Study Notes
Unit 2: Properties of Materials
- Unit focuses on the properties of materials, specifically those in Group 1 of the periodic table.
Previous Knowledge
- Students should already be familiar with the periodic table of elements.
- Key elements, including Magnesium, are mentioned for further study.
Group 1 of the Periodic Table
- Group 1 elements are called alkali metals.
- Hydrogen is the lightest element with an atomic number of 1.
- Alkali metals include Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium.
- Alkali metals are silvery, soft, and not very dense, easily cut with a butter knife.
Trends in Group 1
