Increases down the group.

400

Describe what you would see if sodium was dropped into a tank of water.

Fizzing, moving around the surface, the metal melts into a ball, disappears.

500

Define the meaning of the word 'compound'.

A compound is always made up of two or more different types of atom chemically joined together.

Iron reacts with sulfur to make iron sulfide.

Describe how iron sulfide is different from its elements in terms of properties.

Iron sulfide is not magnetic like iron

500

Give a propertiy of the Group 1 elements that is NOT typical of a metal.

Brittle

Dull

Poor conductors of heat 

Poor conductors of electricity

Low density / soft
