Resource summary
Group 2 metals
Trends as you go DOWN the group
RADIUS INCREASES
due to extra shells of electrons as you go down
therefore SHIELDING INCREASES
electrons are less attracted to the nucleus
therefore IONISATION ENERGY DECREASES
meaning MORE REACTIVE as you go down
as electrons are held less strongly
first ionisation energy
M (g) ---> M+ (g) + e-
second ionisation energy
M+(g) ---> M2+ (g) + e-
second ionisation energy is always greater than the first
Overall
M (g) ---> M2+(g) + 2e-
MELTING POINTS DECREASE
due to electrons being further away from the nucleus
and the charge remaining the same
this means that the METALLIC BONDS GET WEAKER
bonds between negative electrons and the positive particles
as the size of the ions increases
reactions with water
For Beryllium
does not react with water
For Magnesium
reacts slowly with water
M(s) +2H20 (l) ---> M(OH) (aq) +H2 (g)
reacts fast with steam
Mg(s) ,H20(g) ---> MgO(s) +H2 (g)
The rest react with water b
all form metal hydroxide + hydrogen
but more vigorous as you go down
Sulphates
solubility decreases
BaSO4 is toxic BUT insoluble
used to outline the gut in medical X-rays
Barium meal
Used to test for sulphate ions
done by acidifying a sulphate ion solution with HCl
adding Barium Chloride
acid is added to remove carbonate ions as CO2 as barium carbonate is also a white precipiatae
forms a white precipitate of BaSO4
Hydroxides
the solubility of the hydroxides increases as you go down
and become more alkaline
due to the presence of more OH
Uses of Hydroxides
Mg(OH)2 is used as an indigestion remedy
neutralises the acid in the stomach
calcium hydroxide is used to treat acidic soil
Ca(OH)2
slaked lime
are all white solids
Barium Hydroxides dissolves to produce a strongly alkaline solution
Ba(OH)2(s) + aq ---> Ba2+(aq) + 2OH-
general facts
group 2 metals OXIDISE
from 0 ---> +2
electron arrangement
2 electrons in an outer s - orbital
