Module C4: Chemical Patterns
- Atoms
- The Nucleus
- Protons and Neutrons
- Protons = heavy and positively charged.
- Elements have different
numbers. All Atoms of same
element have same number
- Neutrons = heavy and no charge
- Positively Charged
- Tiny, almost whole mass
- The Electrons
- move around nucleus
- negetively charged
- No mass
- Arranged in Shells
- if added or removed atom
becomes an ion (charged)
- Number of Protons =
Number of Electrons
- Same sized charge
but opposite
- Chemical Equations
- Same atoms at start
and end of reaction
just rearranged
- Must be same amount
of atoms on both sides
of equation
- Physical States
- (s) = solid
- (l) = liquid
- (g) gas
- (aq) = dissolved
in water
- Line Spectrums
- Some Elements produce
flames with distinctive colours
- Li = red flame
- Na = yellow/
orange flame
- K = lilac flame
- different colours in fireworks
- help chemists to idendity metal
in compound. Burn substance,
see colours produced.
- Each Element gives
a characteristic Line
Spectrum
- If heated electrons in an
atom release energy as light
- Wavelengths recorded as a line spectrum
- Different Elements = different wavelengths
- because of different electron arrangement
- Different pattern of wavelengths
- spectrums used to identify elements
- Spectroscopy
- scientist have discovered new elements using this eg, caesium and rubidium.
- History of the Periodic Table
- 1800s only measure relative atomic mass,
elements aranged in order of this only.
- Dobereiner
- Order elements
into triads (groups)
- based on chemical properties
- Newland
- Ordered atoms by relative atomic
mass, every eigth had similar properties
- Newlands octives
- Broke down on
3rd row, he left
no gaps, work
was ignored.
- Groups contained elements that
didn't have similar properties. Mixed
up metals and Non-metals. No Gaps.
- Mendeleev
- 1869 arrange 50 known elements,
left gaps, predicted unfound
- keep elements with
similar properties in the
same vertical groups
- When the element he left gaps
for were discovered people
believed his theory more.
- order of atomic mass
- The Modern Periodic Table
- Puts elements
with similar
properties together.
- in order of increasing proton number
- Metals left, none metals right (steps)
- columns = similar properties
- groups = vertical column
- group number tells you
how many electrons are
on the outer shell
- if you know properties of one element
in the group you can predict the
properties of other elements
- group 1:more reactive as you go down.
group 7: less reactive as you go down
- Electron Shells
- Rules.
- electrons occupy shells.
- lowest energy levels filled first
- 1st Shell: 2
2nd Shell: 8
3rd Shell:8
- most outer shells not full
- makes atom want to react
- electronic arrangement
determines properties
- Working out Electron Configurations
- look at the number of protons an atom has.
- it has the same number of electrons
- follow shell rules to fill up the shells for the element
- Ionic Bonding
- Ions are made when atoms
lose or gain electrons
- can be made from single
atoms or groups of atoms.
- they lose/ gain to try and
get a full outer shell
- Group 1 have 1
electron in outer shell.
- want to get rid of that one
to have full shells.
- when they lose an electron
they form positive ions
- group 7 have outer
shells almost full
- Want to fill them (get
1 extra electron)
- when they gain an
electron they form
negitive ions
- Ionic compounds
form a regular lattice.
- solid ionic compounds are made
of a giant lattice of ions. each
lattice forms a single crystal.
- When they dissolve in water
they can conduct electricity
because ions can move.
- Group 1; The Alkali metals
- 1 outer shell electron
- Very reactive
- More violent the reation with
water, the more reactive they are.
- all similar properties
- When they react they
form similar compounds
- shiny when freshly cut
- react with oxygen in moist air
- Down the group
- more reactive
- denser
- lower melting point
- lower boiling point
- Produce Hydrogen
when reacted with water
- fizz, some ignite
- reaction makes an
alkaline solution
- a hoydroxide of
the metal forms
- Reaction with Chlorine makes salts.
- reacts vigorously,
creates colourless
crystalline salts.
- Group 7: Halogens
- 7 outer electrons
- very reactive, create
similar compounds,
have similar properties
- form diatomic
molecules
(always in pairs)
- as you go down the group
- less reactive
- higher melting point
- higher boiling point
- non-metals with coloured vapours
- Fl, very reactive
poisonous yellow
gas @ room temp.
- Cl, fairly reactive,
dense green gas
@room temp.
- Bromine, dense orange volatile
liquid @room temperature and
forms an orange gas
- Iodine, dark grey
crystaline solid @room
temp. or a purple vapour
- React with alkali metals to form salts
- They react with iron to form
coloured solids called iron
halides.
- Displacement reactions,
more reactive element
pushes a less reactive
element out.
- Laboratory Safety
- Hazard Symbols
- Oxidising
- Provides
oxygen makes
other materials
burn more
fiercely.
- Explosive
- Can explode.
- Highly Flammible
- Catches fire easily
- Corrosive
- attacks and destroys living
tissues inc. eyes and skin
- Toxic
- Can cause death either
by swallowing, breathing
in, or absorption through
the skin.
