    Groups 1 - The Alkali Metals

    Uploaded by

    rudi_z
    The document discusses the properties and reactions of group 1 elements, also known as the alkali metals. It notes that alkali metals include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They are reactive metals that increase in reactivity down the group. When reacted with water, they form alkaline hydroxides and hydrogen gas in an exothermic reaction. The reactivity increases further down the group as the outer shell electron is more weakly held.

    • Different elements have different properties related to
    their position in the Periodic Table

    • WILF
    • Locate the position in the Periodic Table of the alkali
    metals.
    • Recall how the alkali metals react with water and how
    this reaction changes as we travel down the group.
    • Recall whether these reactions are endothermic or
    exothermic.

    Groups 1 and 2
    • Groups 1 and 2 are always found in nature
    combined with other elements.
    • They’re called active metals because of their
    readiness to form new substances with other
    elements.
    • They are all metals except hydrogen, the first
    element in Group 1.
    • Although hydrogen is placed in Group 1, it
    shares properties with the elements in Group
    1 and Group 17.
    Alkali Metals
    • The Group 1 elements have a specific family
    name—alkali metals.
    • All the alkali metals are silvery solids with
    low densities and low
    melting points.
    • These elements increase in
    their reactivity, or tendency
    to combine with other
    substances, as you move
    from top to bottom.

    Group 1 – The alkali metals
    Some facts…
    1) These metals all have ___
    electron in their outer shell

    2) Reactivity increases as you go _______ the group. This is


    because the electrons are further away from the _______
    every time a _____ is added, so they are given up more easily.

    3) They all react with water to form an alkali (hence their


    name) and __________, e.g:
    Potassium + water potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
    2K(s) + 2H2O(l) 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)
