Alkali Metals and Halogen 8th DCP PMC

This document summarizes the properties and reactions of alkali metals and halogens. It discusses how alkali metals are very reactive, soft metals that react vigorously with water and oxygen. Their reactivity increases down the group. Halogens are also very reactive nonmetals that form diatomic molecules. They have 7 electrons in their outer shell. Halogens are toxic and reactive, decreasing in reactivity down the group. Both alkali metals and halogens form ionic compounds when reacting with other elements.

Reaction with Oxygen
Alkali metal + oxygen → alkali metal oxide Speed increases as go down
4𝑀(𝑠) + 𝑂2(𝑔) → 2𝑀2 𝑂(𝑠) Lithium : tarnishes slowly
Sodium : Tarnishes quickly
𝑀2 𝑂 → alkali metal oxides (produces tarnish) Potassium : tarnishes very quickly
Reaction with water
Reacts vigorously (increases as go down)
Lithium (Li)
• Fizzes and move around slowly
across the surface
Alkali metal + water → Alkali metal + hydrogen Sodium (Na)
Hydroxide • Fizzes and move across the
surface more quickly than Li
2𝑀(𝑠) + 2𝐻2 𝑂(𝑙) → 2𝑀𝑂𝐻(𝑎𝑞) + 𝐻2(𝑔) • melts as it reacts
• becomes spherical and shiny
Exothermic reaction (releases heat) • hydrogen sometimes catches fire
Green universal → turn purples (MOH → Basic) Potassium (K)
• move across the surface very
quickly
• melts as it reacts
• hydrogen given off catches alight

Reaction with Chlorine
Alkali metals burst into flames when heated and added to chlorine. They form metal chlorides.

Alkali metal + Chlorine → Alkali metal chloride


2𝑀(𝑠) + 𝐶𝑙2(𝑔) → 2𝑀𝐶𝑙(𝑠)

Displacement of Halogens
𝐴 + 𝑀𝐵 → 𝑀𝐴 + 𝐵
A more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halogen from a halide solution of the less reactive halogen.
∗ A must above B (A more reactive than B)
Example :
