Experiment 4.2 (A) : Reaction of Group 1 elements with water


Alkaline metal Observation
Move slowly on the surface of water with hissing sound. A
Lithium (Li) colourless solution is formed and turns red litmus paper to
blue.
Move rapidly and randomly on the surface of water with
Sodium (Na) hissing sound. A colourless solution is formed and turns red
litmus paper to blue.
Move very fast with purplish flame on the surface of water
Potassium (K) with hissing and “pop” sound is heard. A colourless solution
is formed and turns red litmus paper to blue.
