Comparison between Group 1, Group 17, Group 18 (by adam)

Group Group 1 (Alkali Metal) Group 17 (Halogen) Group 18 (Noble/Inert gas)

Elements Lithium, Li Fluorine, F Helium, He


Sodium, Na Chlorine, Cl (gas) Neon, Ne
Potassium, K Bromine, Br (liquid) Argon, Ar
Iodine, I (solid)

Physical *Soft *Change from gas to liquid to solid at room temperature *Colourless at room temperature
Properties *Low density (can float) *Different color: Cl (greenish yellow), Br (reddish brown), *Melting & boiling point low
*Grey shiny surface at room temperature I (purplish black) *Doesn’t conduct electricity
*Can conduct electricity *Water insoluble
*Low melting & boiling point *Going down the group:
- The melting & boiling point increase *Going down the group:
*Going down the group: - The increase in molecular size - Melting & boiling point increase
- The melting and boiling point decrease - The attraction between molecule become stronger - Atomic size of elements increase
- The increase in the atomic size - More heat energy is required to overcome the - The attraction force between atoms
- The attraction force between the atoms intermolecular forces increases
become weak - More heat energy is required to
- Less heat energy is required to overcome the overcome this force
force
Chemical *Have 1 electron in the valence shell *Have 7 electrons in valence shell *Inert (unreactive) & very stable
Properties *Atoms donate 1 electron & form an ion with +1 *Atoms receive one electron & forms ions with -1 charge *Helium: duplet electron arrangement
charge *Exits as diatomic molecules *Other: octet electron arrangement
*Don’t donate, accept & share electrons
*Exists as monoatomic gas

[Date] 1
The *Due to tendency of an atom to donate its *The reactivity decreases:
reactivity valence electron - The increase in atomic size of element
when going - The valence shell to be further away from nucleus
down the *The reactivity increases: - The nuclear attraction force towards electrons
group - The number of shells filled with electron become weaker
increases - Difficulty in attracting electrons to fill the valence
- The increase in atomic size of element increases.
- The position of valence electrons & nucleus
of atom is further away
- The nuclear attraction force towards electrons
become weaker
- Electron are more easily donate

Period 3 of elements

Elements Sodium, Na – Magnesium, Mg – Aluminium , Al – Silicon, Si – Phosphorus, P – Sulphur, S – Chlorine, Cl – Argon, Ar

Physical Properties
Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar
Solid Solid Solid Solid Solid Solid Gas Gas
Metal Metal Metal Metalloid Non-metal Non-metal Non-metal Non-metal

*The atomic size decrease because atomic radius decreases


*When across period 3:
- Number of protons will increase the charge in atom’s nucleus
- Electronegativity of elements increase
- The nuclear attraction force towards electrons increases
Chemical *Group 1 & 2 (Na2O & MgO): Basic Oxide, Alkaline solution when dissolved in water
Base + Base -> No reaction
Properties of *Al2O3: Amphoteric oxide, react with acid & alkali to forms salt + water
Base + Acid -> Salt + Water
Oxides of Elements *Group 14-17: Acidic oxide, Acidic solution when dissolved in water
Acid + Acid -> No reaction
