Year 9 CHEMISTRY. Group 1- Alkali metals. Highly reactive Low melting points and boiling points Light Soft E.g. Cs. Group 2- Alkaline earth metals. Very reactive (but less than Alkali metals) Light Soft (but stronger and denser than Alkali metals) E.g Mg. Transition metals.

Group 1- Alkali metals • Highly reactive • Low melting points and boiling points • Light • Soft • E.g. Cs
Group 2- Alkaline earth metals • Very reactive (but less than Alkali metals) • Light • Soft • (but stronger and denser than Alkali metals) • E.g Mg
Transition metals • Less reactive than Alkali and Alkaline earth metals but vary in reactivity. • E.g. Au
Group 7- Halogens Can be extremely dangerous. Very reactive non-metals
Group 8- Noble gases • Relatively non-reactive • Low boiling points • Gases at room temperature
Questions • What group has the most reactive metals? • What group has the most reactive non-metals? • Which group is nonreactive?
