What state and colour is Chlorine at room temp?
pale green
gas
What state and colour is Bromine at room temp?
red-brown
liquid
What state and colour is Iodine at room temp?
dark grey
solid
What are diatomic models?
molecules made from pairs of atoms
How do you test for chlorine?
Insert damp litmus paper into a test tube containing a gas
If the gas is chlorine, the litmus paper will bleach and change colour from red to white

Group 0 elements (noble gases)
unreactive
full outer shell of electrons
low boiling point
low density

The liquid/solution will conduct electricity
Non-metal ions will be attracted to the…
anode
Metal ions will be attracted to the…

When simple ionic compounds are heated, will they melt?
yes
What are two disadvantages of electrolysis to extract metals?
lots of energy required
expensive
When extracting metals with electrolysis, where does the carbon dioxide form?
At the anode
When extracting metals with electrolysis, where does the extracted metal form?
At the cathode
Why does electrolysis use up a lot of energy?
Because you have to melt the solid ionic compound and provide the electrical current
