hydrogen


Based on their placement on the periodic table what about ion formation is correct There is more than one correct statement?

A Group 6A element gains two electrons A Group 2A element loses two electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons group 1a element loses one electron group 7a gains one electron


Why do metals in Group 1 get more reactive nearer the bottom of the Group?

The reactivity of an element largely depends on its electronic configuration. All the 1st group elements have one electron each in the outer most s-orbital. Their reactivity is due to the loss of this electron and formation of a uni positive ion. The ease with which the element loses the electron dictates its activity. As we go down the group, the distance between the outer most orbital and nucleus increases and hence the ease with which the element loses the electron increases as we go down the group. So naturally the reactivity increases. However in the case of 7th group elements(halogens) the electronic configuration is s2p5. They acquire stability by acquiring another electron. This is called electron affinity. This increases as we go up a group. So we find the more reactive element at the top of the group. We can generalize this like this. The reactivity of an element depends on the ease with which it acquires the nearest iner gas electronic configuration.


Consider the group 1A element sodium (atomic number 11) the group 3A element aluminum (atomic number 13) and the group 7A element chlorine (atomic number 17). These elements are in period 3. How are?

This is a consequence of the law of periodicity of chemical elements.


What are the most active metals in group 1A increases?

The reactivity of the alkali metals increases as you go down column 1 (or 1A) in a periodic table. This occurs because the first ionization energy of the metals decreases, as a result of "shielding" the outermost electrons from the attraction of the positive nucleus by the inner electrons.
