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.
What reactive metals will produce a spark when they are struck?
Reactive Metals
What is a very reactive non metals?
The highly reactive non-metals are in the halogen group. They just need one more electron to fill the octet. Therefore they are highly reactive. For example fluorine and chlorine. And the highly reactive metals are placed in the first group (alkali metals). For example Sodium and potassium.
To keep them from reacting some highly reactive elements are stored in?
the center of the earth in a metal case surrounded by liquid mercury..
How many reactive metals are there?
All metals are reactive, and there are 91 different metals on the periodic table.
Why are alkali metals stored oil?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
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.
Why is reactive metals stored in mineral oil?
To avoid any reactions with oxygen, water, carbon dioxide.
Why do we use oil to store group 1 metals?
group 1 metals are stored under oil because they are so reactive, they will react with the oxygen and water in the air if you leave them unprotected, keeping them under oil prevents this from happening, as water and oxygen can't pass through the oil and get to the metal. . .hope this helped pall =].
Identify the false statement concerning reactive metals and water reactive materials?
Metals and metal hydrides may be stored with corrosives.
What metals can be stored in oil?
All of the 1st group metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) because they react with the air and many other things.
Why are alkali metals stored in oil and kerosene?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
Which metals are kept in oil and in which is the most reactive?
the metals like Sodium and potassium are extremely reactive. so they are often placed under kerosene 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.
Why is it a bad idea to store potassium in water?
potassium is a group one metal. Group one metals can be explosively reactive with water (they are very reactive and dangerous) i think tjey woyld be better stored ib oil
What elements are stored under oil?
sodium lithium Alkali metals are often stored under oil.
How do you store alkali metals?
Alkali meatls are stored in oil to stop it from mixing with the moisture in the air.Because Alkali metals are highly flammble in moist air.
