      Your lithium is passivated with a layer of lithium nitride, that's why it's black/violet and not metallic. Lithium needs to be stored under argon, not nitrogen. I wonder if this would effect the reactivity much, or just the induction time

    For anyone who wants to know more, the bases that are causing the dye to change are from hydroxide(OH) compounds of their respective metals (LiOH, NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)2) These compounds dissociate in water and split into their ions (metal+ and OH-). the OH- concentration outnumbering the H+ is what defines something as a base. Some compounds dissociate more than others, but from what I know the bases listed here are strong bases making the resulting solution highly basic and definitely should not be touched with bare hands.

    There's a latency period where the metal takes time to react with the water. I dont know whether the technician dried the metals of their hydrocarbon "shield" before dropping them in water. Also, all of the metlas except calcium floated on water because of their density which is less than water but calcium sank until it created enough bubbles around it to become boyant. The heavier metals tend to be more reactive with water once they get going and that is what we see.

      @@jonslg240 I assume this is because the sodium reaction produces a sufficient amount of H gas to create a sort of friction-free gas cushion between it and the surface of the water. When the part of the sodium nearest to the water reacts and loses mass, the top half becomes heavier and raises the center of mass, causing it to flip easily in the absence of any sort of friction. So since the most massive part of the metal will always be the part on the bottom losing mass, the result is a spherical shape

    "The more electro-negative an element is the less it has metallic character"
    "Electro-negativity is inversely proportional to metallic character "
    When we go down the group electro-negativity decreases therefore metallic character increases while across the period electro-negativity increases therefore metallic character decreases.Li,Na,k are in a same group and in 2,3,4 period respectively while k and Ca are in same period.So we can clearly say that K will have the least electro-negativity hence will be the most metallic element out of all the four element thats why it reacted fastest. Now if we need to compare metallic characters of other element from the above information we can say that metallic character of Li is less then Na. But how do we compare Li and Na with Ca? For that we need to memorize electro-negativity of the elements. According to Paulie's measurement electro-negativity of :- Li =1,Na=0.9,k=0.8,Ca=1.2
    So from the above information we can now arrange them in increasing electro-negative [Ca>Li>Na>k]
    Therefore increasing metallic character will be [k>Na>Li>ca] and we can clearly see this in the video that K reacted very vigorously while Ca reacted less .

    • @frozenyogurth
      @frozenyogurth 2 года назад +2

      Also something to add: As Potassium is in a lower period, it has more shells. So the outer most electrons experience in comparison to lithium less attraction from the nucleus, which means the valence electrons of Potassium can interact more easily with the valence electrons of other molecules, like water. So it reacts mor intensily than lithium.
