Group 1-The Alkali Metals 0.0 / 5 ? ChemistryOrganic and Green ChemistryThe Periodic TableGCSEAQA Created by: SimanaCreated on: 28-10-15 12:11 What are Alkali Metals? Silvery solids 1 of 16 How are they stored and handled? Stored in oil and handled with forceps (they burn the skin) 2 of 16 What happens as you go down Group 1? The Alkali metals become more reactive 3 of 16 Why? because the outer E is more easily lost because it's further from the Nucleus 4 of 16 Important Alkali Metals Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium 5 of 16 Why are alkali metals V.reactive and have similar properties? They have one outer E 6 of 16 What bond do Alkali metal form and with what? Form Ionic Compounds with Non-metals 7 of 16 Why don't Alkali metals form Covalent Bonds? They don't want to share they want to get rid of their outer E completly 8 of 16 Why do they form Ionic compounds with Non-metals? They are keen to lose their one outer E to form a 1+ ion. 9 of 16 What do Alkali metals produce when they form ionic bonds with non-metals? White compounds 10 of 16 When these white compounds dissolve in water what do they form? Colourless solutions. 11 of 16 When they are put in water how do they react? Vigorously 12 of 16 What do they do? Float, move and fizz 13 of 16 What do they produce in water? Hydrogen 14 of 16 What indicates Hydrogen? A lighted splint, produces the notorius 'squeaky pop' as the Hydrogen ignites 15 of 16 What do Alkali Metals form in water? Hydroxides that dissolve in water to give alkaline solutions? 16 of 16
