2. Group
Questions a) Group is the vertical columns in the
Periodic Table of Elements
b) There are 18 groups in the Periodic Table of
Elements
c) The number of valence electrons will
determine the position of the group of an
element.

How to Conclusion
determine
Group 17 (must + 10) because has 7
Group 2 8 7 number of valence electrons
Answer:
• Position: Group 17, Period 3
Reason:
Questions
• Group 17 because has 7 number of valence
electrons
• Period 3 because 3 shells filled with electrons
4.3 Group 18
c) Argon Ar 18 2.8.8 8
d) Krypton Kr 36 2.8.18.8 8
e) Xenon Xe 54 2.8.18.18.8 8
f) Radon Rn 86 2.8.18.32.18.8 8
This is because noble gases achieved a stable duplet or octet arrangement, causing the atoms of
noble gases to not donate, accept, nor share electrons with the atoms of other element due to
valence shells that are fully filled with electrons.
1. Nobles gases exists as monoatomic gases (exist as a single atom) e.g : He, Kr
2. They are colourless gases at room temperature
3. They are insoluble in water
4. They cannot conduct electricity and are poor conductor heat
5. They have low melting points and boiling points
B. When going down the group 18, melting point and boiling point of elements increases.
Reason:
Increase in the atomic size of elements will increase the attraction force between the atoms.
Thus more heat energy is required to overcome this force.
4.4 Group 1
b) Sodium Na 11 2.8.1 1
c) Potassium K 19 2.8.8.1 1
d)Rubidium Rb 37 2.8.18.8.1 1
e) Caesium Cs 55 2.8.18.18.8.1 1
f) Francium Fr 87 2.8.18.32.18.8.1 1
1. Alkali metals are soft and can be cut easily with knife
2. They have low melting points and boiling points
3. They have low densities and can float on water
4. All alkali metals are grey in colour with silvery and shiny surface when freshly cut
B. When going down the group 1, melting point and boiling point of elements decreases
Reason:
This because as the atomic size increases, the metallic bond become weaker.
Thus less heat energy is required to overcome the weak metallic bond.
Group 1 Movement of alkali metal on water surface Colour changes of litmus paper
Lithium Lithium moves slowly and randomly on the Red Litmus Paper turns blue
water surface with a soft ‘hiss’ sound (Produce alkaline solution-LiOH)
2Li + 2H2O → 2LiOH +H2
Sodium Sodium melts into a small sphere, moves Red Litmus Paper turns blue
rapidly and randomly on the water surface (Produce alkaline solution-NaOH)
with a ‘hiss’ sound.
2Na+ 2H2O → 2NaOH +H2
Potassium Potassium burns with a lilac flame, moves Red Litmus Paper turns blue
very rapidly and randomly on the water (Produce alkaline solution-KOH)
surface with a ‘hiss’ sound and explodes.
2K + 2H2O → 2KOH +H2
Sodium Sodium burns with bright, yellow flame Red Litmus Paper turns blue
producing a white solid. The white solid (Metal oxide dissolved into water
dissolves in water to produce a colourless and produce alkaline solution -NaOH)
solution
4Na + O2 → 2Na2OH (WHITE COLOUR) Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH
Potassium Potassium burns with vigorously with a Red Litmus Paper turns blue
bright, lilac flame producing a white solid. (Metal oxide dissolved into water
The white solid dissolves in water to and produce alkaline solution -KOH)
produce a colourless solution
.
Group 1 Burning if alkali metal in oxygen
Lithium Lithium burns with red flame producing a white fume which becomes white
solid on the inside of the gas jar
Sodium Sodium burns with rapidly with bright, yellow flame and produces white
fume which becomes white solid on the inside of the gas jar
Potassium Potassium burns with vigorously with a bright, lilac flame and produces
white fume which becomes white solid on the inside of the gas jar

b) Chlorine Cl 17 2.8.7 7
c) Bromine Br 35 2.8.18.7 7
d) Iodine I 53 2.8.18.18.7 7
e) Astatine As 85 2.8.18.32.18.7 7
B. When going down the group 17, melting point and boiling point of elements increases
Reason:
This because as the molecular size increases, the forces between the molecule become
stronger. Thus more heat energy is required to overcome the weak metallic bond.
Reason: The atomic size increases when going down the group, the forces between the
molecule become stronger, Tends to exits as solid
Chemical Properties of Group 17
React with H2O React with Hot Fe React with sodium hydroxide
From two acids and Form brown solid, FeX3 Form water, sodium halide and sodium
change blue litmus paper halate (I)
to red and bleached it
X2 + H2O → HX + HOX 3X2 + 2Fe →2 FeX3 X2 + 2NaOH →NaX +NaOX + H2O
Cl2 + H2O → HCl+ HOCl 3Cl2 + 2Fe →2 FeCl3 Cl2 + 2NaOH →NaCl +NaOCl + H2O
HCl = hydrochloric acid FeCl3 = Iron (III) Chloride NaOCl = sodium chlorate (I) solution
HBr = hydrobromic acid FeBr3 = Iron (III) Bromide NaOCl = sodium bromate (I) solution
HI= hydroiodic acid Fel3 = Iron (III) Iodide NaOCl = sodium iodate (I) solution
* Chlorine → chlorous
4. As a result, it is difficult to
attract one electron into the
valence shell.
