Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 8.13 Group 1 and 2 element reactions
Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 8.13 Group 1 and 2 element reactions
Identify the expected oxide, chloride or hydroxide and hydrogen, balance the equation, add states and keep observations separate from inferred products.
How this is tested
- Write balanced equations with states for Group 1 or 2 metals reacting with water or oxygen.
- State visible observations such as fizzing, movement, dissolving or precipitate formation.
- Identify products such as hydroxides, oxides or lithium nitride from the reaction context.
