Summary AQA A Level chemistry 3.2.2 Group 2 Alkaline Earth Metals

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 1 out of 2 pages

5 page document which follows the AQA specification closely with detailed notes and easy to understand language while still covering the key information you need to know about Group 2 alkaline Earth Metals. I talk about the physical properties (including trends in ionisation energies, atomic radius, melting points and reactivity) of group 2 metals, their reactions with water, solubility of hydroxides and sulfates, uses of group 2 compounds and testing for presence of a sulphate ion.

ATOMIC RADIUS


Along a period :
atomic radius decreases
. The increased nuclear charge (for
the same no of shells) increases the attraction from the nucleus and pulls
the outer shell electrons closer to the nucleus
.


NISATION
ENERGY

Along a
period
:
isnisation energy increases
. As the atomic radius decreases
and nuclear charge increases ,
the attraction between the nucleus outer
shell electrons increases and :· the electrons are held more strongly
. This
means that more energy is required to remove the outer electron & ionise
the atom
.
