Two solids, A and B, are located in the same family on the periodic table. A sample of each is placed in a beaker of HCL. Substance A produces few bubbles, while substance B bubbles vigorously.

What do the bubbles indicate? (chemical reaction?)

where the substances are located in relation to one another on the periodic table and the activity series? (B is lower than A, and more reactive)

The name of the family the substances could be in?

What substance will have a larger atomic radius? (B?)

What substance will have a larger ionization energy?
