Metal Reactivity & Halogens quiz Loading... 1. Explain, by referring to the electronic configurations, why 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. 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 chlorine.

In the test of a gas, a glowing splint relights. What is the gas?OxygenChlorineHydrogenCarbon dioxideQuestion 2 of 23 Loading... 3. Is the production of iron from iron ore oxidation or reduction?ReductionOxidationOxidation is the loss of electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons.REDOXQuestion 3 of 23 Loading... 4. Explain, by referring to the electronic configurations, why lithium is less reactive than sodium.Sodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,1. The outer electron lost from sodium is further from the nucleus therefore the electron is less attracted by the nucleus. So sodium is more reactive than lithiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,1. The outer electron lost from sodium is closer to the nucleus therefore the electron is more attracted by the nucleus. So sodium is more reactive than lithiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,8,8,1. The outer electron in lithium is less attracted to the nucleus than in sodium because it is further away. So lithium is more reactive than sodiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,8,8,1. The outer electron in lithium is more attracted to the nucleus than in sodium because it is further away. So sodium is more reactive than lithiumQuestion 4 of 23 Loading... 5. Write the word equation to represent the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calciumhydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium chloride + waterhydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium hydrochloride + waterhydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium hydrochloridehydrochloric acid + calcium → calcium chloride + hydrogenQuestion 5 of 23 Loading... 6. An experiment investigates which of metals X and Z is more reactive. The result is X + ZSO₄ → XSO₄ + Z. Which metal is more reactive?XZXSO₄ZSO₄Question 6 of 23 Loading... 7. On the Periodic Table what is the meaning of the word Period? What does that tell us about the electron configuration of the atom?Same electronic configurationSame number of electrons in the inner shellsame number of electron shellssame number of electrons in the outer shellQuestion 7 of 23 Loading... 8. What colour and state is iodine at room temperature?dark grey solidyellow-brown liquidbrown gasred-brown liquidQuestion 8 of 23 Loading... 9. Which are described as basic: metal oxides or non-metal oxides?Non-metal oxidesDepends on conditionsNeithermetal oxidesQuestion 9 of 23 Loading... 10. Suggest how the reactivity of astatine compares to that of iodine. Explain your answer.Astatine is more reactive because group 7 elements get more reactive with increasing atomic number.Astatine is more reactive because group 7 elements get less reactive with decreasing atomic number.Astatine is more reactive because group 7 elements get more reactive with decreasing atomic number.Astatine is less reactive because group 7 elements get less reactive with increasing atomic number.Question 10 of 23 Loading... 11.

If pieces of lithium, potassium and sodium were cut and exposed to air, how could observations of the different reactions indicate the relative reactivity of those 3 metals?Potassium would oxidise the most quickly, showing it is most reactive. Lithium would oxidise the slowest, showing it is least reactive.Potassium would burn with a lilac flame showing it is most reactive. Lithium would not burn at all showing it is least reactiveSodium would oxidise the most quickly, showing it is most reactive. Lithium would oxidise the slowest, showing it is least reactive.Potassium would burn with a lilac flame showing it is least reactive. Lithium would not burn at all showing it is most reactiveQuestion 12 of 23 Loading... 13.
