    				| 1. | Elements of group 1 are given below with their atomic number: Li (3) Na (11) K (19) (a) Give the order of their Atomic size. (b) Reactivity. | ||||||||||||
| Answer» 
 (a) The atomic size goes on increasing as new shell is added in each element as we move from top to bottom. So it is Li <Na<K. (b) The reactivity increases as it is easy to lose electrons if the size of atom increases, the nuclear force decreases. The reactivity order is Li < Na < K. | |||||||||||||
