AS Level Chemistry - Unit 10.1 Similarities and trends in the properties of the Group 2 metals

**This Powerpoint specifically uses the Cambridge AS Level Chemistry Syllabus (9701) and covers all criteria for – Unit 10.1 Similarities and trends in the properties of the Group 2 metals, magnesium to barium, and their compounds
**

Students will be able to -

1 describe, and write equations for, the reactions of the elements with oxygen, water and dilute hydrochloric and sulfuric acids

2 describe, and write equations for, the reactions of the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates with water and dilute hydrochloric and sulfuric acids

3 describe, and write equations for, the thermal decomposition of the nitrates and carbonates, to include the trend in thermal stabilities

4 describe, and make predictions from, the trends in physical and chemical properties of the elements involved in the reactions in 10.1.1 and the compounds involved in 10.1.2, 10.1.3 and 10.1.5

5 state the variation in the solubilities of the hydroxides and sulfates

**Every Powerpoint includes learning objectives, a starter and plenary, suitable activities and review questions with mark scheme. We also provide a free pdf version of the file so it can easily be printed for students as a handout or uploaded to the school VLE system
