Assessment
1. - why are the elements in groups 1A through 8A called representatives elements?
Display the range of positive valence of physical and chemical properties
2. - What determines the chemical behavior of an element?
The locations and the valence from the electrons
3. - Why are the alkaline metals stored in oil?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air
4. - What do group 1A and 2A elements have in common? .Give a list 3 examples
They are both very reactive because of their low number of valence electrons
- Are metals
-Combined with oxygen
-Ions forms with positive charge
5. - What types of ions make water hard? What is the main problem using hard water?
-Ammonia from N and H
- The reactions ignites the H
6. - Name 3 factors that make magnesium a good choice for alloys
-Iron
-Lithium
-Sodium
7. - Thinking Critically Lithium behaves more like magnesium than sodium. Use what
you learned in Chapter 6 about trends in atomic size to explain this behavior
This trend is caused by the increasing positive charge in the nucleus and the fact that the
principal energy
8. - Apply concepts Hydrogen can gain one electron to reach a stable electron
configuration. Why isnt hydrogen placed in group 7A with the other elements that share
this behavior
Because, it only has one electron on its outermost shell.
