N Flashcards
group one metals
-alkali metals found in group one of the periodic table
-gain electrons to get a full outer shell
properties of group one metals
-soft
-have low density
-low melting point
reactivity trend of group one metals
-amount of shells increase down group
-atomic distance between nuclei and electron is weaker
melting point and boiling
decrease down the group
alkali metal +water
metal hydroxide + hydrogen in form of flames
alkali + oxygen reaction
metal oxides e.g. LiO2
group 7 halogens
fluorine
chlorine
bromine
iodine
flourine properties
-yellow gas
-most reactive as top of group
chlorine
-poisionus green gas at room temp
bromine
poisonous orange liquid at room temp
iodine
-grey solid
least reactive
diatomic molecules
-each halogen forms a covelant bond
halide
-when a halogen gains an electron
displacement reactions
when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element
