Why do elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties?Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their outer shellElements in the same group of the periodic table are all the same type of element (metal, non-metal etc.)Elements in the same group of the periodic table have different numbers of electrons in their outer shellElements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of protonsQuestion 5 of 23 Loading... 6. If pieces of lithium, potassium and sodium were added to water, how could observations of the different reactions indicate the relative reactivity of those 3 metals?Lithium would bubble the most vigorously, showing it is most reactive. Potassium would give off a lilac flame, showing it is least reactive.Sodium would bubble the least vigorously, showing it is least reactive. Lithium would give off a orange flame, showing it is most reactive.Lithium would bubble the least vigorously, showing it is least reactive. Potassium would give off a lilac flame, showing it is most reactive.Sodium would bubble the least vigorously, showing it is least reactive. Potassium would give off a orange flame, showing it is most reactive.Question 6 of 23 Loading... 7. Explain, by referring to the electronic configurations, why potassium is more reactive than sodium.Sodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and potassium has 2,8,8,1. The outer electron lost from potassium is further from the nucleus therefore the electron is less attracted by the nucleus. So potassium is more reactive than sodiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and potassium has 2,1. The outer electron lost from potassium is further from the nucleus therefore the electron is less attracted by the nucleus. So potassium is more reactive than sodiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and potassium has 2,1. The outer electron lost from potassium is closer to the nucleus therefore the electron is more attracted by the nucleus. So potassium is more reactive than sodiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and potassium has 2,8,8,1. The outer electron lost from potassium is closer to the nucleus therefore the electron is more attracted by the nucleus. So potassium is more reactive than sodiumQuestion 7 of 23 Loading... 8. Which is more reactive: copper, magnesium, iron or silver?magnesiumironsilvercopperQuestion 8 of 23 Loading... 9. Explain, by referring to the electronic configurations, why fluorine is more reactive than chlorineFluorine has the electronic configuration 2,7 and chlorine has 2,8,7. An extra outer electron is gained more easily by chlorine. This is because the outer shell is closer to the nucleus, so an extra electron is attracted more strongly. So fluorine is more reactive than chlorineFluorine has the electronic configuration 2,8,7 and chlorine has 2,7. An extra outer electron is gained more easily by fluorine. This is because the outer shell is closer to the nucleus, so an extra electron is attracted more strongly.

What are the elements in group 7 called?Alkali metalsChalcogensNoble gasesHalogensQuestion 10 of 23 Loading... 11. State 5 observations when sodium reacts with water1) fizzing occurs 2) sodium moves around 3) sodium goes white 4) sodium disappears 5) sodium floats1) fizzing occurs 2) sodium moves around 3) sodium melts 4) sodium disappears 5) sodium floats1) fizzing occurs 2) sodium moves around 3) sodium melts 4) sodium disappears 5) sodium sinks1) fizzing occurs 2) sodium moves around 3) sodium goes white 4) sodium disappears 5) sodium sinksQuestion 11 of 23 Loading... 12. Do metals other than iron rust?Yes. any oxide can be called rustYes. Metal oxides that form at room temperature and pressure with only water and oxygen can be called rustYes. Any metal salt can be called rustNo. The term rust is only applied to ironQuestion 12 of 23 Loading... 13. How many electrons in a calcium atom?20401941Question 13 of 23 Loading... 14. Write the word equation to represent the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calciumhydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium hydrochloridehydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium hydrochloride + waterhydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium chloride + waterhydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium chloride + hydrogenQuestion 14 of 23 Loading... 15. In halogen displacement reactions, electrons are transferred from one atom to another. What type of reaction is this?PrecipitationElectrolysisRedoxDecompositionQuestion 15 of 23 Loading... 16. Which are described as basic: metal oxides or non-metal oxides?Depends on conditionsNeitherNon-metal oxidesmetal oxidesQuestion 16 of 23 Loading... 17. On the Periodic table what is the meaning of the word Group?

Explain how galvanising prevents rustingZinc accepts excess electrons from the iron, preventing it from reactingZinc is more reactive than iron. Zinc reacts with water instead of ironZinc is more reactive than iron. Zinc reacts with oxygen instead of ironThe zinc coating protects the iron, preventing it from exposure to oxygen and waterQuestion 18 of 23 Loading... 19. Describe how the reaction of hydrochloric acid and various metals could be used to determine the relative reactivity of those metalsAdd the various metals to different test tubes containing the same volume but different concentrations of acid. The metals which bubble more are less reactive.Add the various metals to different test tubes containing the same volume and concentration of acid. The metals which bubble more are more reactive.Add the various metals to different test tubes containing the same volume and concentration of acid. The metals which bubble more are less reactive.Add the various metals to different test tubes containing the same volume but different concentrations of acid. The metals which bubble more are more reactive.Question 19 of 23 Loading... 20. Where are non-metals found on the periodic table?At the top right, plus hydrogenOn the left, reaching across the middleOnly on the bottom rowOnly in the left hand columnQuestion 20 of 23 Loading... 21. Suggest how the reactivity of fluorine compares to chlorineFluorine is less reactive than chlorine because it is more volatileFluorine is less reactive than chlorine as it is more stable as an elementFluorine is more reactive than chlorine as it is higher in the group.Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine because it has a lower boiling pointQuestion 21 of 23 Loading... 22. If a substance gains oxygen in a reaction how is the process described?CombustionReductionHydrolysisOxidationQuestion 22 of 23 Loading... 23. What is special about the elements in group 0?They are all coloured gasesThey are all diatomicThey are very unreactive (because they have full outer electron shells)They have the same number of electronsQuestion 23 of 23 Loading...
