Transition metals vs group 1 metals Flashcards
1
Q
How are transitional metals different to other metals?
A
Higher melting points Higher densities Greater strength Greater hardness Forms ions with different charges Forms coloured compounds
2
Q
Reacting with oxygen
A
Group 1 reacts very quickly with oxygen in the air at room temp
Most transitional elements act slowly or not at all
3
Q
Reactions with water
A
Group 1 reacts quite vigorously with cold water
Transitional elements react slowly or not at all
4
Q
Reacting with halogens
A
Group 1 reacts vigorously with group 7, as they complete each other’s outer shells
Transitional metals don’t react as much
