    Study Notes

    Introduction to s, p, and d Block Elements

    • Describes physical and chemical properties of elements in s, p, and d blocks.
    • Aids in identifying trends and patterns in the periodic table.

    Group 1 Elements

    • All Group 1 elements are metals; hydrogen is an exception as a nonmetal.
    • Exhibits low densities in comparison to most metals.
    • Valence shell electron configuration of ns1, leading to high reactivity.

    Sodium and Potassium Salts

    • Sodium occurs naturally in salts like NaCl (rock salt) and Na2B4O7·10H2O (borax).
    • Potassium salts include KCl (sylvite) and KCl·MgCl2·6H2O (carnallite).
    • Alkali metals possess a lustrous appearance.
    • High electrical and thermal conductivity characterizes these metals.
    • Softness increases as one moves down the group.
    • Melting points decrease down the group.
    • Alkali metals consistently exhibit an oxidation number of +1 in compounds.
    • Most compounds formed are stable ionic solids.
