Properties of metals
Good conductors, shiny when cut, high melting points
Properties of non-metals
Bad conductors,Low melting/ Boiling points, soft
Properties of metalloids
Properties of both metals and non metals
Amount of electrons in last shell
Group number
Number of shells
Period
Group 1 storage
In oil
Why are group 1 elements stored in oil ?
To keep away from air and water as they are highly reactive
Group 1 reactivity
Increase going down the group
Group 1 reacting with water produces
Metal hydroxides
Are metal hydroxides alkaline or acid ?
Alkaline
Group 1 melting points
Decrease going down the group
Group one hardness
Softer going down the group
Group 1 density
Overall low
Gas produced when group 1 reacts with water
Hydrogen
Safety for group 1 reactions with water
Plastic safety screen, use tweezers, thick rubber gloves
Lithium reaction with water
Floats, fizzes, moves
Sodium reaction with water
Floats, fizzes, moves, melts
Potassium reaction with water
Float, fizz, move, melt, burn
Lithium reaction with oxygen
Tarnishes slowly
