groups halogens and noble gasses CP2 Flashcards
where are alkali metals found on the periodic table
in group 1
(the first column)
what are the physical properties of an alkali metal
non-metals
7 outer electrons
poor conductors
poisonous
diotomic-exist in airs
what happens when you add lithium to water
just fizzes
what happens when you add sodium to water
heat is released and fizzes
what happens when you add potassium to water
the metal will self ignite
how many electrons do alkali metals have in there outer shell
7
explain reactivity in group 1
as you move down the column the group gets more reactive
what is the balanced equation for sodium hydroxide
2 Na ( s ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) → 2 NaOH ( aq ) + H 2 ( g )
where are the halogens found on the periodic table
in group 7
what is a halogen
reactive non-metal
why are halogens dangerous
they are toxic
