Diatomic Elements
Diatomic Elements
Elements that exist naturally as pairs of atoms bonded together.
Reactivity of Alkali Metals
Reactivity of Alkali Metals
Alkali metals (Group 1) become more reactive when moving down the periodic table due to their increasing atomic radius, which makes it easier to lose their single valence electron.

Study Notes
Alkali Metal Reactivity
- Alkali metals (Group 1) exhibit increased reactivity descending the group.
- A larger atomic radius facilitates easier loss of valence electrons.
Chemical Formulas
- Chemical formulas represent elements and their proportions in a compound.
Diatomic Elements
- Certain elements exist as diatomic molecules (two atoms).
- Examples include hydrogen (Hâ‚‚), oxygen (Oâ‚‚), and nitrogen (Nâ‚‚).
Formation of Ions
- Ions are atoms with a net charge due to electron gain or loss.
- Cations are positively charged ions (formed by electron loss).
- Anions are negatively charged ions (formed by electron gain).
Gas Tests
- Specific tests identify different gases.
- Hydrogen burns with a distinctive "pop" sound.
- Oxygen relights a glowing splint.
- Carbon dioxide turns limewater cloudy.
Solar System Components
- Our solar system includes the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and smaller objects.
- The Sun is the central star, providing light and heat.
- Planets orbit the Sun, categorized as:
- Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars): Rocky and smaller
- Outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune): Gaseous and larger
- Moons are natural satellites orbiting planets.
- Asteroids are small, rocky objects, primarily located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
- Comets are icy bodies with tails that appear when approaching the Sun.
Models of the Universe
- The geocentric model placed Earth at the center of the universe.
Variables in Experiments
- Scientific investigation involves defining independent, dependent, and controlled variables.
- Experiments are designed to test hypotheses.
