EXPERIMENT 1

Periodic Trends

A periodic table is composed of groups and periods. Halogen is (definition). While metals and
nonmetals are (definition). In this study representatives of (pangita unsay tawag aning 3 or aha ni sila na
group gikan) (within group) such as Iodine (I2), Bromine (Br2) and Chlorine (Cl2) were used inorder to
identify the color change which confirms the presence of halogen by using methylene chloride. For the
part two of the experiment representatives of metal such as sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), aluminum
were tested whether which among these metal are more reactive than others. Being able to identify
trends within a group and period would be able to (the importance of study perfomed). (purpose of the
study).

I.OBSERVATIONS

A. Trends within the group: Halogens

1. Properties

Halogen Solution Color

Cl2 water Colorless
Br2 water Reddish Orange
I2 water Reddish/ red

2. Test for Halogens

Halogen Mixture Color

Cl2 water with CH2Cl2 Colorless
Br2 water with CH2CL2 Orange
I2 water with CH2CL2 Purple

3. Reactivity of the halogens: Displacement reactions

Reactants Color of CH2Cl Layer

Cl2 + NaBr Colorless
Cl2 + Nal Light pink
Br2 + NaCl Dark orange
Br2 + Nal Red
I2 + NaCl Light red
I2 + NaCl Magenta
 B. Trends within a period
1. Metals

Reactants Observations
Na + H20 When sodium was dropped into the water the
bubble was very
Mg + H20 There was no reaction, magnesium sank to the
bottom of the test tube.
Mg + HCl At first the magnesium floated in the surface of
the solvent, there was an immediate reaction
when the magnesium was dropped. The reaction
was quite fast. The bubble formation was quite
fast too, and it took 10 seconds for the
magnesium to fully disappear. The test tube was
not that hot during the bubble formation and
melting.
Al + HCl There was no reaction at first, the aluminum
stayed at the bottom. After a few seconds, there
was bubble formation at a very slow rate,
bubbles were less but the reaction was faster
that the first few seconds and bubble formation
rate is also increasing, the aluminum melted as it
rose to the top portion of the test tube, there the
bubble formation was in a very fast rate. When
the aluminum almost disappeared the color of
the solvent changed to gray but returned to its
original color when it fully melted or
disappeared. The test tube during the reaction
was a lot hotter than the Magnesium and
hydrogen chloride.

2. Metals and Non-metals

Conditions
1. a. Mg ribbon
b. Mg residue after ignition
c. Mg residue placed in H20
d. Color change of the litmus paper
2. a. Sulfur crystals
Observations
A light, silvery-white, moderately hard metallic
element that in ribbon
The magnesium residue turned into ash or
powder and the color is white.
Magnesium oxide (Mg residue) was only slightly
soluble so it did not dissolve completely but
formed magnesium hydroxide.
The litmus paper turned blue which means the
magnesium hydroxide is base.
Mustard yellow powder
 b. Ignition if sulfur crystals
c. Gas produced dissolved in H2O
d. Color change of litmus paper
The yellow powder started to rise up or go up as
the bottom received intense heat, there were
liquid-like substance in the color of orange.
Sulfur dioxide (gas produced) was colorless and it
is soluble in water and it has an unpleasant smell,
like burnt matches.
The color change into pink which means acidic.

ANALYSIS

Chlorine (Cl2) is a highly toxic gas with a pale yellow-green color. Chlorine is a very
strong oxidizing agent, which is used commercially as a bleaching agent and as a disinfectant.
Bromine (Br2) is a reddish-orange liquid with an unpleasant, choking odor. Iodine is an intensely
colored solid with an almost metallic luster.

For the second part of the experiment
