The answer is hydroxides.
The elements of the group IA are termed as alkali metals, because their hydroxides are alkaline.
<span>The alkali metals and hydrogen are reactive because they have only one electron to give in order to complete their valence shell. It is easier to give that one electron so when given the opportunity they will. This means they will react with anything polar or willing to take an electron.</span>
The formula of density is mass / volume
This means that
- high mass, low volume = high density
- high mass, high volume = so-so
- low mass, high volume = low density
From the graph shown,
D has the lowest density because it has low mass yet high volume.
Answer:
This is because, within a period or family of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell.
