| Why are group 1 metals stored in oil? | The oils prevents them reacting with oxygen |
| List 4 properties of group 1 metals that are different to other metals | They have low melting points they are very soft low density (float)react quickly with wter |
| What is produced when lithium reacts with water? | Lithium + Water = Lithium hydroxide +Hydrogen(g) |
| What is observed when lithium reacts with water? | It fizzes slowly on top of the water |
| What is produced when sodium reacts with water? | sodium + water=sodium hydroxide +hydrogen (g) |
| What is observed when sodium reacts with water? | It forms a molten ball and fizzes quickly on top of the water |
