility)
for HYDROXIDES Mg(OH)2 and going down solubility INCREASES for SULFATES MgSO4 and going down solubility DECREASES
Use of Mg(OH)2
medicine/indigestion
Use of Ca(OH)2
Agriculture
Use of BaSO4
good for absorbing X - rays.
Testing for SO42- ions
Add BaCl2 White ppt if ions present
What happens to the electronegativity, melting and boiling points in group 7?
electronegativity - decreases going down melting and boiling points - increases going down
Halogens act as…
oxidising agents F- (strongest) to I- (weakest)
Halide ions act as…
reducing agents I- (strongest) to F- (weakest)

Uses of chlorine in water
DISPROPRTIONATION REACTION Cl2(g) + H2O(l) <–> HClO(aq) + HCl(aq) treats water, in swimming pool HClO is an oxidising agent used in bleach
