Worked Solution & Example Answer:There are many metallic elements in the periodic table - Edexcel - GCSE Chemistry - Question 3 - 2014 - Paper 1
Step 1
Which row of the table correctly shows two metals that are in group 1 and two metals that are transition metals?
Answer
To correctly answer this question, we need to identify two metals from Group 1 and two metals from the transition metals section. Group 1 elements include lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium. From the given options:
- Option A: lithium (Group 1) and zinc (not in Group 1); calcium and copper (copper is a transition metal but calcium is not).
- Option B: potassium (Group 1) and caesium (Group 1); copper (transition metal) and iron (transition metal).
- Option C: sodium (Group 1) and potassium (Group 1); copper (transition metal) and magnesium (not a transition metal).
- Option D: sodium (Group 1) and magnesium (not a transition metal); manganese and nickel (both are transition metals).
Thus, the correct answer is Option B: potassium and caesium (Group 1) and copper and iron (transition metals).
