#1
Front (Question)

What are the vertical columns called in the Periodic Table

Back (Answer)

groups

#2
Front (Question)

What are the rows called in the Periodic Table

Back (Answer)

periods

#3
Front (Question)

Why do elements in the same group have the same properties

Back (Answer)

as elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell

#4
Front (Question)

Give the names of the following groups: Group 1 Group 7 Group 0

Back (Answer)

Group 1- alkali metals Group 7- halogens Group 0- noble gases

#5
Front (Question)

Why do the noble gases (Group 0) not readily react

Back (Answer)

as they have a full outer shell of electrons, meaning they do not need to give up or receive any electrons

#6
Front (Question)

What are ions

Back (Answer)

charged particles

#7
Front (Question)

Why do atoms lose/ gain electrons

Back (Answer)

to form ions as they are trying to get a full outer shell as atoms with a full outer shell are very stable

#8
Front (Question)

What are negative ions and when do they form

Back (Answer)

anions -form when atoms gain electrons

#9
Front (Question)

What are positive ions and when do they form

Back (Answer)

cations -form when atoms lose electrons

#10
Front (Question)

What are the charges for metals in Groups 1, 2, 3

Back (Answer)

-lose electrons to form positive ions so: Group 1 elements form 1+ ions Group 2 elements form 2+ ions Group 3 elements form 3+ ions

#11
Front (Question)

What are the charges for non-metals in Groups 5, 6, 7

Back (Answer)

-non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions so: Group 5 elements form 3- ions Group 6 elements form 2- ions Group 7 elements form 1- ions

#12
Front (Question)

Name 6 ions and there charges that go against the normal

Back (Answer)

Ag+ Cu2+ Fe2+ Fe3+ Pb2+ Zn2+

#13
Front (Question)

Name 6 elements and there charges that go against the normal idea

Back (Answer)

Hydrogen (H+), hydroxide (OH–), ammonium (NH4+), carbonate (CO32–), nitrate (NO3-) sulfate (SO42–).

#14
Front (Question)

What does ionic bonding involve

Back (Answer)

a metal and a non-metal

#15
Front (Question)

Describe ionic bonding in terms of electrostatic attractions

Back (Answer)

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

#16
Front (Question)

Why do compounds with giant ionic lattices have high melting and boiling points

Back (Answer)

• ions are held together in a closely packed 3D lattice arrangement by the attraction between oppositely charged ions • the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong • as a result of this a lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong attraction • hence why ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point

#17
Front (Question)

When can ionic compounds conduct electricity

Back (Answer)

• conduct electricity when molten and in aqueous solution -can’t conduct electricity when solid

#18
Front (Question)

Name the 3 physical properties of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

• high melting point • high boiling point • can conduct electricity when molten or when dissolved in water

#19
Front (Question)

What do compounds with ionic bonding always have

Back (Answer)

giant ionic structure

#20
Front (Question)

What diagram is used to show the transfer of electrons in ionic bondidng

Back (Answer)

A dot and cross diagram

#21
Front (Question)

Describe covalent bonding in terms of electrostatic attractions

Back (Answer)

Covalent bonding is the electrostatic attraction between negatively charged shared electrons

#22
Front (Question)

What is a covalent bond

Back (Answer)

A shared pair of electrons

#23
Front (Question)

Why are substances with a simple molecular structure gases or liquids, or solids with low melting and boiling points

Back (Answer)

• atoms within a molecule are held together by very strong covalent bonds • the molecular forces of attraction between the molecules are very weak • therefore the melting and boiling point for simple molecular substances are very low as the molecules are easily separated

#24
Front (Question)

explain why the melting and boiling points of substances with simple molecular structures increase, in general, with increasing relative molecular mass

Back (Answer)

• intermolecular forces are stronger between molecules with high relative molecular mass (Mr) than between smaller molecules • as there are more points along larger molecules for intermolecular forces to act between them • so more energy is needed to break the forces • due to increasing strength of the forces, melting and boiling pints of simple molecular substances increase as the relative molecular mass increases
