6 Elements of Group 18
Helium Neon Argon Krypton Xenon Radon
2 Other Names for Group 18
Noble Gas
Inert Gas
Why are -Elements of group 18- monoatomic gas?
Atoms have achieved stable duplet or octet electron arrangement
Atoms do not share, receive or donates electron with other atoms
Change in size of atomic radius / atomic size going down group 18
Number of electrons increase
Number of shell occupied with electron increases
Atomic size of atom increase
Change in melting/boiling point going down group 18
Size of atom increase
Forces of attraction between atoms become stronger
More heat energy is required to overcome forces of attraction
Melting/boiling point Increase
2 Uses of Helium
Used to fill weather baloons
Used in oxygen tanks of diver
Use of Neon
Used in advertising board light
2 Uses of Argon
used to fill in electric bulbs
used to provide an inert atmosphere for high temperature welding
2 Uses of Krypton
Used in Camera Flashlight
Used in Lasers for eye retina treatment
2 Uses of Xenon
Used in lighthouse lamps
Used for anesthesia
Use of Radon
Used to treat cancer
6 Elements of Group 1
Lithium Sodium Potassium Rubidium Caesium Francium
Another name for Group 1
Alkali Metals
Change in size of atom going down group 1
Number of electrons Increase
Number of shells filled with electron increases
Size of atom increase
Change in Melting/Boiling point going down group 1
Size of atom increases
Forces of attraction between atoms becomes weaker
Less heat energy is required to overcome forces of attraction
Melting/boiling Point decreases
Comparison of Boiling/Melting Point of Group 1 Compared to other metal
Lower melting/boiling point compared to other metals
4 Characteristics of Alkali Metals
Grey shiny surface at room temperature
Soft metals
Low Density
Float on water
Change in reactivity going down group 1
Size of atom increases
Distance between nucleus of atom and valence electron becomes further
Forces of attraction between nucleus and valence electron become weaker
Valence electron is easier to donate
Reactivity increase
Arrangement of Periodic Table Of Elements
ascending order of proton number
3 Properties of Caesium and Rubidium
