Chlorine reacts with oxygen to form Cl2O7. (a) What is the name of this product (see Table 2.6)? (b) Write a balanced equation for the formation of Cl2O7(l) from the elements. (c) Under usual conditions, Cl2O7 is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 81℃. Is this boiling point expected or surprising? (d) Would you expect Cl2O7 to be more reactive toward H+(aq) or OH− (aq)? Explain. (e) If the oxygen in Cl2O7 is considered to have the -2 oxidation state, what is the oxidation state of the Cl? What is the electron configuration of Cl in this oxidation state?
(a) How many elements are found in period 4 in the periodic table? (b) How many elements are found in group 4A (or 14)?
v. Answer true or false.
(a) Mendeleev discovered that, when elements are arranged in
order of increasing atomic weight, certain sets of properties
recur periodically.
(b) Main-group elements are those in the columns 3A to 8A of the
Periodic Table.
(e) Nonmetals are found at the top of the Periodic Table,
metalloids in the middle, and metals at the bottom.
(d) Among the 116 known elements, there are approximately
equal numbers of metals and nonmetals.
(e) A horizontal row in the Periodic Table is called a group.
() The Group 1A elements are called the "alkali metals."
(g) The alkali metals react with water to give hydrogen gas and a
metal hydroxide, MOH, where “M" is the metal.
(h) The halogens are Group 7A elements.
(1) The boiling points of noble gases (Group 8A elements)
increase in going from top to bottom of the column.
