    The document summarizes a chemistry lecture on the comparison of chemical properties and reactivities of metals. Specifically, it discusses the reactions of sodium, magnesium, and calcium with nitrogen and carbon. Sodium and magnesium form stable nitrides when heated with nitrogen, while sodium and calcium do not react directly with carbon. The uses of sodium include as a coolant in nuclear reactors and to produce yellow light. Magnesium is used in fireworks, light alloys, and the thermite process. Calcium is used to remove sulfur from petroleum and as a reducing agent.

    REACTION WITH CARBON REACTION WITH CARBON


    They don’t react with carbon They give stable carbide on heating
    directly Ca + 2C CaC2
    Uses of sodium
     Sodium potassium alloy is used as coolant in nuclear
    reactor.
     It is used to produce yellow light in sodium vapour lamp.
     It is used as reducing agent in extraction of metals like Ti
    (titanium)

    Uses of magnesium
     Used in flashlight bulbs and fireworks
