Difficulties in Interpreting Alkali Metal Trends at the Senior Chemistry Level.
de Berg, Kevin
Australian Science Teachers' Journal, v47 n4 p47-48 Nov 2001
Explores the reasons for the differences in alkali metal reactivity in water in terms of thermodynamics rather than ionization trends. Shows that differences in alkali metal reactivity with water are more appropriately explained in terms of the kinetics of the reactions. (MM)
