New cards

Reactions of metals - group 13 and group 14



Reactivity- Ba»»Be

  1. Halogens- yield MX2

  2. Oxygen- yield oxides

  3. Water- yield hydroxide


2
New cards

  1. Reaction with water


Exception - Be- doesn't form hydroxide

PTR- only Ba reacts vigorously at room temperature

3
New cards

  1. Reaction with oxygen


  1. Be and Mg- interactive but burn with dazzling white flames

  2. Ca, Sr, Ba- very reaction and stored under oil to keep them from contact with air

  3. Sr and Ba form peroxides


4
New cards

Group 14 elements

  1. Liberation of H2 gas- metallic elements like Pb and Sn do not react with water but do react with acids


5
New cards

Inert pair effect - in group 14, going down decreases shielding - increase nuclear attraction - s electrons non available

Implication- stability of Hughes OS (+4) decreases going down. Pb is more stable in +2

Upper elements like carbon and silicon are more stable in +4 state

CO2 is more stable than CO.

SiO2 is a stable compound but SiO doesn't exists
