State the three trends in the group 7 elements as you go down the periodic table.

  1. Decreased reactivity.
  2. Higher melting/boiling points.
  3. Higher atomic mass.

Are halogens monoatomic or diatomic?

Halogens exist as diatomic molecules. This means they exist in pairs of atoms, like F2, or Cl2.

Why do halogens become less reactive as you move down group 7 of the periodic table?

  1. As you go down the group, atomic radius and shielding increase (which outweighs the increased nuclear charge).
  2. This means there is a weaker electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron it is trying to gain.
  3. This means more energy is required for a reaction to occur.

What type of bonds do halogens form with metals?

Halogens form ionic bonds with metals.

What is a halogen displacement reaction?

A reaction is which a more reactive halogen displaces a less reactive one.

Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.

Could chlorine displace the bromine in potassium bromide?

Yes, because chlorine is more reactive than bromine.

What are the group 0 elements called?

Noble gases.

Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.

Are noble gases metals or non-metals?

Noble gases are non-metals.

Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.

Noble gases are 'inert', what does 'inert' mean?

Inert mean they’re not reactive, so they don’t react with other atoms.

Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.

Why are noble gases inert?

Noble gases are inert because they already have a full outer-shell of electrons, so don’t need to gain or lose any electrons.

What is the physical state of group 0 elements at room temperature?

Group 0 elements are the noble gases, which are all gaseous at room temperature.

Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.

State and explain the trend in the boiling points of noble gases as you move down group 0 of the periodic table.

The boiling points increase as you move down the group. This is because the atoms have more electrons, and so can form more intermolecular forces, which will require more energy to overcome.

Answer in your head, out loud, or on paper, then tap the card to flip.

Are noble gases monoatomic or diatomic?

Noble gases are monoatomic, which means they exist as single atoms, not bonded to anything.
