Q

What is valency and how is it determined

A

Valency is the number of atoms of a particular element that is combined with one atom of another element to form a molecule..The valency of an element is determined by the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

25
Reactivity non the periodic table
Decreases going down with the exception of alkali metals increasing down Increases going across
26
Ionization energy on the periodic table
Decreases going down and increases going left to right
27
Radius on the periodic table
Increases going down and decreases going left to right
28
Physical properties of metals
lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity
29
Physical properties of Non-metals
They aren't shiny (lustrous) and they don't conduct heat or electricity well
30
Physical properties of Metalloids
Metalloids are solids. Metalloids have low elasticity. They are brittle. They are semi-conductive (semi-conductors). They have average heat conductivity. They are ductile. They are malleable.
31
Properties of alkali metals going down (Melting point, boiling point, reactivity, metallic character, atomic radius)
Melting point- decreases Boiling Point- decrease Reactivity- Increase Metallic Character- Increases Atomic Radius- Increases
32
Physical Properties of Alkali metals and what group
Group 1 The alkali metals have the high thermal and electrical conductivity, lustre, ductility, and malleability that are characteristic of metals. Each alkali metal atom has a single electron in its outermost shell. This valence electron is much more weakly bound than those in inner shells.
33
Properties of halogens going down (Melting point, boiling point, reactivity, metallic character, atomic radius)
Melting point- Increases Boiling Point- Increase Reactivity- decrease Metallic Character- Increases Atomic Radius- Increases
34
Physical Properties of Halogens and what group
Group 7 They all form acids when combined with hydrogen. They are all fairly toxic. They readily combine with metals to form salts. They have seven valence electrons in their outer shell. They are highly reactive and electronegative.
35
Properties of alkaline earth metals going down (Melting point, boiling point, reactivity, metallic character, atomic radius)
Melting point- decreases Boiling Point- decrease Reactivity- Increase Metallic Character- Increases Atomic Radius- Increases
36
Physical properties of Alkaline earth metals and what group
Group 2 The alkaline earth metals are the second most reactive family of elements. Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium are all shiny, and silvery-white. They all have low densities, melting points and boiling points, and they tend to form solutions with a pH greater than 7.
37
Properties of Non-metals going down
Melting point- Increases Boiling Point- Increase Reactivity- Decrease Metallic Character- Increases Atomic Radius- Increases
38
Properties of Noble Gases going down (Melting point, boiling point, reactivity, metallic character, atomic radius)
Melting point- Increases Boiling Point- Increase Reactivity- Decreases Metallic Character- Increases Atomic Radius- Increases
39
Physical properties of Noble Gases and what group
Group 8 Noble gases are odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and monotonic gases that have low chemical reactivity. The full valence electron shells of these atoms make noble gases extremely stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds because they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons
40
Atomic radius on the periodic table
generally decreases from left to right because of increasing nuclear charge increases moving up and down due to increasing number of electron shells

Combination reaction and general formula
Two or more reactants combine to form one compound A + B → AB
50
Decomposition reaction and general formula
A complex molecule breaks down to make a simpler one AB → A + B
51
Precipitation reaction and general formula
Two solutions of soluble salts are mixed resulting in an insoluble solid (precipitate) Soluble salt A +Soluble Salt B → Precipitate + Soluble salt C
52
Neutralization reaction and general formula
An acid and a base react with each other generally the product of this is salt and water Acid + Base → Salt +Water
53
Combustion reaction and general formula + Examples ( Endo or Exo )
Oxygen combines with a compound to form carbon dioxide and water. these reactions are exothermic meaning they give of thermal energy A + O2 → H2o + CO2 burning coal
54
Displacement reaction and general formula
One element takes place with another element in the compound A + BC → AC + B
55
Acid reaction and general formula
React with most metals to form a salt and hydrogen gas Mg + HCl → Mgcl2 + H2
56
Corrosion Reaction ( Endo or Exo )
Most metals will combine with oxygen in the air to form metal oxides.
57
Respiration ( Endo or Exo )
Respiration is the chemical reaction that goes on inside the cells of all living things.
58
What is an exothermic reaction + Example + Hot or cold and why
Gives of energy to its surroundings by forming bonds Rusting, freezing and condensation
59
What is an endothermic reaction + Example + Hot or cold and why
Takes in energy from surroundings by breaking bonds Photosynthesis, boiling, melting. Feels cold as thermal energy is taken in
60
Speed of a chemical reaction
amount of reactant used/product formed x time
61
What are the 5 factors that influence rate of reaction and why
temperature agitation surface area concentration catalysts
62
How does temperature affect reaction rate
Higher temperature increases the speed of particle movement and this leads to more collisions between reacting particles. Higher temperature increases the energy of collision, meaning chemical bonds can be broken.
63
How does catalysts affect reaction rate
It lowers the activation energy of reactions
64
Whats is collision theory
In order for a reaction to occur the particles must have enough energy and must collide at the correct angle ( proper orientation)
65
Effect of surface area on reaction rate
The increased surface means more area is in contact with the reactants around it, leading to more effective collisions between reactants and a higher reaction rate.
66
Effect of concentration on reaction rate
Increasing the concentration means more particles are able to collide and react, so the reaction rate increases.
67
How does agitation effect reaction rate
Agitation keeps reacting particles in contact with each other by removing the products of the reaction and allowing more reactants to mix.

81
reactivity in teh periodic
an element's ability to ionize (gain or lose electrons) or share electrons
82
Electronegativity + On the periodic table
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself. Increases left to right Decreases top to bottom
83
Thermal Decomposition
Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction that happens when a compound breaks down when heated. Thermal decomposition reactions happen at high temperatures. The reactants absorb lots of energy as they break down into the products. Thermal decomposition reactions are examples of endothermic reactions, and are useful when cooking and baking cakes.
84
Redox Reaction
An oxidation–reduction or redox reaction is a reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between chemical species
