Iron is a transition element. Potassium is a GroupI element. Iron and potassium have the same type of bonding. Name and describe the type of bonding in these two elements. name description  Transition elements and GroupI elements have some similar physical properties. They can both: ● be hammered into a shape ● conduct electricity ● be stretched into wires. Name the term used to describe the ability of elements to be hammered into a shape. Describe what happens to the particles in iron when it is hammered into a shape. Suggest why copper, rather than other transition elements, is used for wires which conduct electricity. Transition elements are harder and stronger than GroupI elements. Describe how two other physical properties of transition elements are different from those of GroupI elements.  Chemical properties of some GroupI elements are shown in the table. element reaction with cold water reaction with oxygen flame test colour lithium ● steadily effervesces ● forms a colourless solution very slowly forms an oxide layer red sodium ● strongly effervesces ● forms a colourless solution slowly forms an oxide layer potassium ● very strongly effervesces ● forms a colourless solution quickly forms an oxide layer rubidium ruby red Add to the table: ● the flame test colours for sodium and potassium ● the predicted reactions of rubidium with water and with oxygen.  Name the gas produced when GroupI elements react with water. Name the solution formed when potassium reacts with water. Predict the pH of the colourless solution formed when potassium reacts with water. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of sodium with oxygen. Iron is a typical transition element. It is the catalyst used in the Haber process. Write the equation for the reaction that occurs in the Haber process. State the temperature and pressure used in the Haber process. Include units. temperature pressure
