Q
The properties of elements change as you go down a group, what does this mean? Give an example..
A
The way ELEMENTS REACT with OTHER SUBSTANCES changes as you go down a group.
Eg. The group 1 mets all react with water to make hydrogen gas,
But elements at the bottom of group 1 react more violently than elements at the top.
Another example - the non-metals in group 7 behave in the opposite way to the metals in Group 1.
They get less reactive as you go down the group.
