Part 2:
Equations:
Where reactions did occur, write full equations for the reactions of the oxides:
With water
With acid
With base
Conclusion: Describe how the nature of the oxide alters across the periodic table.
Describe how the nature of the element alters across the periodic table
You have to write out the reaction of your species with: water, acid, and base
Reactant Species( CaO, MgO, Al2O3, CO2) + water -----> Product
Reactant Species( CaO, MgO, Al2O3, CO2) + acid -----> Product
Reactant Species( CaO, MgO, Al2O3, CO2) + base -----> Product
Conclusion: What trends/differences/similarities do you observe as you go from the alkai earths to aluminum across the periodic table...what did you see....how do the elemnts cahnge across the periodic table.....your data will help you make this determination.
