Does anyone know the properties of group 1 on the periodic table?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

Describe the characteristics that identify a sample of matter as being a substance.

ollegr [7]

No matter how big or little a material is, its properties remain the same. Size, form, color, and mass are the qualities that distinguish a material from non-substances. All of these qualities, including size, shape, color, and mass, can be seen and measured. Some characteristics are physical, while others are chemical. Physical characteristics include mass, volume, density, and color. Viscosity and solubility are examples of chemical qualities.

Balance the following equation:

Firdavs [7]

Answer: a) $2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O$

b) 1 mole of $SO_2$ is produced.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The skeletal equation is:

$K_2CrO_4+Na_2SO_3+HCl\rightarrow KCl+Na_2SO_4+CrCl_3 +H_2O$
