There are specific reasons for an element's placement on the Periodic Table. this is especially clear in the case of all the main group elements.
Lithium is in the second column (or group) because it has two valence electrons
Lithium is in the second row because it has two electron shells (or energy levels)
Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, & Francium
Potassium is in group 1 and the group elements are hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium
The family members of lithium are; hydrogen, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.
The alkali metals family correctly labels the elements in group 1 on the periodic table. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium.
Group 1 in the periodic table is known as the alkali metals group. It includes elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. These elements are highly reactive and typically have one electron in their outermost shell.
In the group of actinides uranium, actinium, protactinium and thorium are natural elements; the others (transuranium elements) are artificial elements.
Lithium typically wants to bind with group VII elements, like halogens (e.g., fluorine, chlorine) to form ionic compounds. It can also potentially bind with group VI elements, like oxygen, to form lithium oxide compounds.
These elements are francium and lithium.
Hydrogen & Lithium 😄
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
Alkali is a group of elements, not just one specific elements. Alkali metals are Group 1A elements starting with Hydrogen then lithium and so on.
Group I of the periodic table is called the Alkali Metals group (Hydrogen-Lithium group)
Elements in Group 1. (eg. Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium etc.)
Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, & Francium
The element lithium is in the Alkali Metal family.*What family IS lithium in?
Mendeleev grouped lithium with potassium and sodium in his periodic table based on their similar chemical properties and valence electron configurations. He recognized that these elements belonged to the alkali metal group.
Potassium is in group 1 and the group elements are hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium
