EduNinjaCAIE IGCSE Chemistry Extended 8.2 Group I properties question practice helps you revise this syllabus point with the course map in view. Use this page to focus on one topic, check the style of questions available, and connect each attempt back to the knowledge area it is testing.
EduNinja keeps Chemistry practice aligned to CAIE at Extended level, so you can move from topic review into exam-style question bank work without losing the syllabus structure. Start with a small set, mark the weak steps, then return to nearby topic links when a definition, graph, calculation, or explanation needs repair.
Some elements are shown in the order they appear in the reactivity series. The most reactive element is at the top.
> sodium calcium magnesium aluminium zinc iron hydrogen copper

Rubidium, Rb, is a Group I element. It has similar physical and chemical properties to the other elements in Group I.
Predict two physical properties of rubidium which are different to those of a transition element such as iron.
When rubidium is added to cold water a reaction occurs.
Put the Group I elements, caesium, lithium, potassium, rubidium and sodium in their order of reactivity with water. Put the most reactive element first.
