10There is a higher concentration of sodium salts than potassium salts in the sea because sodium salts are more [blank_start]soluble[blank_end] than potassium salts.

11The sea contains high concentrations of s-block salts because they are very [blank_start]soluble[blank_end] and so they [blank_start]wash into[blank_end] the sea.

- Breducing
38Hydroxide ions have a more [blank_start]negative[blank_end] standard electrode potential than chlorine and are therefore better [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] agents. Chloride ions are nonetheless discharged at the anode, because water is only a [blank_start]weak electrolyte[blank_end] so the concentration of hydroxide is [blank_start]low[blank_end]; many more chloride ions reach the anode than hydroxide ions.

- Conic
- Dadius
- Escreening electrons
- Fcharge density
54Going from G1 to G2, the melting point [blank_start]increases,[blank_end] because the [blank_start]nuclear charge[blank_end] increases which causes the [blank_start]ionic radius[blank_end] to decrease as the outer electrons are [blank_start]dragged[blank_end] towards the nucleus. An extra [blank_start]electron[blank_end] per atom is also contributed to the delocalised electron sea, increasing its [blank_start]charge density[blank_end].

- Bnuclear charge
- Cionic radius
- Ddragged
- Echarge density
- Felectron

59As you go across a period, the atomic radius [blank_start]decreases[blank_end] as the [blank_start]nuclear charge[blank_end] increases so the valence electrons are [blank_start]dragged[blank_end] closer to the nucleus.

- Adecreases

- Batomic radius
- Cscreening electrons
64As you go from G1 to G2, the first ionisation enthalpy [blank_start]increases[blank_end] as the [blank_start]nuclear charge[blank_end] increases and the [blank_start]atomic radius[blank_end] decreases but the [blank_start]number of screening electrons[blank_end] remains constant.

- Catomic radius
- Dnumber of screening electrons
65First ionisation enthalpy is often measured using [blank_start]optical spectra[blank_end]

- Amore
- Bfirst ionisation enthalpy
- Csmaller
76Lithium has a very negative standard electrode potential because it is very [blank_start]charge dense[blank_end] and therefore has a highly exothermic [blank_start]enthalpy change of hydration[blank_end] which outweighs the endothermic [blank_start]first ionisation enthalpy[blank_end].
- Acharge dense
- Benthalpy change of hydration
- Cfirst ionisation enthalpy
77The s-block metals generally react by forming [blank_start]M+[blank_end] and [blank_start]M2+[blank_end] ions. They react with [blank_start]electronegative p-block[blank_end] elements to form ionic compounds.
- AM+
- BM2+
- Celectronegative p-block
78Metals react with p-block elements. This is because metals are good [blank_start]reducing agents[blank_end] and therefore form [blank_start]cations[blank_end] easily, and p-block elements are good [blank_start]oxidising agents[blank_end] and therefore form [blank_start]anions[blank_end] easily.
- Areducing agents
- Bcations
- Coxidising agents
- Danions
79Metals are good reducing agents because they have relatively low [blank_start]first ionisation enthalpies[blank_end].

81Ionic lattices are only stable primarily due to the highly exothermic [blank_start]lattice enthalpy[blank_end]
- Alattice enthalpy
82MgCl2 has a [blank_start]higher[blank_end] lattice enthalpy than NaCl because the Mg2+ ion has higher [blank_start]charge density[blank_end] than the Na+ ion and therefore the [blank_start]electrostatic attraction[blank_end] between ions in the lattice is stronger.
- Acharge density
- Bhigher
- Celectrostatic attraction
83NaCl2 doesn't exist as a compound because the [blank_start]second ionisation enthalpy[blank_end] of sodium is huge since the electron must be removed from a [blank_start]2p[blank_end] orbital which is much closer to the [blank_start]nucleus[blank_end] and is [blank_start]screened[blank_end] less than the 3s orbital the first electron is removed from. Hence the enthalpy of formation would be [blank_start]positive[blank_end], meaning the compound would be less stable than [blank_start]the individual elements[blank_end].
- Asecond ionisation enthalpy
- B2p
- Cnucleus
- Dscreened
- Epositive
- Fthe individual elements
84The three possible oxygen anions are: o[blank_start]xide[blank_end], p[blank_start]eroxide[blank_end] and s[blank_start]uperoxide[blank_end]. [You should write their formulae out]

- Asuperoxide
- Bperoxide
- Coxide
100Going up a group, the oxygen anion tends to be the [blank_start]oxide[blank_end] ion, because the O-O bond in the superoxide and peroxide ions is [blank_start]weak[blank_end] and is easily broken by the distorting effect charge dense metal cations towards the top of the groups have.
- Aoxide
- Bweak
101There are fewer superoxides in group 2 than group 1 because the group 2 cations are more [blank_start]charge dense[blank_end] and therefore have a more potent polarising effect on the [blank_start]negative charge[blank_end] cloud around the anion, causing the weak [blank_start]O-O[blank_end] bond in the superoxide ion to break.
- Acharge dense
- Bnegative charge
- CO-O

- Aeffervescence
- Bignite
- Corange
- Dperfect sphere
108As you go down G1, the reaction between the metals and water become [blank_start]more[blank_end] vigorous because the reaction is a [blank_start]redox[blank_end] reaction and as you go down the group the metals become better [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] agents since the [blank_start]atomic radius[blank_end] increases and the number of [blank_start]screening electrons[blank_end] increases, which outweighs the effect of increased [blank_start]nuclear charge[blank_end] and means [blank_start]less[blank_end] energy is required to remove the most loosely held electron.

109The reaction of G2 metals with water is [blank_start]less[blank_end] vigorous than that with G1 metals. The reaction is a [blank_start]redox[blank_end] reaction, and G2 metals are weaker [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] agents than G1 metals, since the [blank_start]nuclear charge[blank_end] is greater and the [blank_start]atomic radius[blank_end] is smaller, so [blank_start]more[blank_end] energy is needed to remove the most loosely held electron.

113The two steps in the dissolution of an ionic lattice are: supplying the [blank_start]lattice enthalpy[blank_end] to break up the lattice and [blank_start]hydrating[blank_end] the resulting gaseous ions.

114In the G1/2 hydroxides, the solubility [blank_start]increases[blank_end] going down the group. As you go down the group, the [blank_start]charge density[blank_end] of the ions decreases so the electrostatic attractions between ions in the lattice decreases so the lattice enthalpy [blank_start]decreases[blank_end]. This outweighs the effect of the less exothermic [blank_start]hydration[blank_end] enthalpy of the cation, meaning the enthalpy change of [blank_start]solution[blank_end] becomes more exothermic.

115In the G1 chlorides, in general, the solubility [blank_start]increases[blank_end] down the group. [blank_start]Lithium[blank_end] breaks this trend. It is very charge [blank_start]dense[blank_end] and therefore [blank_start]distorts[blank_end] the negative charge cloud around the chloride ion, causing the lattice to adopt a slight [blank_start]covalent[blank_end] nature as electron density is [blank_start]shared[blank_end]. This destabilises the lattice and reduces the lattice enthalpy, thereby making the enthalpy change of solution of lithium chloride very [blank_start]exothermic[blank_end].

116In the G2 chlorides, sulphates and carbonates, the solubility [blank_start]decreases[blank_end] down the group. As the [blank_start]charge[blank_end] density of the cations increases going up the group, the extent of [blank_start]distortion[blank_end] of the negative charge cloud around the anion increases, thereby increasing [blank_start]covalent[blank_end] nature and destabilising the lattice, making the lattice enthalpy smaller and making the enthalpy change of solution more [blank_start]exothermic[blank_end].

117In the G1 sulphates, the solubility generally [blank_start]increases[blank_end] down the group. However, [blank_start]lithium[blank_end] breaks this trend. It has particularly high [blank_start]charge[blank_end] density so [blank_start]distorts[blank_end] the negative charge cloud around the sulphate ion, leading to some [blank_start]covalent[blank_end] nature in the lattice, which destabilises the lattice and reduces the lattice enthalpy thereby making the enthalpy change of solution very [blank_start]exothermic[blank_end].
