1. When going down
Group 1, the atomic size
increase.
2. The single valence
electron becomes
further away from the
nucleus.
3. Attraction forces
between nucleus and
the valence electrons
becomes weaker.
4. Easier for atom to lose
the single valence
electron to achieve
duplet or octet electron
arrangement.
5. The reactivity of Group
1 elements increases
down the group.
