You are trying to determine the volume of the balloon needed to match the density of the air in the lab. you know that if you can get the balloon's density below this value, it will float. you measure both the temperature in the room as well as the mass of the balloon you will use and find they are 18.0°c and 0.577 grams, respectively. what volume of balloon will generate a density equal to that of the air around it? (hint: use the relationship you calculated above to determine the air density at the temperature given) balloon volume needed = equation from problem 1 : y = -0.0043x + 1.2874

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
