what groups are alkali metals in
1
physical properties of alkali metals
-low melting+boiling points
-very soft
what compounds do alkali metals form
ionic
reactivity of alkali metals
-highly reactive
-get more reactive as you go down
what happens when alkali metals react with cold water
-react vigorously
-produces hydrogen and hydroxide of the metal
what group are halogens in
7
physical propeties of halogens
-melting and boiling points increase as you go down
reactivity of halogens
decreases going down
what happens when halogens react with some metals?
-make metal halides
eg. sodium+chlorine->sodium chloride
what happens when halogens react with hydrogen
-make hydrogen halides
-eg.hydrogen+chlorine->hydrogen chloride
what group are noble gasses in
0
electrons on noble gasses
full outer shell
reactivity with noble gasses
dont react with much at all
-basically inert
monatomic
all made up of single atom
propety of noble gasses to dk with heat
highly flammable
used of noble gasses
argon in lightbulbs+flash photos
helium in baloons
patterns and properties of noble gasses
boiling and melting point snd density increase as you go down
