6. Which of the following test tubes a) (5 Points) would have the fastest rate of reaction? Defend your answer.
b) (5 Points) would have the slowest rate of reaction? Defend your answer.
0.1 M
AgNO,
0.1 M
AgNO
1 M
AgNO.
Zinc
powder
Solid
zinc
Zinc
powder

a. zinc because it is on top of them all in the reactive series so it reacts faster .

b. Ag because it is on the bottom of the reactive series and its reacts slow

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
