The alkali metals make up Group 1 of the periodic table. This family consists of the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr, respectively). Group one elements share common characteristics. They are all soft, silver metals. Due to their low ionization energy, these metals have low melting points and are highly reactive. The reactivity of this family increases as you move down the table. Alkali metals are noted for how vigorously they react with water. Due to this, they are often stored in mineral oil and are not found in their elemental forms in nature. These characteristics can be explained by examining the electronic structure of each element in this group. Alkali metals have one valence electron. They readily give up this electron to assume the noble gas configuration as a cation. This makes the elements in this group highly reactive.hope this helps you ok.
Sublimation. Sublimation is the change of a solid direct to gas or vapour without becoming liquid
A negativley charged ion is the answer
Answer:
option A is correct ( sodium, calcium and barium)
Explanation:
Given compounds:
Sodium chloride , calcium sulfide, barium oxide
We know that metals form positive ions. In order to solve the problem we must identify the metals from given compounds.
Na⁺Cl⁻
Ca²⁺S²⁻
Ba²⁺O²⁻
We can see that sodium, calcium and barium contain positive charges.
Thus option A is correct.
Because sodium have one valance electron. When it combine with chlorine sodium lose its one electron to complete the octet and chlorine accept it to complete its octet. Thus sodium form positive ion and chlorine form negative ion.
Similarly barium and calcium are present in group 2. Both have two valance electron. When they lose them cation are formed.
Other option are incorrect because,
Option B have sulfur and oxygen which are anion.
Option C have chlorine which is also anion
Option D have chlorine, sulfur and oxygen that are anions.
