Periodicity
AQA A Level Chemistry
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is periodicity | Patterns that recur at regular intervals |
Why do we group elements in the periodic table? | Because they have similar properties |
In what order are the elements of the periodic table arranged? | Increasing atomic number |
Which groups can be classed as s block? | Gp 1+2 |
Which group can be classed as d block? | Transition metals |
Which groups can be classed as p block? | groups 3-7+0 |
Which group can be clased as f block? | lanthanides |
How do you determine whether an element is in an s,p,d/f block? | Depending on which subshell electrons are being added to |
Which energy level are the outer electronsin, in period 3 elements? | 3rd |
Why is sodium described as an s block element? | It is in the s block because the last orbitals to be filled are s orbitals. |
In which block are the transition metals? | d block |
Which groups are in the s block? | groups 1 and 2 |
Define first ionisation energy | The removal of 1 mol of electrons from 1 mol of gaseous atoms. |
Write the equation to show the first ionisation of lithium | Li₍g₎ →Li⁺₍g₎ + e⁻ |
What is the general trend of ionisation energy across period 2? | It increases |
Why does first ionisation energy generally increase across period 2? | Greater attraction between nucleus and outer electrons |
Why are the first ionisation energies of period 3 lower than those of p2 ? | electrons further away and shielded |
Why is there a drop in first ionisation energy between Be and B? | The electrons have started to fill p orbitals which are further away from the nucleus |
Why is there a drop in first ionisation energy between Mg and Al? | The electrons have started to fill p orbitals which are further away from the nucleus |
Why is there a drop in first ionisation energy between N and O? | electrons have started to pair in p orbitals. Electron is repulsed by the other electron making it easier to remove. |
Why is there a drop in first ionisation energy between P and S? | electrons have started to pair in p orbitals. Electron is repulsed by the other electron making it easier to remove. |
