The properties of elements and their compounds show similarities, differences and trends depending on the positions of the elements in the Periodic Table. The positions of some elements are indicated. The letters used are not the symbols of the elements. E D F G A B C H From the elements labelled, give the letter for; the element that forms an amphoteric oxide, the element with the highest first ionisation energy, the element that forms a soluble hydroxide and an insoluble sulfate, the most volatile element in a group that contains elements in all three states of matter at room temperature and pressure, the element that forms the largest cation. The elements in Group 2 all react with oxygen and with water. State and explain the conditions needed for magnesium to react with oxygen. State what would be seen during the reaction in . Write an equation for the reaction of magnesium with cold water. Include state symbols. The carbonates and nitrates of the elements in Group 2 can all be decomposed by heating. Write an equation for the thermal decomposition of magnesium nitrate. The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate forms a solid product that is industrially important. This solid product reacts with water to form a compound commonly known as slaked lime. Write equations for the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate and the reaction of the solid product to form slaked lime. thermal decomposition formation of slaked lime Calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide both have an important use in agriculture. Describe this use and explain what makes these two compounds suitable for it. Write an ionic equation to illustrate this use of calcium carbonate.

P, Q and R all have the molecular formula C3H6O. They are all structural isomers of each other. P and Q each contain an oxygen atom bonded directly to a carbon atom that is sp2 hybridised. R contains an oxygen atom bonded directly to a carbon atom that is sp3 hybridised. Explain the meaning of the term structural isomers. Explain how sp2 and sp3 hybridisation can occur in carbon atoms. sp2 hybridisation sp3 hybridisation State the bond angles normally associated with each type of hybridisation in carbon atoms. sp2 sp3 R contains two different functional groups, one of which is an alkene group. R reacts with cold, dilute, acidified manganate(ions to form propane-1,2,3-triol. H HO C H OH OH C propane-1,2,3-triol H H C H Give the displayed formula of R. State the type of reaction and what you would observe when R reacts with bromine water. Draw the structure of the product formed when R reacts with bromine water. Identify the gaseous product formed when R reacts with hot, concentrated, acidifiedmanganate(ions. P and Q (C3H6O) both form an orange precipitate when reacted with 2,4-DNPH. Only Q produces a yellow precipitate when reacted with alkaline aqueous iodine. Name P and Q. P Q Identify the yellow precipitate formed by the reaction of Q with alkaline aqueous iodine. P and Q each react with hydrogen cyanide to form a single product. The product formed from P exists as a pair of optical isomers. The product formed from Q does not exhibit optical isomerism. Explain the meaning of the term optical isomers. Ethanal, CH3CHO, also reacts with hydrogen cyanide. The product of this reaction is CH3CH(OH)CN. Draw the mechanism of this reaction. Include all necessary charges, dipoles, lone pairs and curly arrows.
