Do you get bored at home in your free time? Well if you do then you can follow these thrilling practicals and learn about the fascinating,interesting science behind them. You can do them with friends or even family. For example it would be extremely exciting to create a compound at home or even reacting bromine with an acid where you will create colourful oscillations.

Group 1 elements also known as the alkali metals increase in reactivity down the group.When group 1 elements are placed in water they violently react to form a hydrogen gas so they are an alkaline solution. The more reactive the metal, the more intense the reaction will be. This is because the energy given out through the reaction much is higher as you go down group 1. However because some of the metals are very reactive, they must be kept in oil which is covered so no explosions occur such as francium.In everyday life lithium can be used in batteries and as a lubricant,it is generally more common because it is the least reactive of the group.
The equation is sodium+water- sodium hydroxide+hydrogen.

Method:

Step 1 (optional)-If you have chosen to use all three of the elements you can draw a results table to show how the different metals react.

Step 2-Gather your equipment; which includes a beaker containing 500ml of water,5 grams of potassium or you can also use lithium or sodium (but they are less reactive),safety goggles,spatula and it should be completed outside on a flat surface.

Step 3-Before coming into contact with the metals you should put on safety googles.

Step 4-Using a spatula place a small amount of the metal into the the water and capture the excitement of the reaction.

Step 5(optional)-Complete you results table and analyse what you find out.
