Alkali metal is a term that refers to six elements: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
These elements make up group I of the Periodic Table of elements.
They all form singly-charged positive ions, and are extremely reactive.
They react violently with water, forming hydroxides and releasing hydrogen gas and heat.
Cesium and francium are the most reactive and lithium is the least.
What else can I help you with?
What are extremely reactive metals that combine with other elements called?
Highly reactive metals that easily combine with other elements are called alkali metals, like sodium and potassium. They react vigorously with water and oxygen.
What are the classes of elements on the periodic table?
non-metals .... alkali metals....transition metals....alkali earth metals....rare earth metals....other metals....halogens....inert elements
What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
What are theSections of the periodic table?
There are eight classifications of elements in the periodic table. They are: Non-metals, transition metals, rare earth metals, halogens, alkali metals, alkali earth metals, other metals and inert elements.
Why does group 1 elements prefer to combine with group 17 elements?
Group 1 elements (alkali metals) prefer to combine with Group 17 elements (halogens) because alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell, which they can easily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. Halogens, on the other hand, have seven electrons in their outer shell and can easily accept an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This electron transfer results in the formation of ionic compounds between alkali metals and halogens.
What is the other name for the group 1?
group one metal are also called alkali metals
Was the alkali metals are very stable and no react easily with other elements?
No.
Can uranium combine with other elements?
Uranium combine with the majority of other elements; also uranium has alloys with the majority of metals.
What other name can the group one and two elements be called?
Group 1: alkali metals Group 2: alkali earth metals
What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?
Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are so reactive that they are never found as uncombined elements in nature. They readily react with other elements to form compounds.
Are alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always found combined in nature?
They react easily. They combine with other elements to complete/fill their outer shell.
Which elements are more likely to react with other elements?
The alkali metals like sodium,pottasium etc.are very much reactive.Francium is so far the most reactive alkali metals.
