Unit 1
Section (a) – Reaction Rates
1. The rate of a reaction can be followed by measuring changes in concentration, mass
or volume.
Change in …………………………, ……………………….. or ………………………….
Rate =
………………………………… taken
Units are mol l-1 s-1 (for concentration change), ………………. (for mass change), …………………… (for volume change)
2. The rate of a reaction is proportional to 1/........................................ (units s-1).
3. Reaction rate increases as the concentration of a reactant.........................................
As the concentration of a reactant increases the number of collisions between reactant
particles ............................................ .
4. Reaction rate increases as the particle size of solid reactants .........................................
The smaller the particle size the ....................................... the surface area of the solid.
The bigger the surface area the ................................ collisions there are between reactant
particles.
5. Reaction rate increases as the temperature at which the reaction is carried out ...............................
Temperature is a measure of the average ............................................. energy of the particles of a
substance. The higher the kinetic energy of the particles the ............................................ the number
of collisions between reactant particles.
6. The .......................................... energy (EA) is the minimum kinetic energy required
by colliding particles before reaction will occur. Increasing the temperature
......................................... the number of particles which possess the
.................................................. energy (E A) and so increases the rate of the reaction.
A ............................... increase in temperature can give a large increase in reaction rate.
7. With some chemical reactions light energy can be used to increase the number of particles with
the necessary activation energy. One such reaction is ........................................................... in which
green plants use light energy to make starch.
8. From a balanced chemical equation the amount of a reactant in excess can be calculated. (See
separate booklet on Higher Chemistry calculations).
9. A .................................................... catalyst is in the same physical state as the reactants.
A ..................................................... catalyst is in a different physical state to at least one of the
reactants.
10. Heterogeneous catalysts work by adsorbing a reactant onto the surface of the catalyst.
The reactant that is absorbed forms ........................ bonds with the active site on the catalysts
surface. The reactant adsorbed and the .......................... site are complementary in size and shape.
1
11. The surface activity of a catalyst can be ............................................. by a catalyst poison. For example,
cars fitted with catalytic converters have to use .......................................... petrol as any .......................
would poison the catalyst. The catalytic converter converts harmful carbon monoxide and oxides of
nitrogen into ..................................................................... and .........................................................
12. The aluminium oxide catalyst used in cracking long chain hydrocarbons often gets covered in soot
and so the soot has to be .......................... off and the catalyst regenerated.
13. ...................................... catalyse the reactions taking place inside the cells of living plants and animals.
14. ..................................... are also used to catalyse many industrial processes. For example, zymase
is used to catalyse the fermentation of sugar into ..................................................
Section (b) – Enthalpy
1. In an ............................................... reaction heat energy is released to the surroundings.
In an ............................................... reaction heat energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
2. In an exothermic reaction the reactants have ........................... stored energy than the products.
In an endothermic reaction the reactants have ........................... stored energy than the products.
3. A potential energy diagram can be used to show the energy stored in both
reactants and products. The enthalpy change (H) for the reaction is given
by Hproducts - .............................................. The enthalpy change has a negative
value in an ............................................... reaction and a positive value in an
.................................................... reaction.
exothermic reaction
4. The activated ................................... is an unstable arrangement of atoms formed at the maximum of
the potential energy barrier during a reaction .
5. The ........................................... ................................... (E A) is the minimum energy required by the reactant
particles in order to form the activated complex.
6. A catalyst speeds up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a ...............................
activation energy.
7. The enthalpy of ...................................................... is the amount of heat energy give out when one ............
of a substance is completely burned in oxygen.
8. The enthalpy of ...................................................... is the enthalpy change when one ............of a substance
is dissolved in water.
9. The enthalpy of ........................................................ is the mount of heat energy give out when one ............
of water is formed in the neutralisation of an acid.
10. Enthalpy change can be calculated using the relationship H= - cmT where
c is the ..................................................................................... of the substance (usually water with a value
of 4.18 kJ kg-1 oC-1)
m is the mass in ................................................ (kg) of the solution being heated.
T is the temperature change (in ............).

Section (c) – Patterns in the Periodic Table.
1. The Modern day Periodic Table is based on the work of the Russian chemist .............................................
who arranged the elements in order of increasing .................................... mass and left spaces for yet
to be .................................................... elements.
The present day Periodic Table actually arranges the elements in order of increasing atomic number
(the number of .............................. in the nucleus of an atom).
2. The covalent radius of the elements ................................................ from left to right across a period
and .................................................. from top to bottom within a group.
3. The .................................................. in covalent radius from left to right across a group is due to an
................................................. in the number of protons (positive charges) in the nucleus attracting the
electron energy levels ......................................... to the nucleus.
4. The .................................................. in covalent radius from top to bottom in a group is due to an
.............................................. in the number of occupied electron energy levels as we go down the group.
Each new energy level is ..................................... away from the nucleus making the atom .............................
in size.
5. The first ........................................................ energy is the amount of energy that has to be supplied to
remove one mole of electrons from one mole of neutral atoms in the gas state.
ie for sodium Na(g)
................ + ........... H= .................... kJ mol-1 (data booklet page 10)
6. The second ...................................... energy is the amount of energy to remove one mole of electrons
from one mole of +1 ions in the gas sate.
+
ie for sodium Na (g)
................... + ...................... H= .................. kJ mol-1 (data booklet page 10)
7. The second ionisation energy is higher than the first due to the electron having to be removed
from a ......................... ion rather from a .......................... atom.
8. The first ionisation energy ..................................... from left to right across a group due to the
increasing number of ................................. in the nucleus attracting the electrons more ...........................
This increased attraction means that more energy has to be supplied to remove an electron from
the atom.
9. The first ionisation energy ............................... from top to bottom within a group due to the
increasing number of occupied electron ................................... .......................................... Each new
energy level that is occupied is ........................... away from the nucleus. Each new energy level
provides additional screening and so it requires ............................. energy to remove an electron.
10. Atoms of different atoms have different attractions for bonding electrons. The
.................................................................. value is a measure of the attraction that an atom has for
electrons it shares with other atoms.
11. The higher the electronegativity value of an atom the more ...................................... it attracts
bonding electrons towards itself.
3
12. Electronegativity values ..................................... from left to right across a period. This is due
to an increase in the number of ................................ in the nucleus of the atoms attracting the
shared electrons in the bond more strongly.
13. Electronegativity value ...................................... from top to bottom within a group. This is due to
the greater ..................................... effect on more occupied electron energy levels.
Section (d) - Bonding, structure and properties of the first 20 elements.
1. Metallic bonding is an electrostatic attraction between the ................................charged nucleus and
the delocalised outer ..................................................
2. Atoms of non-metal elements bond together by sharing electrons – this type of bond is known as
a ......................................... bond. In a ..................................... bond the atoms are held together by an
electrostatic attraction between the ........................................ charged shared electrons and the
............................................ charged nuclei.
3, Ionic bonding usually occurs between metal and ........................................ atoms.
Ionic bonding is an electrostatic attraction between the .......................................... charged metal ions
and the ........................................... charged non-metal ions.
4. ............... der ........................ forces are weak forces of attraction that exists between covalent
molecules and also between the atoms of ............................. gases (group 8). .................... der ...................
forces are much .................................. than all other types of bonding.
5. Van der Waals forces are caused by small electrostatic attractions between ......................................
dipoles created in atoms by an uneven distribution of electrons in the electron cloud round an atom.
6. Van der Waals forces ................................... in strength as we go down groups 5, 6 7 and 8.
Bigger atoms have more electrons and so the size of the temporary dipoles .....................................
as we go down the group.
7. A molecule is described as being polar if the it has a ......................................................... dipole.
eg hydrogen chloride +H-Cl-.
8. The electrostatic attraction between molecules with permanent dipoles are .................................... than
the weak van der Waals forces between molecules with .................................................. dipoles.
9. Symmetrical molecules with polar bonds are themselves ................................................ – the symmetry
cancels out the polarity of the bonds.
For example, +O=C+=O- is a non-polar molecule as it has a ........................................ shape.
10. Bonds in which a hydrogen atom are bonded to a much more electronegative element are
very strongly polar. The elements which are much more electronegative are nitrogen, ........................,
....................................... and .......................................... Hydrogen bonds are .................................... forces of
attraction between these highly polar molecules eg +H-F+H-F hydrogen bonds).
11. Hydrogen bonds are ............................ than other forms of permanent dipole attractions but they are
weaker than covalent bonds.
