26
Q

Trends in periodic table

Trends in Group 1

A
  • Density increases down the group
  • Melting point decreases down the group
  • React with water to produce metal hydroxide or hydrogen gas
27
Q

Trends in periodic table

Trends in Group 7 - halogens

A
  • When reacted with metals, produces salts
  • Exist as diatoms
  • Non-metallic
  • Color increases in darkness down the group
  • Density increases down the group
  • Reactivity decreases down the group
28
