Chapter 7 Periodic Patterns of Reactivity Memorization List

Metals:

Front: magnesium + chlorine gas  à magnesium chloride

Back: (metal + nonmetal à salt)

Front: sodium oxide + water à  sodium hydroxide

Back: (metal oxide + water à metal hydroxide)

Front: magnesium oxide + hydrochloric acid  à magnesium chloride + HOH

Back: (metal oxide + acid  à salt + water)

Alkali Metals:

Front: sodium +  hydrogen gas  à sodium hydride

Back: (alkali metal +  hydrogen gas à hydride)

Front: sodium + water  à sodium hydroxide  +   hydrogen gas

Back: alkali metal  +  water à  base   +   hydrogen

**all alkaline earth metals except Mg react with liquid water to form a base and hydrogen.  Mg will react with steam, however (this was not assigned as a notecard)

Nonmetals:

Front: carbon dioxide + water  à carbonic acid

Back: (nonmetal oxide + water  à acid)

Front:   carbon dioxide + sodium hydroxide  à sodium carbonate +  water

sulfur trioxide +  potassium hydroxide   à potassium sulfate  +  water

Back: (nonmetal oxide + base  à salt  +  water)
