QUESTION 1.State the kinetic theory of matter State one example to support the kinetic theory of matter ANSWER -Matter consist of molecules. These are the smallest particles, which are capable of free existence and retain all the chemical properties of the parent substance. -The molecules are always in a state of random continuous motion. -The molecules exert forces on one another. These forces depend upon intermolecular distance. Gas. Atom-smallest particle that can participate in chemical reaction Molecule-Group of 2 or more atoms which are chemically bonded together Ion-Charged particle Melting Point-The temperature that remains constant at which a solid changes into a liquid at aparicular pressure Proton Number-The number of proton presence in an atom Nucleon Number-The total number of proton and neutron in an atom -Atoms of the same element with the same number of proton but different number of neutrons Cobalt-60:Radiotheraphy of treating cancer Carbon-14:Carbon dating(estimate age of fossils and artefacts) -This is because the heat energy absorbed by the particles is used to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles -This is because the heat loss to the surrounding is balanced to the heat energy liberatedas the particle attracts one another to form solid -When a solid is heated,the particles in the solid absorb heat energy and vibrate stronger at its fixed position due to the increase in kinetic energy of the particles .When the particles managed to overcome the strong force of attraction between them they will finally changed into liquid.In liquid form,the particles have a higher amount of kinetic energy than it is in solid and they can move in a

1.State the basic principle of arranging the elements in the Periodic Table from its proton number 2.State the physical properties of Group 1
4.State the changes in the atomic size and the electronegativity of elements across Period 3
-Atomic size increases-When going down the group,the number of shells occupied with electrons increases -Density increases-The increase in atomic mass is bigger than the increase in atomic radius. -Melting and boiling point increase-The metallic bond between the atoms becomes weaker down the group as the atomic radius increase.Thus less heat energy is required to overcome the weaker forces of attraction between the atoms during melting/boiling -Electropositivity of the metals increases-As atomic radius becomes larger down the group the force of attraction between the nucleus and the single valence electron becomes weaker.Hence,the elements lose the single valence electron more easily down the group. -Reactivity Increase-Reactivity increases because the atomic size increase,the valence electron in the outermost shell becomes further away from the nucleus.Hence,the atoms can easily donate the single valence electron to achieve the stable electron arrangement of the atom of noble gas. -Reactivity Decrease-This is because the atomic size of halogen increases.Thus the outermost occupied shell of each halogen atombecomes further from nucleus.Thus,the strength to attract one electron into th valence shell by the nucleus become weaker. Atomic size decreases from left to right -The proton number increases from left to right -The nuclei charge,positive charge in the nucleus increases -Nuclei attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron increase -Valence electron becomes closer to the nucleu -Thus,atomic size becomes smaller
-The elements from group 3 to group 12 in the periodic table -Has high melting and boiling point -has high tensile strength -Element X has an electron arrangement of 2.8.8.2.Hence,it is positioned at period 4 group 2.(Period=no of shells;Group=valence number) -This is because the number of proton increases from left to right.This causes the positive charge in the nucleus to increase.The nuclei attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron increase.The valence shell containing valence electron becomes closer to the nucleus.Hence,the atomic size decreases from sodium to argon. -This is because the number of proton increases from left to right.This causes the positive charge in the nucleus to increase.The increase of proton causes valence shell containing valence electron to be closer to the nucleus.The more the proton number,the stronger the force to attract valence electron and electrons into the valence shell.Hence,the electronegativity increases across period 3 -Reactivity increases because the atomic size increase,the valence electron in the outermost shell becomes further away from the nucleus.Hence,attraction between nucleus and valence electron becomes weaker.Thus,the atoms can easily donate the single valence electron to achieve the stable electron arrangement of the atom of noble gas -This is because the atomic size of halogen increases.Thus,the outermost occupied shell of each halogen atom becomes further from nucleus.Thus,the strength to attract one electron into the valence shell by the nucleus becomes weaker.

1.What is anion? 2.What is cation? 3.State two physical properties of ionic compounds 4.State two physical properties of covalent compounds 5.Explain why sodium chloride can conduct electricity in aqueous state but cannot conduct electricity in solid state.
-This is because in aqueous state the ions that made up sodium chloride are able to move freely in the solution.This means that there are charges moving in the solution.Hence,it can conduct electricity.However,in solid state,the ions are at fixed position in lattice.They are unable to move around freely.Thus,it cannot conduct electricity. Magnesium chloride Solid Aspects of view State at room temperatue Type of compound Boiling point Inference Hydrogen chloride Gas
6.Magnesium chloride and hydrogen chloride are two compounds of chlorine.At room condition,magnesium chloride exists as a solid but hydrogen chloride exists as gas.Explain why.
Ionic compound High Ionic compound is held together by a strong bond called ionic bond.This means that more heat energy is needed to break the bonds and change the state of the compound.Hence,at a moderate room temperature it is in solid state
Covalent comppund Low Covalent compound is held together by weak intermolecular forces(Vander-Waals force).This means that a small amount of heat energy is sufficient to change its state.Hence at a moderate room temperature it is in gas state
8.By using example,describe the formation of covalent bond between element from Group 14 and element from Group 17.
-A sodium atom has 11 electrons and it has an electron arrangement of 2.8.1.This electron arrangement is not stable.It needs to donate an electron to achieve an octet electron arrangement.When a sodium atom donates an electron,it will become sodium ion with the electron arrangement of 2.8. -Chlorine atom has 17 electros and it has an electron arrangement of 2.8.7.This configuration is unstable.It needs to receive one electron to become stable and achieve an octet electron arrangement.When a chlorine atom receive electron,it will become chloride ion with the electron arrangement 2.8.8. -When a sodium atoms reacts with a chlorine atom,an electron of the sodium atom is given to the chlorine atom.The positively charged ion Na+ will attract to the negatively charged ion,Cl- to form an ionic compound,sodium chloride, NaCl.This force enables the two ions to stick together through ionic bond. -Example of formation:tetrachloromethane,CCl4 (Carbon-G14;Chlorine-G17) -The formula of tetrachloromethane molecule is CCL4.Carbon is in group 14 of the periodic table.It has four electron in its valence shell.In order to achieve the octet electron arrangement,each carbon atom needs another four more electrons to form an octet electron arrangement. -Chlorine atom is in group 17 of the periodic table.It has 7 valence electron.It needs one more electron to achieve the octet electron arrangement. -When one carbon atom share one electron with four chlorine atom,both carbon atom and chlorine atom can achieve a stable electron arrangement.This means that each chlorine atom share pair of electron with a carbon atom.This indicates single covalent bond.
