Explanation:
All the elements of group 1 in the periodic table are known as alkali metals. These are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (fr).
Characteristics of alkali metals are as follows.
- Alkali metals are soft and can be cut with a knife.
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
- They have only 1 electron in their outermost sub-shell.
- They are very reactive.
- Alkali metals are ionic in nature.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
272.43 K or -0.718°C
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
The initial pressure,P1 as 761 mmHg
Initial temperature, T1 as 0.00°C which is equivalent to 273.15 K
Final pressure as 759 mmHg
We are required to calculate the final temperature;
According to pressure law, the pressure of a gas and absolute temperature are directly proportional at constant volume.
That is; Pα T
Therefore, at varying pressure and temperature,

To get final temperature;



Therefore, the final temperature will be 272.43 K or -0.718°C
The melting point of gallium is 85.59°F (29.77°C).
