  1. The Life of Alkali Metals! 

  2. Created by: Heather, Jackie, and Allen :D

  3. The Alkali Metal Family Members: Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium.

  4. Lithium • Parent: Johan August Arfvedson • Born: 1817 in Stockholm, Sweden • Gender: Metal • Protons and Electrons: 3

  5. Lithium is good for used to prevent and treat the manic episodes caused by manic-depressive illness. • Fuels torpedos • Negatives: toxic

  6. Rubidium • Parent: Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff. • Birthplace: 1861 in Germany. • Gender: Metal • Protons and Electrons: 37

  7. Rubidium • used for making special glasses • doesn’t do anything negative on our environment. • Causes thermal burns • Moderately toxic

  8. Physical Description

  9. Chemical Description

  10. Sodium (“The Agricultural One”) • (Parent) Sir Humphrey Davy • (Birth Place/Date) England, 1807 • (Gender) Sodium is a bouncing baby Metal! • (Physical Description1) Sodium usually has a count of 12 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons.

  11. Sodium Cont.  • (Physical Description2) -(Density) Sodium has a body thickness of 0.971 g/cm3 *Will float* -(Boiling point) Sodium has a temper of 883 °C (1156 K, 1621 °F) -(Melting Point) Sodium has a meltdown point of 97.72 °C (370.87 K, 207.9 °F) -(Specific heat) Sodium has a body temperature of 1.228 J/g•K -(Electrical conductivity) 0.21 106/cm Ω

  12. Sodium (“The Agricultural One”) Cont. • (Chemical Description) -Sodium has only one valence electron -A Sodium Ion has a +1 charge *As do the rest of the Alkali Metal* -Sodium’s oxidation number is the same as the number of valence electrons, which is one -Reactivity: High, not found naturally in its elemental state -Compounds Sodium can create: Sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium chloride • Interesting facts: Used for agricultural and medical purposes • Negative Attributes: Highly reactive, not found in its natural elemental state

  13. Interesting Facts about Sodium! • Sodium, though you cannot find it naturally, is a very soft metal. • White, silvery in color • Can be cut with a knife at room temp. • Is known to have a bright luster before it is exposed to air

  14. Potassium (“The Corrosive One”) • (Parent) Sir Humphrey Davy • (Birth Place/Date) England, 1807 • (Gender) Another bouncing baby Metal • (Physical Description1): A count of 19 protons, 20 Neutrons, 19 Electrons

  15. Potassium Cont. • (Physical Description2): -(Body thickness) 0.862 g/cm3 *Will float* -(Boiling point) A temper starting at 774.0 °C (1047.15 K, 1425.2 °F) -(Melting point) A meltdown point of 63.65 °C (336.8 K, 146.57 °F) -(Specific heat) Potassium has a body temp of 0.75J/gK -(Electrical conductivity) 0.139 106/cm Ω

  16. Potassium (“The Corrosive One”) Cont. • Chemical Description: -Potassium has only one valence electron -A Potassium Ion only has a +1 charge - Potassium has an Oxidation number of one -Reactivity: High

  17. Potassium cont. cont. :P • Compounds it can compose: Potassium chloride, Potassium superoxide, Potassium hydroxide • Interesting facts: Is used in fertilizer and also acts as a salt substitute • Negative Attributes: Very corrosive, is obtained as a byproduct of pneumonia

  18. Interesting Facts about Potassium • Second lightest metal • Silvery/Off white • Potassium catches fire when exposed to water • It burns violet

  19. Cesium “The Air Fixer” A beautiful 133 AMU baby boy C

  20. Cesium’s parent • Born from Fustov Kirchoff in 1860 • What’s Cesium’s name mean? Sky Blue in Latin. • Found in Germany (YAY!)  • Cesium is a Metal, and belongs to the Alkali Metal Family.

  21. What does Cesium look like. • Protons: 55 • Neutrons: 78 • Electrons: 55 • Sounds like a cool guy.

  22. What does he look like part 2. • Very Dense, just like Francium • Boils at 678.4 °C. just a little hot.

  23. 28.5 °C is when he melts, don’t make him angry either. • He is sliver. • Very conductive of electricity and heat.

  24. Chemical Make-up • One Valence electron. :D • Has an Ion of +1, it will lose an electron. • Oxidation at 0 or +1, just like the rest of this beautiful family. • Very Reactive, but not as reactive as Francium.

  25. Compounds (Salts) • Cesium Chloride • Cesium Iodide • Cesium Bromide

  26. Uses of this cool guy • Used in Vacuums to remove air traces in the tubes.

  27. Negative personality • Highly Reactive

  28. Meet Francium “The Extreme One” A Beautiful Metal!!

  29. Where Francium Came From… • Marguerite Perey, discovered the Francium atom. She found it in 1939. • A French Physicist • Found Francium by purifying samples of lanthanum that contained actinium. 

  30. How Much Does this new baby Weigh? Francium weighs a whopping 223 AMU. WOOOOW!!!!

  31. How many people are in Francium's Family? • Francium is atomic number 87. • However, she is only #6 in he family line!

  32. What does she look like? • Protons: 87 • Neutrons: 136 • Electrons: 87 • Lewis Dot: Fr • Beautiful.

  33. What does she look like part 2. • Very Dense girl, she's a though cookie. • Boils at 677.0 °C. What a hot tamale. • Melts at 27.0 °C. So don’t make her sad. • Conducts heat and electricity well, shocking.

  34. Chemical Make-up • One Valence electron, Yowzah. • She shares the fact that she has a Ion of +1 with her whole family. • Watch out, she is extremely reactive.

  35. Compounds (more salts) • Francium Iodide • Francium Chloride • Francium Bromide

  36. Positives/Negatives + No known uses. She is not a very useful person, but everyone loves her. - She is highly reactive, and if anyone touched the 30 grams of it present on earth at anytime, they would be touching a huge ball of Alpha radiation.
