Group 1 elements, known as alkali metals, include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They are characterized by having a single electron in their outermost shell, which makes them highly reactive, especially with water. Group 2 elements, known as alkaline earth metals, include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. These elements have two electrons in their outer shell and are also reactive, though less so than alkali metals.
Group 1 elements are more reactive than that of group 2 elements.
group 1...is 1 valence. group 2...is 2 valence.
The combining ratio for Group II elements with Group VII elements is 1:2. For example, calcium (Group II) will combine with chlorine (Group VII) to form calcium chloride with a ratio of 1 calcium atom to 2 chlorine atoms.
There's no charge within the atom of each group since there is a same number of electrons (negatively charged) and protons ( positively charged). The charge does not change unless after ionic bonding. The atomic charge changes depending on the reaction.
Groups on the periodic table are numbered from 1 to 18, with the group number corresponding to the number of valence electrons in the elements of that group. Group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons, and so on. Groups 1, 2, and 13-18 are known as the main group elements.
Group 1 elements are more reactive than that of group 2 elements.
The oxidation numbers for the first 20 elements in the periodic table are typically as follows: Group 1 elements: +1; Group 2 elements: +2; Group 13 elements: +3; Group 14 elements: +4 or -4; Group 15 elements: -3; Group 16 elements: -2; Group 17 elements: -1; Group 18 elements: 0. Keep in mind that oxidation numbers can vary in different compounds and contexts.
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only
Elements that have a single oxidation number include group 1 elements (e.g. sodium, potassium) which have an oxidation number of +1, and group 2 elements (e.g. magnesium, calcium) which have an oxidation number of +2.
the elements belonging to group 1 and 2 of the periodic table are s-block elements. it includes elements in which the outermost subshell is s and that have 1 or 2 electrons in their outermost shell.
Group 1 and group 2 elements are called s-block elements
group 1...is 1 valence. group 2...is 2 valence.
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1, group 2 elements have an oxidation number of +2, group 17 elements have an oxidation number of -1, and group 18 elements (noble gases) have zero oxidation number since they are chemically unreactive.
Groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18 are the main group elements, also called the representative elements.
The combining ratio for Group II elements with Group VII elements is 1:2. For example, calcium (Group II) will combine with chlorine (Group VII) to form calcium chloride with a ratio of 1 calcium atom to 2 chlorine atoms.
Group 1 elements are the most reactive among metals, followed by group 2 elements.
Yes, group 1 and 2 elements can become cations when they form ionic bonds. Group 1 elements, such as sodium, readily lose one electron to become sodium cations with a +1 charge. Group 2 elements, such as magnesium, lose two electrons to become magnesium cations with a +2 charge in ionic compounds.
