19.4 - 19.6 Groups 2A - 4A Elements
Group 2A • Alkaline Earth Metals (M) • ns2 • M2+ cations • basic oxides • MOH + H2O → M2+ + 2OH-
Beryllium • small size, high electronegativity • amphoteric • Be(H2O)42+ + 2OH- → Be(H2O)2(OH)2 + 2H2O • BeCl2 - covalent
2A Applications • Ca and Mg • human minerals • metal alloys • “hard” water
Group 3A • ns2np1 • B- only nonmetal in the group • borane - covalent hydrides (no BH3) that are highly reactive • Al - metallic properties but covalent bonds (amphoteric) • Ga - expands when frozen, largest liquid range for metals, amphoteric
Group 4A • ns2np2 • can form four covalent bonds with nonmetals • C=life • forms π bonds: carbon backbones • CO, CO2, C3O2 • Si = abundant semimetal • semiconductors, alloys, etc
Sample Exercise Calculate the amount of time required to produce 1.oo x 103 kg of Mg by electrolysis of molten MgCl2 using a current of 1.00 x 102 A. • faraday = 96485 C mol e- • A = C/s
19.2 Practice What mass of barium is produced when molten BaCl2 is electrolyzed by a current of 2.50 x 105 A for 6.00 hrs? • faraday = 96485 C mol e- • A = C/s
19.3 Practice Ga2O3 is an amphoteric oxide, and In2O3 is a basic oxide. Write equations for the reactions that illustrate these properties.
19.4 Practice (Bio!) The fermentation of glucose produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Write a balanced equation for this process.
