Some properties of the Group I elements are given in the table. element melting point / °C boiling point / °C density in g / cm3 lithium 0.53 sodium 0.97 potassium 0.86 rubidium 1.53 caesium 1.88 Predict the boiling point of potassium. Which Group I elements are liquids at 50 °C? How, in general, does the density of the Group I elements change down the group? Complete the following sentences about the Group I elements using words from the list below. crystallising decreases hard increases melting similarity soft The Group I elements are relatively metals which show a trend in point and reaction with water. The reactivity with water down the group. The equation for the reaction of sodium with water is given below. 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 Write a word equation for this reaction. Chlorine reacts with sodium to form sodium chloride. Complete the equation for this reaction. Na + Cl 2 → NaCl Chlorine is a diatomic gas. What do you understand by the term diatomic ? Describe the arrangement and motion of the molecules in chlorine gas. arrangement motion Draw a diagram to show the arrangement of the electrons in a molecule of chlorine. Show only the outer electrons.
