How is potassium stored?
The pure metal must be stored under oil to protect it from oxygen and water vapor in the air.
Sodium metal is normally stored under water?
Nope. Sodium reacts violently with water. The pure stuff is normally stored under oil.
How is the metal sodium stored?
it can b stored in oil
Why are potassium sodium and lithium stored in a jar of oil rather than just in a jar?
They are stored in a jar of oil to prevent them from reacting, other wise they will start reacting with the surrounding air. :D
Does cesium have an odor?
Cesium (Cs) itself does not have an odor, but if you smell something odd, it may be from the mineral oil that it's been stored in. Cesium is the most electropositive of all metals and must be stored under oil, because if it comes in contact with water or moist air, it ignites spontaneously with a reddish-violet flame.
How are group 1 elements stored?
group 1 elements are stored in oil because they are highly reactive elements.
Which groups of elements are stored in oil or kerosene?
the 7A family in the peroid table of elements
What all can lithium be stored in?
Lithium is stored in mineral oil to protect it from air and moisture.
Is magnesium stored under oil?
Gggtgggrhghr
Pottasium is stored under oil Why?
Potassium is chemically very active. It will react with oxygen and/or water vapor in the air, so it is stored under oil to keep it out of contact with the air. It doesn't react with the oil.
How each of the metals in group 1 should be stored?
Group 1 metals are stored under a layer of oil. This prevents them from coming into contact with the oxygen in the air. Thus the violent reaction of group 1 metals and oxygen is prevented and the metals can be stored safely under oil.
What metal is stored in oil?
Group 1 metals are stored under oil because they are so reactive, they will react with the oxygen in the air if you leave them unprotected, but will also react with water, therefore they need to be stored in oil.
How oil is stored?
under ground in tanks so it doesnt ignite
How is potassium stored?
The pure metal must be stored under oil to protect it from oxygen and water vapor in the air.
Why is sodium and potassium stored under kerosene oil?
as it reacts with the oxygen in the air
Why are alkali metals stored oil?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
Is radium stored in oil?
Radium is not stored in oil.
