35
Q

What are the observations when potassium (alkaline metal) is added to water?

  • heat given off
  • gas produced
  • gets smaller then disappears

Q

What do Alkaline metals have to be stored with?

A

Oil because they react with water

37

What increases as you go down the Alkaline metals group?

A

Reactivity

39
Q

Alkaline metals react with …. To form…..

A

1 Water
2 to form an alkali (hence their name) and hydrogen
