Explanation:
Answer:
A. They must be kept separate from moisture and oxygen
Explanation:
Alkali metals refers to a group of chemical elements in the periodic table. It is the common name given to Group 1 elements (excluding hydrogen). They are generally metallic in nature with physical properties like shining lustre, silvery in appearance etc. Alkali metals include lithium, Pottasium, Sodium, Rubidium etc.
One important chemical property of alkali metals is their high reactivity i.e. they tend to react quickly with other substances. For example, alkali metals react vigorously with water to form hydroxides. They also react with oxygen to form oxides. Due to this highly reactive properties, they are kept or stored away from moisture (water) and oxygen (present in air).
The statement which is true about the reactivity of element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ is
it is reactive because it has to lose one electron to have a full outermost energy level.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- <u><em> </em></u>Element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ electron configuration is a sodium metal.
- sodium has one electron in the outermost energy level.
- for sodium to have a full outermost energy level ( 8 electrons) it loses the 1 electron in 3S¹ to form a positively charged ion. (Na⁺)
