Difference between
the two groups?
2. What do the members
of each group have in
common?
3. Why do you think they
belong in their
respective groups/bands?
4. What do you think
their music is all
about?
BIG IDEA
We group things based on their
characteristics and properties. In
chemistry, elements are grouped based on
what properties they share and these
properties are what make elements
represent the group they belong.
What comes to your
mind when you hear the
word "Alkali"?
Where are the Alkali
Elements in the Periodic
Table?

BIG IDEA: Representative Elements are

also called Main Group Elements.

and the reactivity of Alkali metals with water
increases as you go down.
d. Because water can dissolve Francium faster.
 Assignment:

In your filler, compare the reactivity of

Group 1A (Alkali Metals) and Group 2A
(Alkaline Earth Metals) in water.
