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.

What type of compound is fe3n2

Shkiper50 [21]

Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.

Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.

Can pressure affect the solubility of a substance in solution ? Explain

Tema [17]

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.
