Name the chemical properties. Chemical properties of simple substances. The structure of simple substances - non-metals

Inorganic substances are simple and complex. Simple substances are divided into metals (K, Na, Li) and non-metals (O, Cl, P). Complex substances are divided into oxides, hydroxides (bases), salts and acids.

oxides

oxides- compounds of a chemical element (metal or non-metal) with oxygen (oxidation state -2), while oxygen is associated with a less electronegative element.

Allocate:

1. Acid oxides- oxides showing acid properties. Formed by non-metals and oxygen. Examples: SO3, SO2, CO2, P2O5, N2O5.

2. Amphoteric oxides- oxides, which can exhibit both basic and acidic properties (this property is called amphoteric). Examples: Al2O3, CrO3, ZnO, BeO, PbO.

3. Basic oxides- metal oxides, while the metals exhibit an oxidation state of +1 or +2. Examples: K2O, MgO, CaO, BaO, Li2O, Na2O.

4. Non-salt-forming oxides- practically do not react, do not have the corresponding acids and hydroxides. Examples: CO, NO.

Chemical properties basic oxides

1. Interaction with water

Only oxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals enter into the reaction, the hydroxides of which form a soluble base

basic oxide + water → alkali

K2O + H2O → 2KOH

3. Interaction with acidic or amphoteric oxides

basic oxide + acidic/ amphoteric oxide→ salt

In this case, the metal in the basic oxide becomes a cation, and the acid/amphoteric oxide becomes an anion (acid residue). Reactions between solid oxides occur when heated. Water-insoluble basic oxides do not interact with gaseous acidic oxides.

General information about salts

Imagine that we have an acid and a base, we will carry out a neutralization reaction between them and we will get an acid and a salt.

NaOH + HCl → NaCl (sodium chloride) + H2O

It turns out that the salt consists of a metal cation and an anion of an acid residue.

Salts are:

1. Acidic (with one or two hydrogen cations (that is, they have an acidic (or slightly acidic) environment) - KHCO3, NaHSO3).

2. Medium (I have a metal cation and an anion of an acid residue, the medium must be determined using a pH meter - BaSO4, AgNO3).

3. Basic (have a hydroxide ion, that is, an alkaline (or weakly alkaline) medium - Cu (OH) Cl, Ca (OH) Br).

There are also double salts that form cations of two metals (K) upon dissociation.

Salts, with few exceptions, are crystalline solids with high melting points. Most salts are white (KNO3, NaCl, BaSO4, etc.). Some salts are colored (K2Cr2O7 - orange color, K2CrO4 - yellow, NiSO4 - green, CoCl3 - pink, CuS - black). By solubility, they can be divided into soluble, slightly soluble and practically insoluble. Acid salts, as a rule, are better soluble in water than the corresponding medium salts, and basic salts are worse.

Chemical properties of salts

1. Salt + water

When many salts are dissolved in water, their partial or complete decomposition- hydrolysis. Some salts form crystalline hydrates. When dissolved in water, medium salts containing an amphoteric metal in the anion form complex salts.

NaCl + H2O → NaOH + HCl

Na2ZnO2 + 2H2O = Na2

2. Salt + Basic oxide ≠ no reaction

3. Salt + amphoteric oxide → (t) acid volatile oxide + salt

Amphoteric oxides displace volatile acidic oxides from their salts during fusion.

Al2O3 +K2CO3 → KAlO2 + CO2

Fe2O3 + Na2CO3 → 2NaFeO2 + CO2

4. Salt + acidic non-volatile oxide → acidic volatile oxide + salt

Non-volatile acid oxides displace volatile acid oxides from their salts during fusion.

SiO2 + CaCO3 → (t) CaSiO3 + CO2

P2O5 + Na2CO3 → (t) 2Na3PO4 + 3CO2

3SiO2 + Ca3(PO4)2 → (t) 3CaSiO3 + P2O5

5. Salt + base → base + salt

Reactions between salts and bases are ion exchange reactions. Therefore, under normal conditions, they proceed only in solutions (both the salt and the base must be soluble) and only on condition that a precipitate or a weak electrolyte (H2O / NH4OH) is formed as a result of the exchange; gaseous products are not formed in these reactions.

A. Soluble base + soluble acid salt → medium salt + water

If the salt and base are formed by different cations, then two middle salts are formed; in the case of acidic ammonium salts, an excess of alkali leads to the formation of ammonium hydroxide.

Ba(OH)2 + Ba(HCO3) → 2BaCO3 + 2H2O

2KOH + 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + K2CO3 + 2H2O

2NaOH + 2NH4HS → Na2S + (NH4)2S + 2H2O

2NaOH(ex) + NH4Hs → Na2S + NH4OH + H2O

B. Soluble base + soluble medium/basic salt → insoluble salt↓ + base

Soluble base + soluble medium/basic salt → salt + insoluble base↓

Soluble base + soluble medium/basic salt → salt + weak electrolyte NH4OH

Soluble base + soluble medium/basic salt → no reaction

A reaction between soluble bases and a medium/basic salt occurs only if the exchange of ions produces an insoluble salt, or an insoluble base, or a weak electrolyte NH4OH.

Ba(OH)2 + Na2SO4 → BaSO4↓ + 2NaOH

2NH4OH + CuCl2 → 2NH4Cl + Cu(OH)2↓

Ba(OH)2 + NH4Cl → BaCl2 + NH4OH

NaOH + KCl ≠

If the original salt is formed by a polyacid base, with a lack of alkali, a basic salt is formed.

NaOH(deficient) + AlCl3 → Al(OH)Cl2 + NaCl

Under the action of alkalis on salts of silver and mercury (II), not AgOH and Hg (OH) 2 are released, which decompose at room temperature, but insoluble oxides Ag2O and HgO.

2AgNO3 + 2NaOH → Ag2O↓ 2NaNO3 + H2O

Hg(NO3)2 + 2KOH → HgO↓ + 2KNO3 + H2O

6. Salt + amphoteric hydroxide → no reaction

7. Salt + acid → acid + salt

Mostly. reactions of acids with salts are ion exchange reactions, therefore they proceed in solutions and only if an acid-insoluble salt or a weaker and volatile acid is formed.

HCl + AgNO3 → AgCl↓ + HNO3

2HBr + K2SiO3 → 2KBr +H2SiO3↓

2HNO3 + Na2CO3 → 2NaNO3 + H2O + CO2

A. Acid1 + salt of more volatile/weak acid2 → salt of acid1 + more volatile/ weak acid 2

Acids interact with solutions of salts of weaker or volatile acids. Regardless of the composition of the salt (medium, acidic, basic), as a rule, a medium salt and a weaker volatile acid are formed.

2CH3COOH + Na2S → 2CH3COONa + H2S

HCl + NaHS → NaCl + H2S

B. Strong acid + strong/medium acid salt → insoluble salt↓ + acid

Strong acids react with solutions of salts of other strong acids if an insoluble salt is formed. The non-volatile H3PO4 (medium strength acid) displaces the strong but volatile hydrochloric HCl and nitric acid HNO3 from their salts, provided an insoluble salt is formed.

H2SO4 + Ca(NO3)2 → CaSO4↓ + 2HNO3

2H3PO4 + 3CaCl2 → Ca3(PO4)2↓ + 6HCl

H3PO4 + 3AgNO3 → Ag3PO4↓ + 3HNO3

B. Acid1 + basic salt of acid1 → medium salt + water

When an acid reacts with a base salt of the same acid, a middle salt and water are formed.

HCl + Mg(OH)Cl → MgCl2 + H2O

D. Polybasic acid1 + medium/acid salt of acid1 → acid salt of acid1

When a polybasic acid acts on the average salt of the same acid, an acid salt is formed, and when an acid salt is acted upon, an acid salt containing a larger number of hydrogen atoms is formed.

H3PO4 + Ca3(PO4) → 3CaHPO4

H3PO4 + CaHPO4 → Ca(H2PO4)2

CO2 + H2O + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2

E. Acid H2S + salt Ag, Cu, Pb, Cd, Hg → Ag2S/CuS/PbS/CdS/HgS↓ + acid

Weak and flighty hydrosulfide acid H2S displaces even strong acids from solutions of Ag, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Hg salts, forming sulfide precipitates with them, which are insoluble not only in water, but also in the resulting acid.

H2S + CuSO4 → CuS↓ + H2SO4

E. Acid + medium/complex salt with amphoteric Me in the anion → medium salt + amphoteric hydroxide↓

→ medium salt + medium salt + H2O

When an acid acts on an average or complex salt with an amphoteric metal in the anion, the salt is destroyed and formed:

a) in case of acid deficiency - middle salt and amphoteric hydroxide

b) in case of an excess of acid - two medium salts and water

2HCl(week) + Na2ZnO2 → 2NaCl + Zn(OH)2↓

2HCl(week) + Na2 → 2NaCl + Zn(OH)2↓ + 2H2O

4HCl(ex) + Na2ZnO2 → 2NaCl + ZnCl2 + 2H2O

4HCl(ex) + Na2 → 2NaCl + ZnCl2 + 4H2O

It should be borne in mind that in some cases, OVR or complex formation reactions occur between acids and salts. So, the OVR enter:

H2SO4 conc. and I‾/Br‾ (products H2S and I2/SO2 and Br2)

H2SO4 conc. and Fe²+ (SO2 and Fe³ products + )

HNO3 diluted/conc. and Fe² + (products NO/NO2 and Fe 3 + )

HNO3 diluted/conc. and SO3²‾/S²‾ (NO/NO2 products and sulphate/sulphur or sulphate)

HCl conc. and KMnO4/K2Cr2O7/KClO3 (products chlorine (gas) and Mn²+ /Cr³ + /Cl‾.

G. The reaction proceeds without a solvent

Sulfuric acid conc. + salt (tv.) → salt sour/medium + sour

Non-volatile acids can displace volatiles from their dry salts. Most often, the interaction of concentrated sulfuric acid with dry salts of strong and weak acids is used, in this case an acid and an acidic or medium salt are formed.

H2SO4(conc) + NaCl(solid) → NaHSO4 + HCl

H2SO4(conc) + 2NaCl(solid) → Na2SO4 + 2HCl

H2SO4(conc) + KNO3(s) → KHSO4 + HNO3

H2SO4(conc) + CaCO3(s) → CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O

8. Soluble salt + soluble salt → insoluble salt↓ + salt

Reactions between salts are exchange reactions. Therefore, under normal conditions, they proceed only if:

a) both salts are soluble in water and are taken as solutions

b) as a result of the reaction, a precipitate or a weak electrolyte is formed (the latter is very rare).

AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl↓ + NaNO3

If one of the initial salts is insoluble, the reaction proceeds only when, as a result of it, an even more insoluble salt is formed. The criterion of "insolubility" is the value of PR (solubility product), however, since its study is beyond the scope of the school course, cases where one of the reagent salts is insoluble are not considered further.

If a salt is formed in the exchange reaction, which is completely decomposed as a result of hydrolysis (there are dashes in the solubility table in place of such salts), then the products of the hydrolysis of this salt become the products of the reaction.

Al2(SO4)3 + K2S ≠ Al2S3↓ + K2SO4

Al2(SO4)3 + K2S + 6H2O → 2Al(OH)3↓ + 3H2S + K2SO4

FeCl3 + 6KCN → K3 + 3KCl

AgI + 2KCN → K + KI

AgBr + 2Na2S2O3 → Na3 + NaBr

Fe2(SO4)3 + 2KI → 2FeSO4 + I2 + K2SO4

NaCl + NaHSO4 → (t) Na2SO4 + HCl

Middle salts sometimes interact with each other to form complex salts. OVR is possible between salts. Some salts interact when fused.

9. Salt of less active metal + more active metal → less active metal↓ + salt

A more active metal displaces a less active metal (to the right in the voltage series) from its salt solution, while a new salt is formed, and a less active metal is released in a free form (settles on a plate of active metal). The exception is alkaline and alkaline earth metals react with water in solution.

Salts with oxidizing properties enter into solution with metals and other redox reactions.

FeSO4 + Zn → Fe↓ + ZnSO4

ZnSO4 + Fe ≠

Hg(NO3)2 + Cu → Hg↓ + Cu(NO3)2

2FeCl3 + Fe → 3FeCl2

FeCl3 + Cu → FeCl2 + CuCl2

HgCl2 + Hg → Hg2Cl2

2CrCl3 + Zn → 2CrCl2 + ZnCl2

Metals can also displace each other from molten salts (the reaction is carried out without air access). In doing so, it must be remembered that:

a) when melted, many salts decompose

b) the voltage series of metals determines the relative activity of metals only in aqueous solutions (for example, Al in aqueous solutions is less active than alkaline earth metals, and in melts it is more active)

K + AlCl3(melt) →(t) 3KCl + Al

Mg + BeF2(melt) → (t) MgF2 + Be

2Al + 3CaCl2(melt) → (t) 2AlCl3 + 3Ca

10. Salt + non-metal

Reactions of salts with non-metals are few. These are redox reactions.

5KClO3 + 6P →(t) 5KCl + 3P2O5

2KClO3 + 3S →(t) 2KCl + 2SO2

2KClO3 + 3C →(t) 2KCl + 3CO2

More active halogens displace less active ones from solutions of salts of hydrohalic acids. An exception is molecular fluorine, which reacts in solutions not with salt, but with water.

2FeCl2 + Cl2 →(t) 2FeCl3

2NaNO2 + O2 → 2NaNO3

Na2SO3 + S →(t) Na2S2O3

BaSO4 + 2C →(t) BaS + 2CO2

2KClO3 + Br2 →(t) 2KBrO3 + Cl2 (the same reaction is typical for iodine)

2KI + Br2 → 2KBr + I2↓

2KBr + Cl2 → 2KCl + Br2↓

2NaI + Cl2 → 2NaCl + I2↓

11. Decomposition of salts.

Salt →(t) products thermal decomposition

1. Salts of nitric acid

Products of thermal decomposition of nitrates depend on the position of the metal cation in the series of metal stresses.

MeNO3 → (t) (for Me, to the left of Mg (excluding Li)) MeNO2 + O2

MeNO3 → (t) (for Me from Mg to Cu and also Li) MeO + NO2 + O2

All bicarbonates decompose to the corresponding carbonate.

MeHCO3 →(t) MeCO3 + CO2 + H2O

4. Sulfuric acid salts

MeSO3 →(t) MeS + MeSO4

(NH4)2SO3 →(t) 2NH3 + H2S + 3(NH4)2SO4

Hydrosulfites decompose to sulfites, SO2 and H2O.

MeHSO3 →(t) MeSO3 + SO2 +H2O

5. Salts of sulfuric acid

Many sulfates at t > 700-800 C decompose to metal oxide and SO3, which at this temperature decomposes to SO2 and O2. Alkali metal sulfates are heat resistant. Silver and mercury sulfates decompose to free metal. Hydrosulfates decompose first to disulfates and then to sulfates.

2CaSO4 →(t) 2CaO + 2SO2 + O2

2Fe2(SO4)3 →(t) 2Fe2O3 + 6SO2 + 3O2

2FeSO4 →(t) Fe2O3 + SO3 + SO2

Ag2SO4 →(t) 2Ag + SO2 + O2

MeHSO4 →(t) MeS2O7 + H2O

CHEMISTRY OF THE ELEMENTS

HALOGENS

Simple substances

Chemical properties of Fluorine

Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent in nature. Directly it does not react only with helium, neon and argon.

During the reaction with metals, fluorides are formed, ionic type compounds:

Fluorine reacts vigorously with many non-metals, even with some inert gases:

Chemical properties of chlorine. Interaction with complex substances

Chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than bromine or iodine, so chlorine displaces heavy halogens from their salts:

Dissolving in water, chlorine partially reacts with it, resulting in the formation of two acids: chloride and hypochlorite. In this case, one chlorine atom increases the degree of oxidation, and the other atom reduces it. Such reactions are called disproportionation reactions. Disproportionation reactions are self-healing-self-oxidation reactions, i.e. reactions in which one element exhibits the properties of both an oxide and a reducing agent. With disproportionation, compounds are simultaneously formed in which the element is in a more oxidized and reduced state compared to the primitive one. The oxidation state of the Chlorine atom in the hypochlorite acid molecule is +1:

The interaction of chlorine with alkali solutions proceeds similarly. In this case, two salts are formed: chloride and hypochlorite.

Chlorine interacts with various oxides:

Chlorine oxidizes some salts in which the metal is not in the maximum oxidation state:

Molecular chlorine reacts with many organic compounds. In the presence of ferrum(III) chloride as a catalyst, chlorine reacts with benzene to form chlorobenzene, and when irradiated with light, the same reaction produces hexachlorocyclohexane:

Chemical properties of bromine and iodine

Both substances react with hydrogen, fluorine and alkalis:

Iodine is oxidized by various strong oxidizing agents:

Mining methods simple substances

Extraction of fluorine

Since fluorine is the strongest chemical oxide, it is impossible to isolate it from compounds in a free form using chemical reactions, and therefore fluorine is mined by the physicochemical method - electrolysis.

To extract fluorine, potassium fluoride melt and nickel electrodes are used. Nickel is used due to the fact that the surface of the metal is passivated by fluorine due to the formation of insoluble NiF2, therefore, the electrodes themselves are not destroyed by the action of the substance that is released on them:

Extraction of chlorine

Chlorine is commercially produced by electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. As a result of this process, sodium hydroxide is also extracted:

In small quantities, chlorine is obtained by oxidizing a solution of hydrogen chloride by various methods:

Chlorine is a very important product of the chemical industry.

Its world production is millions of tons.

Extraction of bromine and iodine

For industrial use, bromine and iodine are obtained from the oxidation of bromides and iodides, respectively. For oxidation, molecular chlorine, concentrated sulfate acid or manganese dioxide are most often used:

Application of halogens

Fluorine and some of its compounds are used as an oxidizing agent for rocket fuel. Large amounts of fluorine are used to produce various refrigerants (freons) and some polymers that are characterized by chemical and thermal resistance (Teflon and some others). Fluorine is used in nuclear technology to separate uranium isotopes.

Most of the chlorine is used to produce hydrochloric acid, and also as an oxidizing agent for the extraction of other halogens. In industry, it is used to bleach fabrics and paper. In larger quantities than fluorine, it is used for the production of polymers (PVC and others) and refrigerants. Disinfect with chlorine drinking water. It is also needed to extract some solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride. And it is also used to produce many substances, such as potassium chlorate (bertolet salt), bleach and many other compounds containing chlorine atoms.

Bromine and iodine are not used in industry on the same scale as chlorine or fluorine, but the use of these substances is increasing every year. Bromine is used in the manufacture of various sedative medicines. Iodine is used in the manufacture of antiseptic preparations. Bromine and Iodine compounds are widely used in the quantitative analysis of substances. With the help of iodine, some metals are purified (this process is called iodine refining), such as titanium, vanadium and others.

elementary particles physical matter on our planet are atoms. In a free form, they can exist only at very high temperatures. Under normal conditions elementary particles tend to combine with each other using chemical bonds: ionic, metallic, covalent polar or non-polar. In this way, substances are formed, examples of which we will consider in our article.

Simple substances

The processes of interaction between atoms of the same chemical element end with the formation of chemicals called simple. So, coal is formed only by carbon atoms, hydrogen gas is formed by hydrogen atoms, and liquid mercury consists of mercury particles. The concept of a simple substance should not be identified with the concept of a chemical element. For example, carbon dioxide does not consist of simple substances of carbon and oxygen, but of the elements carbon and oxygen. Conventionally, compounds consisting of atoms of the same element can be divided into metals and non-metals. Consider some examples of the chemical properties of such simple substances.

Metals

Based on the position of the metallic element in the periodic system, the following groups can be distinguished: active metals, elements of the main subgroups of the third - eighth groups, metals of secondary subgroups of the fourth - seventh groups, as well as lanthanides and actinides. Metals are simple substances, examples of which we will give below, have the following general properties: thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, plasticity and malleability. Such characteristics are inherent in iron, aluminum, copper and others. With an increase in the serial number in periods, the boiling and melting temperatures, as well as the hardness of metal elements, increase. This is due to the compression of their atoms, that is, a decrease in radius, as well as the accumulation of electrons. All parameters of metals are due internal structure crystal lattice of these compounds. Below we consider chemical reactions, and also give examples of the properties of substances related to metals.

Features of chemical reactions

All metals with an oxidation state of 0 exhibit only the properties of reducing agents. Alkaline and alkaline earth elements interact with water to form chemically aggressive bases - alkalis:

  • 2Na+2H 2 0=2NaOH+H 2

A typical reaction of metals is oxidation. As a result of connection with oxygen atoms, substances of the class of oxides arise:

  • Zn + O 2 \u003d ZnO

These are binary compounds related to complex substances. Examples of basic oxides are oxides of sodium Na 2 O, copper CuO, calcium CaO. They are capable of interacting with acids, as a result, salt and water are found in the products:

  • MgO + 2HCl \u003d MgCl 2 + H 2 O

Substances of classes of acids, bases, salts are complex compounds and exhibit a variety of chemical properties. For example, between hydroxides and acids, a neutralization reaction occurs, leading to the appearance of salt and water. The composition of the salts will depend on the concentration of the reagents: for example, with an excess of acid in the reacting mixture, acid salts, for example, NaHCO 3 - sodium bicarbonate, and a high concentration of alkali causes the formation of basic salts, such as Al (OH) 2 Cl - aluminum dihydroxochloride.

non-metals

The most important non-metallic elements are found in the nitrogen, carbon, and halogen and chalcogen groups. periodic system. Let us give examples of substances related to non-metals: these are sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine. All their physical features are opposite to the properties of metals. They don't spend electricity, poorly transmit heat rays, have low hardness. Interacting with oxygen, non-metals form complex compounds - acid oxides. The latter, reacting with acids, give acids:

  • H 2 O + CO 2 → H 2 CO 3

A typical reaction characteristic of acidic oxides is the interaction with alkalis, leading to the appearance of salt and water.

The chemical activity of non-metals in the period increases, this is due to an increase in the ability of their atoms to attract electrons from others chemical elements. In groups, we observe the opposite phenomenon: non-metallic properties weaken due to the inflation of the volume of the atom due to the addition of new energy levels.

So, we examined the types of chemicals, examples illustrating their properties, position in the periodic system.

General properties of metals.

The presence of valence electrons weakly bound to the nucleus determines the general chemical properties of metals. AT chemical reactions they always act as a reducing agent, simple metal substances never exhibit oxidizing properties.

Getting metals:
- recovery from oxides with carbon (C), carbon monoxide(CO), hydrogen (H2) or more active metal(Al, Ca, Mg);
- recovery from salt solutions with a more active metal;
- electrolysis of solutions or melts of metal compounds - recovery of the most active metals (alkali, alkaline earth metals and aluminum) using electric current.

In nature, metals are found mainly in the form of compounds, only low-active metals are found in the form of simple substances (native metals).

Chemical properties of metals.
1. Interaction with simple substances non-metals:
Most metals can be oxidized with non-metals such as halogens, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen. But most of these reactions require preheating to start. In the future, the reaction can proceed with the release of a large amount of heat, which leads to the ignition of the metal.
At room temperature, reactions are possible only between the most active metals (alkali and alkaline earth) and the most active non-metals (halogens, oxygen). Alkali metals (Na, K) react with oxygen to form peroxides and superoxides (Na2O2, KO2).

a) interaction of metals with water.
At room temperature, alkali and alkaline earth metals interact with water. As a result of the substitution reaction, an alkali (soluble base) and hydrogen are formed: Metal + H2O \u003d Me (OH) + H2
When heated, other metals interact with water, standing in the activity series to the left of hydrogen. Magnesium reacts with boiling water, aluminum - after a special surface treatment, resulting in the formation of insoluble bases - magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide - and hydrogen is released. Metals in the activity range from zinc (inclusive) to lead (inclusive) interact with water vapor (i.e. above 100 C), while oxides of the corresponding metals and hydrogen are formed.
Metals to the right of hydrogen in the activity series do not interact with water.
b) interaction with oxides:
active metals interact in a substitution reaction with oxides of other metals or non-metals, reducing them to simple substances.
c) interaction with acids:
Metals located to the left of hydrogen in the activity series react with acids to release hydrogen and form the corresponding salt. Metals to the right of hydrogen in the activity series do not interact with acid solutions.
A special place is occupied by the reactions of metals with nitric and concentrated sulfuric acids. All metals except noble ones (gold, platinum) can be oxidized by these oxidizing acids. As a result of these reactions, the corresponding salts will always be formed, water and the product of nitrogen or sulfur reduction, respectively.
d) with alkalis
Metals that form amphoteric compounds (aluminum, beryllium, zinc) are capable of reacting with melts (with the formation of medium salts of aluminates, beryllates or zincates) or alkali solutions (with the formation of the corresponding complex salts). All reactions will produce hydrogen.
e) In accordance with the position of the metal in the activity series, reactions of reduction (displacement) of a less active metal from a solution of its salt by another more active metal are possible. As a result of the reaction, a salt of a more active and simple substance is formed - a less active metal.

General properties of nonmetals.

There are much fewer non-metals than metals (22 elements). However, the chemistry of non-metals is much more complicated due to the greater filling of the external energy level of their atoms.
The physical properties of non-metals are more diverse: among them are gaseous (fluorine, chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen), liquids (bromine) and solids, which are very different from each other in melting point. Most non-metals do not conduct electricity, but silicon, graphite, germanium have semiconductor properties.
Gaseous, liquid and some solid non-metals (iodine) have a molecular structure crystal lattice, the remaining non-metals have an atomic crystal lattice.
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen under normal conditions exist in the form of diatomic molecules.
Many non-metal elements form several allotropic modifications of simple substances. So oxygen has two allotropic modifications - oxygen O2 and ozone O3, sulfur has three allotropic modifications - rhombic, plastic and monoclinic sulfur, phosphorus has three allotropic modifications - red, white and black phosphorus, carbon - six allotropic modifications - soot, graphite, diamond , carbine, fullerene, graphene.

Unlike metals, which exhibit only reducing properties, non-metals in reactions with simple and complex substances can act both as a reducing agent and as an oxidizing agent. According to their activity, non-metals occupy a certain place in the series of electronegativity. Fluorine is considered the most active non-metal. He only shows oxidizing properties. Oxygen is in second place in terms of activity, nitrogen is in third, then halogens and other non-metals. Hydrogen has the lowest electronegativity among non-metals.

Chemical properties of non-metals.

1. Interaction with simple substances:
Nonmetals interact with metals. In such a reaction, metals act as a reducing agent, non-metals as an oxidizing agent. As a result of the reaction of the compound, binary compounds are formed - oxides, peroxides, nitrides, hydrides, salts of oxygen-free acids.
In the reactions of non-metals with each other, a more electronegative non-metal exhibits the properties of an oxidizing agent, a less electronegative one - the properties of a reducing agent. As a result of the compound reaction, binary compounds are formed. It must be remembered that non-metals can exhibit variable oxidation states in their compounds.
2. Interaction with complex substances:
a) with water:
Under normal conditions, only halogens interact with water.
b) with oxides of metals and non-metals:
Many non-metals can react at high temperatures with oxides of other non-metals, reducing them to simple substances. Non-metals to the left of sulfur in the electronegativity series can also interact with metal oxides, reducing metals to simple substances.
c) with acids:
Some non-metals can be oxidized with concentrated sulfuric or nitric acids.
d) with alkalis:
Under the action of alkalis, some non-metals can undergo dismutation, being both an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent.
For example, in the reaction of halogens with alkali solutions without heating: Cl2 + 2NaOH = NaCl + NaClO + H2O or when heated: 3Cl2 + 6NaOH = 5NaCl + NaClO3 + 3H2O.
e) with salts:
When interacting, being strong oxidizing agents, they exhibit reducing properties.
Halogens (except fluorine) enter into substitution reactions with solutions of salts of hydrohalic acids: a more active halogen displaces a less active halogen from a salt solution.
