    Study Notes

    Alkali Metals

    • Alkali metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
    • Alkali metals are easily oxidized and are stored in oil to prevent this reaction.
    • Alkali metals react with water to form alkali hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
    • Alkali metals only form +1 ions.

    Halogens

    • Halogens are non-metals with 7 electrons in their outer shell.
    • They form -1 ions.
    • They exist as diatomic molecules.
    • Halogens have low melting and boiling points that increase as you move down the group.
    • Their reactivity decreases as you move down the group.
    • A halogen can displace a less reactive halogen from a compound in a displacement reaction.
    • Fluorine is the most reactive halogen, and Astatine is the least reactive.
    • Reactivity increases down Group 1 because the outer shell electrons are further from the nucleus, leading to weaker attraction and easier loss of an electron.
    • Reactivity decreases down Group 7 because the outer shell electrons are further from the nucleus, leading to weaker attraction for an incoming electron.

    Transition Metals

    • Transition metals are found between Group 2 and 3 on the periodic table.
    • They are lustrous (shiny), hard, strong, have high density, are ductile (can be drawn into wires), malleable (can bend into shape), and good conductors of heat and electricity.
    • Transition metals have high melting and boiling points.
    • Most transition metals are not magnetic.
    • Transition metals are not very reactive.
    • They form colorful compounds and can form ions with various charges.
