Alkali metals
Describe group 1 physical properties, outer electrons, ion formation and safe storage.
Describe lithium, sodium and potassium water reactions, observations and balanced product equations.
Predict group 1 reactivity trends and explain electron loss using shells, distance and shielding.
Halogen properties
Describe halogen diatomic molecules, colours, states and trends in melting and boiling points.
Use temperature data to predict halogen states and physical properties of other group members.
Describe metal-halide and hydrogen-halide formation and the damp-litmus test for chlorine.
Halogen reactivity
Predict halogen displacement reactions and use observations to compare reactivity.
Explain decreasing halogen reactivity using attraction for an incoming electron, shells and shielding.
Explain halogen displacement by electron transfer and identify oxidised and reduced species (Higher).
Noble gases
Explain noble-gas low reactivity and monatomic particles using full outer shells, including helium.
Link noble-gas uses to low density, non-flammability and low reactivity.
Describe and predict noble-gas boiling-point and density trends from atomic size.
