Back

Sodium (Na) is known for being malleable and a good conductor of electricity.

Front

What is the name of group number 1 in the periodic table?

Back

Group number 1 is known as the alkali metals.

Front

What are the properties of alkali metals?

Back

Alkali metals are highly reactive, have one electron in their outer shell, and are soft.

Front

What is the name of group number 2 in the periodic table?

Back

Group number 2 is known as the alkaline earth metals.

Front

What are the characteristics of alkaline earth metals?

Back

Alkaline earth metals are reactive, have two electrons in their outer shell, and are harder than alkali metals.

Front

What best describes noble gases?

Back

Noble gases are found in group 18, are very unreactive, and have a full valence shell.

Front

What is the significance of a full valence shell in noble gases?

Back

A full valence shell makes noble gases stable and unreactive.

Front

How do metals generally behave in terms of conductivity?

Back

Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity.

Front

What is the trend in reactivity for alkali metals as you move down the group?

Back

Reactivity increases as you move down the group in alkali metals.
