Front (Question)

What is the periodic table a method of?

Back (Answer)

method of classifying elements and its use to predict properties of elements

Front (Question)

What is the change from metallic to non-metallic character across a period?

Back (Answer)

Metallic character decreases

Front (Question)

How is the number of occupied shells determined?

Back (Answer)

determined by the period number

Front (Question)

How is the number of valence electrons determined?

Back (Answer)

determined by the group number

Front (Question)

What are the physical properties of Group I Metals? (3)

Back (Answer)

Soft Grey, shiny when cut quickly tarnishes Relatively low mp and bp + density

Front (Question)

What is the chemical trend in Group I Metals?

Back (Answer)

gets more reactive as you go down the group

Front (Question)

What are the physical trends in Group I Metals? (2)

Back (Answer)

gets softer and lower mp and bp as you go down the group density of metals increase as you go down group

Front (Question)

What is produced when alkali metals react with water?

Back (Answer)

alkali metal + water => metal hydroxide + hydrogen

Front (Question)

What are the physical properties of Halogens? (4)

Back (Answer)

poisonous/strong smell, coloured, poor conductors, non metals

#10

Front (Question)

What are the physical trends in Halogens? (2)

Back (Answer)

gets a darker colour and higher mp and bp as you go down the group

#11

Front (Question)

What is the chemical trend in Halogens? (2)

Back (Answer)

gets less reactive as you go down the group

#12

Front (Question)

What is halide displacement?

Back (Answer)

when a more reactive halogen displaces a less reactive halogen from an ionic compound.

#13

Front (Question)

What are the properties of transition metals? (5)

Back (Answer)

Hard and strong High density High mp and bp Coloured compounds Have more than once valency

#14

Front (Question)

What is monoatomic?

Back (Answer)

exist as single atom

#15

Front (Question)

What is diatomic?

Back (Answer)

exist as a two atom molecule

#16

Front (Question)

F₂ appearance

Back (Answer)

pale yellow gas

#17

Front (Question)

Cl₂ appearance

Back (Answer)

pale green gas

#18

Front (Question)

Br₂ appearance

Back (Answer)

red-brown liquid

#19

Front (Question)

I₂ appearance

Back (Answer)

grey solid (with purple vapour)

#20

Front (Question)

What are noble gas properties?

Back (Answer)

unreactive monoatomic gases

#21

Front (Question)

Noble gases are used to provide an __ atmosphere

Back (Answer)

inert

#22

Front (Question)

use of argon + property

Back (Answer)

the gas inside light bulbs inert so doesn’t react at high temperatures

#23

Front (Question)

use of helium + property

Back (Answer)

the gas inside balloons low density so floats in air
