Reactions of s-Block Metals with Water
Reactions of s-Block Metals with Water
Sodium and magnesium are the s-block metals in Period 3. Because sodium is in Group 1, it is more reactive than magnesium, which is in Group 2.
Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Properties of Period 3 elements and their oxides (A-level only), covering Properties of Period 3 elements and their oxides (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
