I’m not 100% sure, but I think hydrogen gas is also produced :)
Wait hold up do you live in Wilson county????
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.
Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.
Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.
As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
<span>Balancing is making sure there are the same number of atoms on either side of the reaction.
Pb(NO3)2 + Li2SO4--> PbSO4 + LiNO3
There are 2 NO3 groups and 2 Li on the right side, need 2 on the left side.
Need a coefficient of 2 for LiNO3
