Groups Flashcards
Group 1, reactions between lithium and water
Lithium + water => lithium hydroxide + hydrogen,
fizzing ( gas produced)
Group 1, reactions between potassium and water
Potassium + water => flame (purple), metal disappears,
fizzing ( gas produced ), flame
General equation for group 1
Metal + water => Metal + Hydrogen
Alkali . Hydroxide . Gas
Group 1, similarities between Rb and Cs ( reaction within water )
Flame and exposition
Period number
How many shells element has
Group number
How many electrons on the outer shell
Atomic mass
Protons + Neutrons
Group 1, Properties of alkali
- soft metals
- react quickly with water
- lower melting points than typical
- shiny when cut , dull quickly ( because react with oxygen)
Group 1, Conduct electricity and heat typical metals and alkali metals?
Yes
Diatomic is
goes in pairs
Group 1, when metal react with oxygen what produces?
Metal oxide
Group 1, test for hydrogen gas
Lit splint gives squeaky pop
Group 1, exam q: describe how segmentation is carried out
- water into the tank
- solid full to the bottom of the tank
Group 1, exam q: how you would separate pure water from salty water. How you prove it is pure water ?
! Use Distillation
- heat water
- boils at 100 degrees
- evaporates water
- salt left
Group 1, symbol for hydroxide
OH
Group 1, (fill the gap) the alkali metals get more reactive … the group
Down
Group 1, (fill the gap) the outer electron gets … … from the nucleus ( distance )
Further away
Group 0, colour at the room temperature
Colourless
