Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.24QE
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The compound from group 1A that would burn red has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Alkali metals have a tendency to emit light and show their characteristic colors, when kept in light. The colors correspond to their line spectra. Flame test is a procedure that is used to detect the presence of elements in any unknown compound.

Until the early 1960s the group 8A elements were called the inert gases; before that they were called the rare gases. The term rare gases was dropped after it was discovered that argon accounts for roughly 1% of Earth’s atmosphere. (a) Why was the term inert gases dropped? (b) What discovery triggered this change in name? (c)What name is applied to the group now?
(a) Would you expect scandium oxide to be a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature?
