Topic 6 Periodic Table Groups - Definitions (Higher) - PMT Extended

?
Alkali Metals
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table. They are typically soft and have relatively low melting points.
1 of 10
Displacement
A chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.
2 of 10
Halides
The ions formed by halogen atoms when they gain an electron. They have a 1- charge.
3 of 10
Halogens
The elements in Group 7 of the periodic table. The halogens gain an electron to form halide ions with a 1- charge. Down the group the halogens get more reactive and have higher melting and boiling points.
4 of 10
Inert
Unreactive. Noble gases are inert due to their stable electronic configuration.
5 of 10
Noble Gases
The elements in Group 0 of the periodic table. They have a stable full outer shell of electrons which makes them very unreactive.
6 of 10
Oxidation
A reaction involving the gain of oxygen. Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
7 of 10
Reactivity Series
A series in which metals are arranged in order of their reactivity. This can be used to predict products from reactions.
8 of 10
Redox Reaction (H)
A reaction in which both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneous.
9 of 10
Reduction
A reaction involving the loss of oxygen. Reduction is the gain of electrons.
