The alkali metals all react with water. which is the most reactive metal?

1 answer:

8 0

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.

How do the properties of compounds often compare with the properties of the elements that make them

const2013 [10]

The properties of a compound are nothing like the properties of th elements that combine to make it.

sodium chloride,NaCl, table salt, is a white cubic crystal, stable ionic compound, soluble in water
sodium is a soft metal, very reactive with water and air
chlorine is a yellow green gas that is poisonous and very reactive.

carbon dioxide, CO2, is a clear, colorless gas that puts out fires, plants use but we breath out.
carbon is a black solid, or a diamond
oxygen is a clear colorless gas that is needed for burning and breathing.
