Group 1

    Cards (8)

    • Metal + water -> ?
      Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
    • How is the outer electron lost more easily?
      As you go down group 1 the atoms radis increases. This means the force of attraction between nucleus and electron decreases so outer electron is lost more easily
    • Lithium + water -> lithium hydroxide + hydrogen
      Li + H20 -> LiOH + H2
    • What is balanced equation if lithium reaction with water
      2Li + 2H20 -> 2LiOH + H2
    • Group 1 metals are soft, low density(reason why they float above water in reactions) and low melting point
    • As you go down group 1:
      • Metals become more reactive
      • Melting and boiling points decrease
    • Why does reactivity increase in group 1
      number of electron shells in each atoms increase and outer electrons gets further from nucleus and it's attraction to nucleus decreases and is easily lost
    • How does pottasium react?
      Forms ball,Catches on fire with a lilac flame,
