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»
Group 1Atomic Number

Electronic Configuration

Li32,1
Na112,8,1
K192, 8, 8,1

(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.
