An A-level chemistry student is preparing a revision summary table comparing the physical and chemical trends of the Group 1 (alkali) metals as they descend the group from lithium to caesium.
Which row in the table correctly identifies these trends?
| Row | Trend in reactivity with water going down the group | Trend in metallic bonding strength going down the group |
|---|---|---|
| A | Decreases | Decreases |
| B | Increases | Increases |
| C | Increases | Decreases |
| D | Decreases | Increases |
Row A
Row B
Row C
Row D
75 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Chemistry 7.1 Group 1, covering 7.1.1 Classifying elements by group in the periodic table and 7.1.2 Properties and reactions of the alkali metals. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
