Group 0-How many electrons are there in the outer shell?
8/Full
Group 0-Do they gain or lose electrons, why?
No, because they have full shells means they are stable and unreactive (inert). They don't bond to form molecules.
Group 0-Does the boiling point increase or decrease as you go down the group?
Increase
Group 1-What are they called?
Alkali metals
Complete the equation-Lithium + Oxygen
-> Lithium oxide
Complete the equation-Lithium + Chlorine
-> Lithium chloride
Complete the equation-Lithium + water
-> Lithium hydroxide + Hydrogen
Group 1-Do the atoms increase or decrease in size?
Increase
Group 1-Is the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus weaker or stronger, why? Do they lose or gain electrons?
Weaker, because the outer electron is further away from the nucleus and there are more shellsshielding the outer electron from the nucleus. They lose the outer electron
Group 1-Does the melting and boiling point increase or decrease as you go down the group?
