We watched videos showing various alkali metals and their reactivities in water. Explain why reactivity of alkali metals increases as one moves from top to bottom of the periodic table. You must describe two periodic trends to support your explanation.
Atomic radii increases going down the group because more electrons occupy more orbitals, which causes ionization energy to decrease going down the group because the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus and are therefore more easily removed. This causes reactivity to increase going down the group

Sodium, a reactive metal, and chlorine, a poisonous gas, can be combined to form table salt. Using chemistry terminology, discuss the formation of table salt and explain why this new substance is mostly non-reactive. Be sure to include the chemical names and formulas of everything involved in the reaction - this includes ions and neutral substances. (4 points - all or nothing)
Sodium, Na, loses an electron to form Na+. (1 point)
Chlorine, Cl, gains an electron to form Cl-. (1 point)
Na+ and Cl- are attracted to each other (1 point)
and make the neutral compound, NaCl, called sodium chloride (1 point)

Explain why some VSEPR shapes have smaller bond angles, even though they have the same number of electron densities.
lone pairs of electrons occupy more space around the atom
so they will push the neighbors farther away
