Bab 4 The Periodic Table of Elements 4.1 Periodic Table of Elements
Physical Properties
1. Colourless at room temperature
2. Low melting point and boiling point.
3. Does not conduct electricity
4. Insoluble in water.
5.
He
Melting point and boiling point increase when descending Group 18.
Ne
i) Size of an atom increases.
Ar
ii) The force of attraction between atoms becomes stronger.
iii) More heat energy is required to overcome this force.
Chemical Properties
1. Noble gases are inert (chemically unreactive) and very stable.
- -
2. Helium atom has duplet electron arrangement ( 2 e ), and the others have octet electron arrangement ( 8 e )
3. Noble gases do not donate, receive or share electrons.
4. Noble gas are monoatomic gases
Uses
1. Helium - weather balloons, airships, oxygen tanks of divers
2. Neon - advertising board lights
3. Argon - fill in electric bulbs
4. Krypton – camera flashlight
5. Xenon – lighthouse lamps, anesthesia
6. Radon – used to treat cancer
4.3 Group 1 Elements (Alkali Metals)
Group 1 Elements Formula Proton Number Electron Arrangement
Lithium Li 3 2.1
Sodium Na 11 2.8.1
Potassium K 19 2.8.8.1
Rubidium Rb 37 2.8.18.8.1
Caesium Cs 55 2.8.18.18.8.1
Francium Fr 87 2.8.18.32.18.8.1
Physical Properties
1. Soft and shiny metal.
2. Conducts electricity.
3. Low density.
4. Low melting point and boiling point compared to other metals.
5. Going down Group 1, hardness, melting point and boiling point decreases.
Chemical Reaction:
Akalki metal reacts with 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
water sodium water sodium hydroxide hydrogen gas
Physical properties
1. Low melting point and boiling point.
2. Does not conduct electricity.
3. Colour becomes darker down the group
- F2
Melting point and boiling point increases when descending Group 17
Cl2
i) Atomic size increases
Br2
ii) Attraction force between molecules become stronger
iii) More heat energy is required to overcome the intermolecular forces
Chemical properties
1. Elements in Group 17 have similar chemical properties (because all alkali metals have 7 valence electrons)
2. In a chemical reaction, each halogen atom receives 1 electron to achieve stable octet electron
arrangement.
3. Exists as diatomic molecules (Cl2, Br2, I2)
Chemical Reaction:
Halogen reacts Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HOCl
with water hydrochloric hypochlorous
acid acid
Electronegativity increases
1. Positive charge in the nuclues of an atom increases
2. Atomic size decreases
Force of attraction between nuclues and electrons increases
( Electronegativity – measure of tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards its
nucleus)
Physical State
Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar
Solid Gas
Metallic Properties
Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar
Uses
1) Mg – substance in lighter
2) Al – substance in cans (e.g. Coca cola tin)
3) Si - Used as semiconductors in the manufacture of electronic microchips (computer, mobile phones etc).
Weak conductor of electricity but a good conductor of electricity at high temperatures
4) P – substance in fireworks
5) S – as fungicides for plants
