Why do substances with simple molecular structures have low melting and boiling points?
They have weak bonds between atoms which are easy to overcome.
They have weak forces of attraction between molecules which require little energy to overcome.
Methane has a high boiling point because there are weak forces between the molecules
Why is hydrogen a gas at room temperature?
It has a low boiling point because it has simple molecular bonds are weak and require little energy to overcome

Metal conducts electricity because the electrons are not free to move.
Fill the gaps: As you go 1)_________ the group 1 alkali metals, the atomic radius gets 2)___________ due to an extra filled electron shell.
1) Down
1) Up
2) Bigger
2) Smaller
In group 1 metals, the outer electron is less and less strongly attracted by the positive nucleus because it is further from the nucleus and is also shielded by the extra full electron shell of negative charge.
Fill the gaps: As you go down group 1 the elements become 1)________ reactive because it is easier to lose the electron from the outer shell and form a(n) 2)________
1) more
1) less
2) anion
2) cation
As you go ________ the group 7 halogens, the atomic radius gets bigger due to an extra filled electron shell.
Down
Up
As you go down the group, why do outer electrons become less and less strongly attracted by the positive nucleus?
The outer electrons are further from the nucleus and are shielded by the extra full electron shell of negative charge.
There are too many other electrons which are attracted to the positive nucleus.
The outer electrons are shielded by an extra full electron shell of positive charge.
Why do the elements become less reactive as you down Group 7?
dogs can fly
It is harder to attract an 8th outer electron, so it cannot fill its outer shell, so it cannot form a bond, so it is less reactive.
What are the properties of group 1 metals?
alkali

hard
most reactive group
blue compounds

Gets so hot that it lights the hydrogen gas given off. Burns with a lilac flame.
