The chemical elements are divided into two broad groups, the metals and the non-metals. In this experiment, you will examine some members of the metal group and identify similarities and differences in their physical and chemical properties. Metals are the elements that are found in the left of the periodic table with high electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals lose electrons to create positive ion charges. Metals have a unique shine, are prone to forming, have a high tendency to form cations, and combine with oxygen to give mostly basic oxides. This experiment investigated the properties of metals by seeing the reactivity of metals. The metals used in this experiment were lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. What was the first chemical change observed in the lab? Explain. In this experiment, lithium was the first element used, and the first chemical change that was noticed was the …show more content…
We know this because there are bubbles, and the metal gets smaller as it dissolves in water because any alkali metal that reacts with water produces hydrogen gas. The lithium was consumed over the course of the reaction, yielding lithium hydroxide, which eventually dissolved in water to produce hydrogen gas. Write a word equation for the reaction of ONE of the metals with water. Na ( s ) + H 2 O ( l ) → NaOH ( aq ) + H 2 ( g ) Is the remaining liquid in the reaction acidic or basic? How do you know? The remaining liquid in the reaction is base because Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the product of the reaction, is a powerful base. Also, water is neutral so with the metal it turns into a basic liquid. According to your observations, group these metals into two groups and rank the metals from least to most reactive. Use Lewis Dot Diagrams to represent the metals.

Task 1 (P1) The periodic table is laid out into groups and periods. They are also put into different blocks S-Block, D-Block, P-block and F-Block due to their energy levels. They are organised by their energy levels and chemicals properties. As the elements go along the periods in the periodic table the electronegativity increases but as the elements go down the groups the electronegativity decreases.

Copper is essential for all life, but only in small quantities. Copper appears in the periodic table at the top of Group 11 in the 4th period above silver and gold. Copper is one of the most important metals. Specifically, it is a transition metal on the periodic table. Copper is reddish with a bright metallic lustre.
The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. Cesium and francium are the most reactive elements in this group. Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to
Discussion In the Chemical Weathering Lab experiment, 4 different rocks were tested in 4 different substances, being 50% vinegar, 10% vinegar, soda, and distilled water. The mass of the rocks and the pH of the substances were both measured before the experiment began. The rocks were left for 5 weeks and the changes in mass and pH were observed. The reasoning for this experiment was to see how weathering would affect rocks, specifically chemical weathering.
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the different types of chemical reactions, those including Copper. There are different types of chemical reactions. A double displacement reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species. A a decomposition reaction is the separation of a chemical compound into elements or simpler compounds and the single-displacement reaction is a type of

4. What is an appropriate ionic radius for a couple of the missing elements in your table? 5. Are there any inconsistencies in the periodic table? Is there anything odd or that stick out of the normal pattern?
This classification is based on several characteristics: 1) zinc is a metal essential to hundreds of biological processes 2) zinc is relatively abundant in the natural environment; 3) the recommended daily allowance(RDA) of zinc in the human population is 8 to 15 mg higher than many other essential metals, 4) zinc does not appear to accumulate in the body with age , 5) there are no known genetic abnormalities which result in excessive accumulation of zinc in the body, unlike metals such as copper (Wilson's disease) and iron (hemochromatosis). The US Environmental Protection Agency standard for maximum zinc concentration drinking water is 5

Electrons in Metals Fallyn Walker 14423422 An electron is a negatively charged, sub atomic particle. It is a fermion, a particle named after the Fermi-Dirac statistics, which describes the electrons behaviour . Bohr proposed that the electron could move from orbitals. This could explain the spectrum for hydrogen but failed for other elements.
P1 - Volumetric Analysis Made Easy The periodic table is split into 8 different categories. Group 1 consists of alkali metals which are very reactive. However group 7 contains very reactive non-metals. The periodic table starts from alkali and ends at noble gases (Group 8).
They react very strongly in the reaction with water. However, a couple of the alkali metals do not react well at all with any other element. For example, francium has the lowest electronegativity, which means that the power of an atom to attract electron density to itself is very unlikely. The alkali metals combine very readily with the halogen group. This is because the alkali metals have one valence electron that they are ready to lose, and the halogens have seven valences electrons.
As well as this , their position on the periodic table makes them alkali metals, which means that they all have low boiling and melting points. As well as this , they will react violently when placed in water and will create a strong base and hydrogen gas as the products of the reaction. Group seven elements are known as halogens and consist of five non-metal elements with seven electrons in their outer shell.
The Periodic Table is used to show how elements are similar. The elements are split into groups and periods. Elements in the same columns have similar chemical and physical properties. I will be describing three of the element on the periodic table and explain how the earth would be like without them. These elements, that I have chosen are Rhenium, Osmium, and Iridium Rhenium is element 75 on the periodic table as a metal.
