Chemical Properties Flashcards
What are the CHEMICAL properties of Group I (Alkali) Metals?
React violently with water to form hydrogen gas and an alkali
React explosively with acids to form hydrogen gas and a salt
Burn in oxygen (and air) with brightly coloured flames to form bases
What are the CHEMICAL properties of Group II (Alkaline Earth) Metals?
React with water to form hydrogen gas and an alkali
React violently with acids to form hydrogen gas and a salt
Burn in oxygen (and air) with brightly coloured flames forming bases
What are the CHEMICAL properties of Transition Metals?
Usually react (slowly) with water to form hydrogen and an alkali
Usually react with acids to form hydrogen and a salt
Form coloured compounds
What are the CHEMICAL properties of Group VII (Halogen) elements?
Form diatomic molecules
Are reactive non-metals
React with oxygen, usually forming acidic oxides
What are the CHEMICAL properties of Group 0/8 (Noble Gases) elements?
Unreactive
