86
Q

Which group is alkali metals?

A

group 1

87
Q

Which group is alkaline earths?

A

group 2

88
Q

From top to the bottom of the periodic table, does the reactivity increase or decrease for group 1 and 2? And why?

A

increase; Metal atoms have a weak hold on their outer-shell electrons. As you move down a group, extra shells are added and so this hold gets even weaker. This makes the metal more unstable and more reactive.

89
Q

Examples of pure carbon exists in several different forms or allotropes. Name four.

A

amorphous carbon (charcoal), diamond, graphite, buckyballs

90
Q

From top to the bottom of the periodic table, does the reactivity increase or decrease for group 17?

92
Q

As you go down the group 18, does each of the atoms rising rate decrease or increase? (when all of these gases are pumped into balloons, from helium to the atom at the bottom of the group becomes lighter or heavier, becomes easier to rise or harder to rise into the air?)

A

Rising rate decrease

93
Q

Name the separation method that is used to separate noble gases in the air

A

Distillation

94
Q

Explain why helium is used instead of hydrogen in airships

A

Hydrogen is unstable, helium is stable (because it’s a noble gas). Therefore, hydrogen is more flammable than helium.

95
Q

All the noble gases except radon could be used in party balloons but helium is the best. Propose a reason why.

A

Helium is a noble gas with least amount of electrons and neutrons and protons. Therefore, it is more stable and safer and lighter.

A

Silicon dioxide and metal silicates
