in a group the reactivity of metals with oxygen increases give example
Answers
Explanation:
The group 1 elements react with oxygen from the air to make metal oxides . ... The metal below the surface does not react. The alkali metals burn vigorously when heated and placed in a gas jar of oxygen. The oxide forms as white smoke.
thank you ❤️
If it will help you so make me brainlist......... It means alot to me.....
Answer:
In a group the reactivityof metals with oxygen increases.For intance, alkali meetals on expouser to air show an increase in affinity for oxygen as we move down the group.
Example for:
Lithium forms normal oxide.
4Li(s)+O₂(g)⇒ 2Li₂O(s)
sodium forms per oxide.
2Na(s)+O₂(g)⇒Na₂O₂(s)
In period as we move from left to right, reactivity of metals with oxygen
decreases.
