Properties of Group 1
Very reactive - stored under oil Low density Soft - can cut with knife Burn in air to form oxides Rect with water - forms hydroxides
Properties of group 2
Form many compounds
Have a +2 charge
Atoms are smaller than alkaline metals
Properties of Group 7
Found in bleaches, disinfectants and salt
Non-metals
Form ions with a -1 charge
Highly reactive
Group 8
Used to make lighted signs, refrigerants and lasers.
Not reactive
