    their location and family relation to the period table. The alkaline metals are a reactive group of metals and combine with other elements so easily that they are not found on earth in the form of their free metal. They are seen in nature in the form of ionic compounds like calcium carbonated and this occurs naturally in limestone etc. Alkaline earth metals…

    element for most of the people at the moment of looking to a periodic table, including oxygen and hydrogen. Because its frequently related with bones and milk, which are, in fact rich in calcium. However, calcium has other interesting properties and functions (besides those already mentioned), as an alkaline earth metal, as cation, Ca+2, and as an important part of our biological make up. I will try to show in detail these amazing chemical properties about calcium. Calcium (Ca) belongs to…

    These families, shown and labeled in figure 2, include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, non-metals, metalloids, halogen gases, noble gases, lanthanides (or rare earth metals), and actinides (or rare earth metals). The first family includes group 1 on the periodic table. These metals are extremely reactive as they have 1 electron in their outer orbits. Hydrogen is included in this group because it also has 1 electron in its outer orbit and shares the reactive traits of the…

    Recently in class we have watched other scientists conduct experiments and show how six elements ( Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium ) reacted if they were added to water. Each scientist had did this experiment on each element except Francium so, we inferred that Francium had the worst reaction and must be dangerous. So because of curiosity, we have conducted the same lad to see how these elements reacts ourselves. In this lab, my group and I had to examine chemical…

    They get their name because their metals or oxides dissolve when placed in water and then become alkaline solutions. For this reason, these elements are rarely found in their natural state in nature and more commonly found as ionic compounds. These metals are solid at room temperature but have a low melting point and are very soft. An example of this would be potassium which can be cut with a knife. However, these metals are extremely reactive with water. When placed in water they produce…

    electrons are in a d orbital. The next block is the p block. This block in the periodic table contains a variety of different elements. It contains Metals, Metalloids, Noble Gases, and Halogens. The reason these elements are all in this block is because their valence electrons are in a p orbital. The last block is the f block. This block contains Lanthanides and Actinides. The weird thing about this block is because it is separated from the rest of the periodic table. The reason is not any…
