What will be produced from the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine?

hydrogen chloride

Why are group I metals more reactive going down the group?

Before the elements react with another element, it forms a cation (positive ion) by losing the electrons in its outermost shell. Larger atoms lose electrons more easily. The electrostatic attraction (attraction of electrons and protons in the nucleus) gets weaker because the distance is further.

Why do some transition element compounds have numbers in their names (i.e. vanadium (V) oxide, iron (III) oxide)?

Transition elements can form more than one compound.

Explain 3 properties of alkali metals!

  • Very reactive
  • Reactivity increases going down the group
  • Sodium, potassium and lithium are less dense than water while rubidium and caesium are denser than water
  • Very soft
  • Silvery and shiny
  • React with oxygen to create an oxide
  • React with chlorine to form a white precipitate
  • Relatively low melting and boiling point for metals
  • Readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge +1
  • They have similar properties.
  • Metals in group one react vigorously with water to create an alkaline solution and hydrogen.

Hydrogen was placed at the top of Group 1 in the early version of the periodic table. The modern periodic table does not show hydrogen in Group 1. 

Why is hydrogen not located in Group I of modern periodic table?

Hydrogen is a gas/non-metal.

Cr2O3 = chromium (?) oxide

Cr2O3 = chromium (III) oxide

400

Why does iodine not react with sodium bromide solution?

Iodine doesn't react with sodium bromide because it is less reactive than bromine.

400

Why is noble gas called 'noble' gas?

They are called noble gases because they do not react with anything in general. They're also known as inert gases for this reason.

CuCl = copper (?) chloride

CuCl = copper (I) chloride

Why is lithium less reactive than potassium?

The tendency to lose electrons is greater in potassium than that in lithium. This is because in lithium the valence electrons are closer to the nucleus therefore the attractive forces between nucleus and valence electrons are very strong.
