Question
Answer
What do elements present in group I of the periodic table have in common   They all have one electron on their outer shell and they have similar chemical properties  
🗑
What are group I elements called   Alkali metals  
🗑
Name some properties of the alkali metals   Soft, shiny with low densitites  
🗑
Name the first three alkali metals in group I   Lithium, Sodium and Potassium  
🗑
Alkali metals react with oxygen to form what   Oxides  
🗑
If lithium is burned in the presence of oxygen, what is formed   Lithium oxide  
🗑
If you cut sodium with a knife what happens   It is initially shiny but then it reacts with the oxygen in the air and goes dull. All group 1 metals react this way  
🗑
Why is it necessary to store sodium and othre group 1 elements under oil   Because it is so reactive  
🗑
Does reactivity increase or decrease as you go down the alkali metals in group 1   Increase  
🗑
Why is potassium more reactive than lithium   Because potassium has more electrons, it has more shells and therefore the negatively charged electrons are further away from the positively charged protons. The forces holding them together are less and therefore they beak away easier  
🗑
What is formed when alkali metals react with water   hydroxides and hydrogen gas  
🗑
Sodium reacts in water to form what   Sodium hydroxide and hydrogen  
🗑
What is lithium used for   Batteries  
🗑
Where would you use sodium   Street lighting  
🗑
Where would you use potassium   Fertilisers  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
