Why would you expect lithium and sulfur to have different chemical and physical properties?

Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.

What are to two element that have properties similar to those of the element sodium?
Lithium and potassium has same properties as sodium.They are alkali metals.They are placed in group-1.The elements of the same group have same chemical properties. Li and K are the elements above and below Na in the period. So they have same properties as sodium.
Why do lithium and beryllium form ions with different charges?
Yes they do have the same properties.
Lithium and potassium have similar chemical properties because the atoms of both elements have the same?
number of valence electrons
Does lithium have Acidic or basic properties?
lithium has the basic properties because it is alkali metal.
Why is lithium more metallic than sodium?
Its due to their location on the table. Lithium and sodium are in the same family, (column) so they have similar properties. Sodium is not in the same family as magnesium, so their properties differ slightly
Is lithium chemical or physical properties?
It has both. It is a metallic element.
How many electrons in lithium are responsible for its chemical properties?
Just the one electron in Lithium's outer shell is responsible for its chemical properties.
Are lithium and potassium similar properties?
Yes, they have similar chemical properties.
What are the chemical properties of solid?
1. Sodium, lithium, potassium
What is the chemical properties of lithium chloride?
lithium is the most popular solid metal in the whole united states
What are the similarities of potassium and francium?
Lithium, sodium potassium, caesium, rubidium and francium are all alkali metals; consequently they share many chemical and physical properties.
Physical charateristics of lithium?
Lithium is a "soft, silver-white metal that belongs to the alkali metal group of chemical elements." Its chemical symbol is 'Li'
Is 79 grams of lithium a physical or chemical change?
It is not a change at all. 79 grams of lithium is a quantity of a substance.
When metal lithium is cut is it physical or chemical change?
Physical because the Lithium metal is still lithium. However, it can be argued that the cut would cause some oxidation due to surface area increase and lithium oxide will be formed as a result so there is a small amount of chemical change too.
What are propeties of lithium?
Physical properties: - Low melting point (compared to msot other metals) - Silvery solid - Low density - Soft metal, can be cut with a knife Chemical properties: - Highly reactive - One valence electron
What are to two element that have properties similar to those of the element sodium?
Lithium and potassium has same properties as sodium.They are alkali metals.They are placed in group-1.The elements of the same group have same chemical properties. Li and K are the elements above and below Na in the period. So they have same properties as sodium.
What properties have to same thing as lithium?
Sodium has similar properties as lithium.
