Question
Which metal will have a more explosive reaction with water one with a high ionization energy or one with a love ionization energy? Why? You have decided to investigate the ionization energies of the following alkali metals: K, Cs, Na, Li, Rb. What trend do you expect to see in their reaction with water? Rank the metals from least explosive to most explosive. Which one of the metals tested do you expect will be the best surface to easily eject electrons? You have decided that you do not need to test the alkaline earth metals (second column). Provide the abbreviated electron configuration for your chosen metal from above and the alkaline earth metal next to it. Using the configurations as reference, justify your decision not to test the metals in the second column. Before engineering the cell, you need to check the SDS for the element chosen in (3). Give one recommendation for engineering use provided in the Exposure Controls Personal Protection section for that metal.Explanation / Answer
2) Potassium(K) is more exploser reacted with water. The atomic radius decreases, that is, the atom is smaller. Ionization energy also decreases. while increases the size means ionization energy increses.
3) Ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in cloumn( Li<Na<K<Rb<Cs<Fr). When we are using the water,we done the degased water then that metals can not cauch fire.The ionization energy is a measure of the capability of an element to enter into chemical reactions requiring ion formation or donation of electrons.
4) The alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in column (group) 2 of the Periodic table. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra).
Structurally, they have in common an outer s- electron shell which is full;[2][3][4] that is, this orbital contains its full complement of two electrons, which these elements readily lose to form cations with charge +2, and an oxidation state(oxidation number) of +2.
In Alkaline earth metals, Atomic radius decreases in group from top to bottom and also the electronegativity decreases due to the longer distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, there by decreasing the attraction, making the atom have less of an attraction for electrons or protons.
5) Before using the chemical or elements check the properties of that chemical. Handling the chemicals at the time using the safe place( fume hood) and wearing the lab coat,gloves,gogules.
