Sodium Group

The sodium phenylcarbonate so produced then undergoes rearrangement on heating the carboxy-sodium group wanders to the nucleus ... 

The definition of the sea boundary of the mouth area is related to the term mouth-mixing zone. Water salinity within this zone increases from the salinity inherent in river water (usually 0.2-0.5%o) to the salinity of seawater (usually 10-40%o in different seas). The salt composition of water radically changes within the mixing zone river water of hydrocarbonate class and calcium group transforms into seawater of chloride class and sodium group. 

If we consider the vertical columns instead of the horizontal rows, we find elements with similar chemical properties listed one below the other. Group I, for example, includes hydrogen and the alkali metals like lithium and sodium. Group III includes scandium, yttrium and all the lanthanide and actinide elements.

Some technological aspects of the process are worth comment. Formylation (a) is catalyzed by the Rh(I) complex of tris(3-sulfophenyl)phosphine trisodium salt (TPPTS). Ligand solubilizes the Rh(I) complex in water because of the presence of three sulfonyl sodium groups, and its high stability enables high turnover of the catalytic cycle. n-Butanal is insoluble in water and separates as the upper layer, while the aqueous layer that contains catalysts can be reused in the process. 

Notice the trends in the first, second, and third ionization energies of sodium (group 1 A) and magnesium (group 2 A), as shown at left. 

The electrical conductivity increases across the metals of Period 3 from sodium (Group 1) to aluminium (Group 13). The electrical conductivity then drops dramatically to silicon, which is described as a semiconductor, and falls even further to the non-metallic insulators phosphorus and sulfur.
