What are the group of soft silvery reactive metals known as?
alkali metals
What are very soft shiny metals with low melting points?
Alkali Metals
Is caesium a hard or soft metal?
its an alkali metal
Which element is soft solid?
All the alkali metals; the three heavier alkaline earth elements, calcium, strontium, and barium; and the white allotrope of phosphorus are all considered soft solids at room temperature.
An Element that is soft and silver colored is most likely to be?
The alkali metals (group 1) are all soft and silvery coloured when new.
What is the difference between alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
Alkali metals are from Group 1 of the Periodic table and have a single electron in their outer shell. Alkaline-Earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table and have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
Is lithium hard?
No, in comparison to the rest of the metals, lithium (as an alkali metal) would be called a soft metal. All the alkali metals could be cut with a knife, but still retain properties of metals.
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive and soft.
The what are soft metals that can be cut with a knife?
Alkali Metals are soft enough to be cut with a knife.Alkali Metals:LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCesiumFrancium
All metals are hard and have high melting points?
No, the alkali metals are pretty soft and the metals cesium, gallium, and mercury have very low melting points.
What are the physical features of alkali metals?
They are light, soft, silvery metals.
What are the group of soft silvery reactive metals known as?
alkali metals
What family has soft silver-white shiney metals?
These are the alkali metals.
How do the properties of the transition element compare with those of the alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
What is the Difference between soft and hard metals?
it is a common observation that metals of group 1 i.e., li,na,k,rb,cs and group 2,be,mg,ca,sr,ba are soft.similarly the metals of p-block elements in lower parts of groups are also soft but harder than alkali and alkaline earth which are s-block. the metals of d-and f-block elements are called hard metals.
What group of elements are soft silver-white and shiny metals?
These are the alkali metals.
Are alkali metals malleable?
No, they are soft but not very malleable compared with other metals.
