🗑

The shiny surface of sodium tarnishes []er than that of lithium, while sodium tarnishes [] than potassium;   quicker--slower; this shows the increasing []ty of the metals as we go down the group   reactivity--.    
🗑
Because, the alkali metals are so []e, care has to be taken when using them   reactive--. They must not be t[]ed as they will react with [] in [] on the []   touched--water--sweat--skin--. G[]es may be used and g[]s should be worn   gloves--goggles--.

🗑
The relative reactivity of halogens can be shown by looking at [] reactions   displacement--.      
🗑
|Displacement Reactions| When chorine (gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the [] takes the place of the [] because its more [] and displaces [] from the [] [].   chlorine--bromine--reactive--bromine--sodium bromide--. The solution turns brown, the brown colour being the []d []. The chlorine has gone to form [] []   displace bromine--sodium chloride--. chlorine + sodium bromide -->   sodium chloride + bromine.

🗑
Electrons are contained in s[]s around the []s, also called []y l[]s   shells--nucleus--energy levels. A shell (or [] level) fills with electrons across a []   energy--period-- (thus elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, this number being the group number).    
🗑
Elements in the same [] have the same number of electrons in their outer shell and this number is the [] number   group--group--.      
🗑

🗑
If one knows the charges on the ions in an []ic c[]d, one can work out its formula   ionic--compound--. To do so, simply balance b[]e the positive and negative []es: e.g. calcium has ion Ca^2+ while chlorine has ion Cl^-, meaning the formula is []   balance--charges--CaCl2[ss]--.    
🗑
If one has the formula of an []ic c[]d and the charge of one of the two ions, one can work out the charge of the other ion   ionic--compound--. To do so, simply look at what b[]es the c[]es: eg. take Na2O, knowing a sodium ion is Na^+ - the oxygen ion must be []   balaces--charges-- O^2- --.
