because the bond enthalpy decreases down the group
As the size of alkali metals increases down the group the M-H bond becomes weaker hence its stability decreases from LiH to CsH
as metallic nature decreses
Melting Point
Down the group the size of atom increases. Hence the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electrons of the next atom decreases. Or in other words, the electronegativity decreases down the group.
The first. Going down metallicity decreases.
As the size of alkali metals increases down the group the M-H bond becomes weaker hence its stability decreases from LiH to CsH
as metallic nature decreses
The particles in a substance slow down when the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. As the average kinetic energy decreases, the internal energy decreases, and so the thermal energy decreases. As the thermal energy of the substance decreases, the temperature decreases.
In fact it increases down the group because ionization energy decreases down the group
As we move down a group, electronegativity decreases.
Melting Point
because down the group the cation becomes gets larger so the hydration energy decreases. so the solubility decreases
The size of the group 2 ions gets bigger as we go down the group. Hence, their polarising power also decreases. So, the carbonates are less polarised as we go down the group, requiring more energy to decompose them. Polarising power is the ability of the ion to attract the bonding pair of electrons towards itself.
It increases
Atomic radius
The chemical reactivity decreases in group 17 as you go down the group.
Very, tho reactivity decreases down the group
