Answer:
- They are highly reactive metals
- They have low electro negativity
- They have low ionization energy
- They don't exist alone in nature
- They have low densities
Explanation:
Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.
Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.
Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.
Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.
Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
The numbers may be off by a few, if you worked it out, since my periodic table is for AP chemistry. Hope this helps!!!
*A & B*
Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.
*C & D*
Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.
*E*
Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.
Answer:
In oxidation reduction reactions, one species gets reduced by taking on electron(s) and another species gets oxidized by losing electrons. They also flow by a wire
Explanation:
Answer:
An atom gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase; therefore the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. In general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to the right of a certain period.
