Questions and Answers

Based on the provided data for Group 1 elements, what general trend can be observed regarding melting points as you move down the group?

  • Melting points remain constant as you move down the group.
  • Melting points generally decrease as you move down the group. (correct)
  • There is no discernible trend in melting points as you move down the group.
  • Melting points increase as you move down the group.

Using the given data, which element would you predict to have the highest boiling point?

  • Rubidium
  • Sodium (correct)
  • Lithium
  • Potassium

How does the reactivity of Group 1 elements generally change as you move down the group?

  • Reactivity increases. (correct)
  • Reactivity fluctuates randomly.
  • Reactivity remains constant.
  • Reactivity decreases.

Considering the relationship between atomic size and reactivity in Group 1 elements, which statement is most accurate?
