Francium is an alkali metal with a single valence electron in its outer shell. It is highly reactive due to the instability caused by the large size of its atoms and the low ionization energy needed to remove the valence electron. Francium readily reacts with elements such as water, halogens, and oxygen to form various compounds. Due to its extreme rarity and radioactivity, Francium's reactivity has been mostly studied through theoretical calculations and predictions rather than direct experimentation.
No, francium is not highly explosive. It is a highly reactive alkali metal that can react violently with water, but it does not exhibit explosive properties like some other elements. Francium is only found in trace amounts in nature due to its extreme rarity and radioactivity.
Sodium and francium are elements. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, whereas compounds are substances composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together.
Francium is more reactive than sodium because it has a larger atomic radius and weaker binding energy, making it easier for francium atoms to lose their outermost electron. This results in francium being more willing to form bonds and react with other elements compared to sodium.
Francium is predicted to react with other elements in a similar manner to other alkali metals, due to its position in the periodic table. It is expected to be highly reactive, readily losing its single valence electron to form a +1 cation. However, due to its extreme rarity and radioactivity, its reactivity has not been extensively studied.
Francium is a highly reactive alkali metal that readily reacts with acids to produce francium salts and hydrogen gas. The reaction is very vigorous and can be explosive due to francium's extreme reactivity. Francium's scarcity and radioactivity make studying its reactions challenging.
The chemistry of francium is not known; it is probable that francium easy react with nonmetals.
The chemistry of francium is not known but it is supposed that francium can react with the majority of nonmetals.
The chemistry of francium is not known but it is supposed that francium can react with the majority of nonmetals.
The chemistry of francium is practically unknown.
No, francium is not highly explosive. It is a highly reactive alkali metal that can react violently with water, but it does not exhibit explosive properties like some other elements. Francium is only found in trace amounts in nature due to its extreme rarity and radioactivity.
The chemistry of francium is not known; it it supposed to be similar to caesium.
Yes
As other alkali metals francium can react with water; but unfortunately we don't have francium for this experiment !
The chemistry of francium is not known but it is supposed that francium can react with the majority of nonmetals.
Francium is similar to caesium.
The predictions are based on the supposition that francium is similar to caesium.
Yes, the elements in period 1, hydrogen and helium, are reactive, but their reactivity is limited compared to elements in other periods. Hydrogen can react with halogens and form hydrogen bonds, while helium is largely inert due to its stable electron configuration.
