Belong to the same group
have the same number of valence electrons, need the same number of electrons to fill their valence shells
All the others members of the Alkali metal group have similar properties to Lithium. These are Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium.
number of valence electrons
Chemical properties. The classic example is the Group (I) Alkali metals, they all react with water., to produce the hydroxide, and liberate hydrogen gas. Here is the general equation 2M + 2H2O = 2MOH + H2 However in going down this Group , their reactivity with water becomes more violent, from genetle fizzing (Lithium) to explosive (Francium). Francium is not found in a lab. because it is also radio-active. Group (II) Alkaline Earth metals also have a similar property, but their reactivity is more genetle. M + 2H2O = M(OH)2 + H2
Belong to the same group
Francium and lithium have the same number of valence electrons.
have the same number of valence electrons, need the same number of electrons to fill their valence shells
The chemistry of francium is not known; francium has properties similar to caesium.
Lithium has similar properties with anything in Group 1 on the periodic table.
Sodium has similar properties as lithium.
Sodium has similar properties as lithium.
Yes, they have similar chemical properties.
The chemistry of francium is not experimentally known; it is only estimated. Francium should be have properties similar to caesium.
Na is chemically more like Li than Mg, only physically (measurements, mass) it looks more like Mg
