Group I (Alkali Metals) – Physical Properties
- Group I metals are called alkali metals because they form alkaline solutions with water.
- They are soft and can be cut with a knife; softness increases down the group.
- Freshly cut surfaces are shiny and silvery.
- They have low melting points (some melt on a hot day) and low densities compared to other metals.
- Melting point decreases down the group; density generally increases (with an early exception).
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Group I metals on the Periodic Table

Group I – Chemical Properties & Reactivity
- All have one electron in their outer shell, which they readily lose to form +1 ions.
- They react vigorously with water: 2M(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2MOH(aq) + H₂(g).
- Reactivity increases down the group (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs < Fr).
- Lithium: fizzes, moves on surface; Sodium: more vigorous, melts into a ball; Potassium: burns with a lilac flame.
- They react with oxygen and water vapour in air, so are stored under oil.
- Rubidium and caesium react explosively with water; francium is extremely reactive but rare/radioactive.

Group VII (Halogens) – Physical Properties
- Halogens are diatomic non-metals (F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂, At₂).
- All have seven electrons in their outer shell and gain one electron to form halide ions.
- At room temperature: chlorine is a pale yellow-green gas, bromine is a red-brown liquid, iodine is a grey-black solid.
- Melting and boiling points increase down the group; density also increases.
- Colour darkens down the group: fluorine (yellow), chlorine (pale green), bromine (red-brown), iodine (grey-black), astatine (black).
- Aqueous solutions: chlorine (very pale green, often colourless), bromine (orange/yellow), iodine (brown).

Group VII – Reactivity & Displacement Reactions
- Reactivity decreases down the group (opposite to Group I).
- A more reactive halogen displaces a less reactive halogen from its halide solution.
- Chlorine displaces bromine from KBr: 2KBr(aq) + Cl₂(aq) → 2KCl(aq) + Br₂(aq) (orange colour).
- Chlorine displaces iodine from KI: brown colour of iodine appears.
- Bromine displaces iodine from KI: brown colour of iodine appears.
- No reaction occurs if the halogen is less reactive than the halide (e.g., iodine + KCl).

Transition Elements
- Transition elements are metals found in the centre of the Periodic Table (between Group 2 and 3).
- They are hard, strong, lustrous, and conduct heat and electricity; most have high melting points (except mercury).
- They form ions with different charges (e.g., Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺) and have variable oxidation states.
- They form coloured compounds (e.g., copper sulfate is blue, copper oxide is black).
- They are useful as catalysts (e.g., iron in the Haber process).
- Scandium and zinc are not considered transition elements as they have only one oxidation state and form colourless compounds.

Noble Gases
- Noble gases are in Group VIII; they are monatomic, colourless gases at room temperature.
- They have very low melting and boiling points and are unreactive (inert).
- Inertness is due to their full outer electron shells (e.g., He: 2, Ne: 2,8, Ar: 2,8,8).
- Full outer shells mean they have no tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons.
- They are used in lighting (neon signs) and as inert atmospheres (argon in welding).

Trends Summary
- Group I: reactivity increases down; melting point decreases; density increases (with early exception).
- Group VII: reactivity decreases down; melting/boiling point increases; colour darkens; density increases.
- Noble gases: all are unreactive; boiling points increase down the group (He lowest, Rn highest).
- Transition elements: high melting points, variable oxidation states, coloured compounds, catalytic activity.
