What is the trend down the group and across a period for Groups 1 and 2?
Elements become more metallic down a group and elements become less metallic across a period
1 of 13
What are the properties of s-block elements?
Soft, weak metals with low melting points. Too reactive with water and oxygen
2 of 13
What is the definition of the first ionisation enthalpy?
The energy needed to remove an electron from every atom in one mole of isolated gaseous atoms of the element - a mole of gaseous ions with one positive charge are formed
3 of 13
What is the general trend in ionisation enthalpy across period 3?
The first ionisation enthalpy increases
4 of 13
What are at the troughs and peaks of an ionisation enthalpy graph?
Group 1 elements are at the troughs and Group 0 elements are at the peaks
5 of 13

A metal oxide
6 of 13
What is formed when a Group 2 element reacts with water?
A metal hydroxide and hydrogen
