Rb is the largest, Li the smallest in the row above.
Group 1 of the Periodic Table: Fr > Cs > Rb > K > Na > Li > H
Rubidium has the largest atomic radius - 235 pm (empirical).
Which element has the smallest radius? Na k rb li
Which element has the smallest radiu? ca sc ge as
A+ Na
All the alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) are very reactive.
They all have 1 electron in their outermost shell
Sodium is the least reactive in this triade.
Of the Group 1 elements stated (Na, K, Rb, Cs), Caesium is the largest as it is the furthest down the group, and Sodium is the smallest of those as it is furthest up the group.
A+ Na
Rb
Smallest to largest is going down the group 1. I.e. Li is smallest<Rb<Cs
Elements in Group 1 include, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium
Rb
There is not only one element classified as alkali metal; this term refers to all periodic table column 1 elements excluding hydrogen. These are Lithium, Li; Sodium, Na; Potassium, K; Rubidium, Rb; Cesium/Caesium, Cs; Francium, Fr.
Li+ , Na+ , K+ , Rb+ , Cs+ , Fr+
Lithium has the least number of protons, rubidium has the most number of protons.
Hydrogen (H) Lithium (Li) Sodium (Na) Potassium (K) Rubidium (Rb) Cesium (Cs) Francium (Fr)
