Metals Lab 1. Question: How reactive are family one metals? 2. Research: Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K) are family one metals they are make up of atoms that contain only on valence electron. Since these elements only have one valence electron, they are extremely reactive. Magnesium is a family two metal. Family 2 metals (2 valence electrons) are not as reactive as family one metals, but they are still very reactive. 3. Hypothesis: If we place a 1g piece of a family one metal into a beaker filled with water, then I think it will react with the water and have some kind of explosion. 4. Materials and Procedures: - 400 mL.
