Q

why is the melting and boiling point of an alkali metal low?

A

shells filled with electrons of group 1 elements are attracted by weak metallic bond. little heat is required to overcome the forces of attraction

Q

explain the density going down the group

A

moving down the group, the density increases because the increase in mass is greater than the increase in volume

Q

explain the atomic size going down the group

A

going down the group, the atomic size increases because number of shells filled with electrons increases

Q

explain the melting and boiling point going down the group

A

going down the group, the melting and boiling point decreases. this is because going down the group the atomic size increases and the the metallic bond is becoming weaker. little heat is required to overcome the forces of attraction

Q

group 1 elements are very reactive. why?

A

group 1 elements are not stable yet. they’ll donate/lose/share one valence electrons to achiveve stable duplet/octet electron arrangement

16
Q

what happens after the grp 1 element loses its electron?

A

these alkali metals becomes a positive ion with a +1 charge.
exp : Na+, K+

17
Q

changes in chemical properties of alkali metals is from which aspect?

A

reactivity

18
Q

what happens to the reactivity of the group 1 elements going down the group?

A

going down the group, the reactivity increases. this is because it’ll be easier for elements to lose/donate one electrons.

19
Q

what’s another word for *increasing reactivity *?

A

more electropositive

20
Q

Group 1elements can react with?

theres 3 things

A

water, oxygen, chlorine

21
Q

whats the chemical equation for reaction on group 1 elements with water

A

Alkali metal + water—>
alkali + hydrogen

example (unbalanced equation) : Na + H20 –> NAOH (sodium hydroxide) +H2

22
Q

explain the reaction of lithium (Li), an alkali metal, with water

A
  • moves slowly on the surface of water with a “hiss” sounds
  • produces colourless solution
  • the colourless solution turns red litmus paper into blue
23
Q

explain the reaction of sodium (Na), an alkali metal, with water

A
  • moves rapidly on the surface of water with a “hiss” sound
  • burn with yellow flame
  • produces colourless solution
  • the colourless solution turns red litmus paper into blue (alkaline solution)
24
Q

explain the reaction of pottasium (K), an alkali metal, with water

A
  • moves very rapidly on the surface of water with a “hiss” sound
  • burn with purple flame
  • produces colourless solution
  • the colourless solution turns red litmus paper into blue (alkaline solution)
25
Q

what’s the chemical equation of the reaction between alkali metal and oxygen

general equation

A

alkali metal + oxygen —> metal oxide (white solid)

example (unbalanced equation) : Na + O2 –> Na2O

26
Q

can metal oxide (alkali metals that reacted with oxygen) dissolve in water?

A

yes
metal oxide produces alkali when dissolved in water again
Na2O + H2O –> 2NAOH
(balanced equation)

27
Q

does the alkali metal produce hydrogen when dissolve in water? what about metal oxide?

A

yes alkali metal does but however metal oxide does not produce hydrogen
alkali metal : produce alkali + hydrogen
metal oxide : produce alkali only

28
Q

EXPERIMENT
explain the reaction of lithium (Li) with oxygen

A
  • lithium burns slowly with red flame
  • white solid is produced
  • white solid dissolves in water to produce colourless solution
  • colourless solution changes red litmus paper to blue
29
Q

EXPERIMENT
explain the reaction of sodium (Na) with oxygen

A
  • sodium burns brightly with yellow flame
  • white solid is produced
  • white solid dissolves in water to produce colourless solution
  • colourless solution changes red litmus paper to blue
30
Q

EXPERIMENT
explain the reaction of pottasium (K) with oxygen

A
  • pottasium burns very brightly with purple flame
  • white solid is produced
  • white solid dissolves in water to produce colourless solution
  • colourless solution changes red litmus paper to blue
31
Q

other than oxygen and water, gorup 1 elements can also react with ?

A

Chlorine

32
Q

whats the chemical equation for the reaction of group 1 with chlorine

A

alkali metal + chlorine —> metal chloride (white solid)
example (balanced equation) :
2Na + Cl2 –> 2NaCl

33
Q

alkali metals are shiny ____ .

A

grey solid

34
Q

alkali metals when reacted with oxygen and chlorine will produce ____ solid

A

white

35
Q

Can group 1 chloride dissolve in water? if yes, what’s produced?

A

Yes group 1 chloride dissolves in water to produce neutral solution

Note : group 1 oxide and hydroxide produces alkaline solution

36
Q

EXPERIMENT
explain the reaction of lithium (Li) with chlorine

A
  • lithium burns slowly with red flame
  • white solid is produced
37
Q

EXPERIMENT
explain the reaction of sodium (Na) with chlorine

A
  • sodium burns brightly with yellow flame
  • white solid is produced
38
Q

EXPERIMENT
explain the reaction of pottasium (K) with chlorine

A
  • pottasium burns very brightly with purple flame
  • white solid is produced
39
Q

List 2 safety precautions while handling alkali metals

A
  1. store alkali metals in parrafin oil
  2. put on gloves and take alkali metals using a forcep
  3. (extra) use small amounts of alkali metals as they’re very reactive
