Elements of Group 1 and group 2 in the periodic
table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state
<u>Explanation</u>:
The metals in group 1 of periodic table consisting of 'alkali metals' which include lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, Francium and caesium. They are highly reactive because they have low ionisation energy and larger radius. The group 2 metals consist of 'alkaline earth metals' which include calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, radium and magnesium. These alkaline earth metal have +2 oxidation number, hence are highly reactive.
These both group metals are mostly reactive and so are never found in a free state. When they are exposed to air they would immediately react with oxygen. Hence, are stored in oils to avoid oxidation.
1 hectoliter is 26.4172
1 kiloliter is 264.172
The balanced equation for reaction of solid cesium with liquid water
= 2Cs + 2H2O → 2CsOH + H2
cesium react with liquid water to produce cesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas
that is 2 moles of Cs react 2 moles of H2O to form 2 moles CsOH and 1 of hydrogen gas
