Na
Atomic Mass 22.99 amu Atomic Number 11
Melting Point 97.72 C Boiling Point 883 C
Density 0.971 g/cm3

Sodium
Compounds 1.) Sodium Chloride makes common
table salt 2.) Soda Ash is made up of sodium,
carbon, and oxygen. 3.) Baking Soda is made up
of hydrogen, sodium, carbon, and oxygen.
  • Positive Attributes Metallic sodium is vital in
    the manufacture of esters and in the preparation
    of organic compounds. The metal may also be used
    to improve the structure of certain alloys.
  • Negative Attributes Sodium is potentially
    explosive in water (depending on quantity) and is
    a caustic poison, since it is rapidly converted
    to Sodium Hydroxide on contact with moisture.
  • Chemical Description
  • Valence Electrons One
  • Ion Na1
  • Oxidation Number 1
  • Reactivity Very Reactive

Rubidium
  • Rubidium was born in 1861 by Bunsen and Kirchoff
    in the mineral lepidolite by use of the
    spectroscope.
  • Gender Metal
  • Physical 37 Protons, 37 Electrons, 48 Neutrons.
  • Density 1.532 g/cm3 Boiling point 688 C Melting
    point 39.3 C Specific Heat . 363J g-1 K-1
    Heat of vaporization 72.216 kJ mol-1
  • Chemical Description 1 Valence electron, ion 1,
    oxidation number 1, Very reactive.
  • Compounds Halides, oxides, sulfides.
  • Positive Attributes carries small amounts of
    nutrients to the bodies organs.
  • Negative Attributes Women who are nursing or
    pregnant should, as a precaution, refrain from
    taking rubidium supplements unless having first
    talked with their physician.

Cesium
  • Chemical Description
  • Valence Electrons One
  • Ion Cs1
  • Oxidation Number 1
  • Reactivity Very Reactive

Compounds 1.) Cesium Graphite where the metal
atoms position themselves between the planes of
carbon atoms in the graphite crystal structure.
2.) Cesium Nitrate is used as oxidizer to burn
Silicon in infrared flares like the LUU-19 flare.
3.) Cesium Fluoride is widely used in organic
chemistry as a base.
  • Positive Attributes Can be used as a catalyst in
    the hydrogenation of certain organic compounds.
    Also removes air traces in vacuum tubes.
  • Negative Attributes Liquid at room temperature.

Francium
  • Francium was born in 1939 by Mlle. Marguerite
    Perey of the Curie institute, Paris.
  • Gender Metal
  • Physical Description 87 Protons, 87 Elections,
    136 Neutrons
  • Boiling point 677 C, Melting point 27 C
  • Chemical Description 1 Valence electron, 1 ion,
    1 oxidation number, Very reactive.
  • Because Francium is so rare its chemical and
    physical properties are not known.
