In chemistry, salts are ionic compounds
that result from the neutralization reaction
of an acid and a base. They are composed
of related numbers of cations (positively
charged ions) and anions (negative ions)
so that the product is electrically neutral
(without a net charge)
singly charged anion
metals
salts
chlorine
gold leaf
catch fire in chlorine
without heating
iron
iron(III) chloride fumes formed
2Fe (s) + 3Cl2 (g) ---> 2FeCl3 (s)
chloride salts
Flourine
flouride salts
Bromine
bromide salts
Iodine
iodide salts
+water
salts
Iodine
very slow solubility
I2 + Fe
very slow
halogens dissolve in water
react with water
solutions
behave like bleaches
chlorine
pale yellow
Bromine
orange/brown
Iodine
brown
Chlorine + water ---> hydrochloric acid + chloric(I) acid
Cl2 (g) + H2O (l) ---> HCl (aq) + HClO (aq)
electrons
7 outer energy level
very reactive
reactivity
decreases down group
atom bigger
attractive force of nucleus less
harder to gain electron
Displacement Reactions
A displacement reaction is a type of reaction
where part of one reactant is replaced by
another reactant.
