HI LAURA. we got Married last Year in Sri Lanka then did the Maldives , Dubai bit and all i can say was IT WAS FANTASIC check out some Photos i posted and please contact me for phone Number if you wish a chat or any imformation.
Group 2 elements, the Alkaline earth metals, become a +2 ion, and combine to make (OH)2 metal hydroxides. Any element in the first column (Group 1) of the periodic table will react violently with water. They get more explosive as you go down the column, so that means lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium will be more reactive, in that order. The elements in the second column (Group2) react less violently with water. And like the Group 1 elements, their reactivity increases as we go down the column. <br /><br />When added to water the Group 1 elements, the Alkali metals, becomes a +1 ion, and the water forms OH- (creating the metal hydroxide) and H2 gas.
The metal belongs to the alkali group on the periodic table. Light enough to float on water, potassium has an instant reaction when it comes into contact with the fluid. Adding potassium to water causes an instant chemical reaction that results in the temperature of the metal rising so high that it ignites. Hydrogen gas from the reaction coming into contact with oxygen in the air is what causes the potassium to catch fire. The metal then glows with a pale, lilac flame. The chemical reaction of potassium with water forms a potassium hydroxide solution that has no color along with the hydrogen gas.
