lkali metals practise questions A How do the group 1 metals react with water? lithium, sodium, pottassium all react strongly with water. What does the reaction produce? Hydrogen gas bubbles off a metal hydroxide is formed which is a strong AlKali Why are group 1 metals stored in oil? To prevent they from reacting with the oxygen and water vapour in the air. What happens to the reactivity as you go down the group? Group 1 metals increases down the group as there are more shells. Why are they called Alkali metals? because they form an Alkali Solution in water. Why do they get more reactive as they go downt group? The atoms become larger, and the outer electron is farther from the nucleus, this mak it easier for the outer electron to be lost. What reacts with the metal? Hydrogen
