Is group 1A ionic or covalent?
Group 1A is the alkali metals and since they are of small electronegativity they bond ionically, usually to nonmetals.
What is the largest possible electronegativity difference for a bond to be covalent?
1.7
Which elements on the periodic table have the lowest electronegativity?
Atoms to the left on the periodic table Atoms with a large atomic radius
What attractive force draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds?
Electronegativity
Which bond has the greatest ionic charcter?
Based on the maximum possible difference in electronegativity, this should be the bond in cesium fluoride.
Is potassium a transition meatal or an alkali metal?
Alkali Metal
Which alkali metal has the largest electronegativity?
The Alkali metal with the greatest electronegativity is Lithium.
Which alkali metal has the lowest electronegativity?
Francium
What elements have low electronegativity?
The elements with low electronegativity are the metals, specifically the alkali metals and alkali earth metals. The elements further to the left of the periodic table will have lower electronegativity than those farther to the right.
Why property makes the alkali metals very reactive?
The alkali metals have a low electronegativity and they easily loss an electron.
How do you know that potassium an alkali metal highly reactive?
The electronegativity of alkali metals is very low.
Why do alkali metals in group 1 react the same way to water and oxygen?
Alkali metals are highly reactive because they have little electronegative affinity for their own valance electrons and so donate them readily to elements and molecules with greater electronegativity, or molecules with constituent element with greater electronegativity.
Is gold a meatal none meatal or metalloid?
A metal.
Why are the oxidation numbers of alkali metals always positive?
Becaus ethey have the weakest electronegativity causing them to share or lose their electrons.
Is group 1A ionic or covalent?
Group 1A is the alkali metals and since they are of small electronegativity they bond ionically, usually to nonmetals.
Which element in the alkali metals most easily loses electrons and why?
This is francium because having a very lower electronegativity can loss easily an electron.
What is the largest possible electronegativity difference for a bond to be covalent?
1.7
