[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.
Even with this proviso, the electrode potentials of lithium and sodium – and hence their positions in the electrochemical series – appear anomalous. The order of reactivity, as shown by the vigour of the reaction with water or the speed at which the metal surface tarnishes in air, appears to be Cs > K > Na > Li > alkaline earth metals,
Group 1: Alkali metals Reaction of sodium (Na) and water Reaction of potassium (K) in water. The alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) are the most reactive metals in the periodic table - they all react vigorously or even explosively with cold water, resulting in the displacement of hydrogen.
Mg 2 C 3 + 4H 2 O → 2Mg(OH) 2 + C 3 H 4. Reaction with nitrogen. Only Be and Mg form nitrides directly. 3Be + N 2 → Be 3 N 2 3Mg + N 2 → Mg 3 N 2. Reaction with hydrogen. Alkaline earth metals react with hydrogen to generate saline hydride that are unstable in water. Ca + H 2 → CaH 2. Reaction with water. Ca, Sr, and Ba readily react ...
A reaction of radium metal with water: [citation needed] Ra + 2H 2 O → Ra(HO) 2 + H 2. The reaction of radium oxide and water can also generate radium hydroxide, and the reaction releases a lot of heat: [citation needed] RaO + H 2 O → Ra(HO) 2. The compound can also be prepared by reacting radium nitrate with NaOH in solution. [citation needed]
Radium oxide (RaO) is poorly characterized, as the reaction of radium with air results in the formation of radium nitride. [24] Radium hydroxide (Ra(OH) 2) is formed via the reaction of radium metal with water, and is the most readily soluble among the alkaline earth hydroxides and a stronger base than its barium congener, barium hydroxide. [25]
The compound can be obtained by heating metallic radium in air: [4] 2Ra + O 2 → 2RaO. This reaction also produces radium nitride and possibly radium peroxide: 3Ra + N 2 → Ra 3 N 2 Ra + O 2 → RaO 2
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
