Why group 2A are called the alkali earth metals?

The name "Alkali" is given due to the alkaline nature of their oxides and hydroxides. The term "Alkali Earth Metals" is used as these metals are usually found as minerals in the Earth's crust.


Why are elkali metals such as sodium not found in nature as elements?

What are some characteristics of alkali metals?

Alkali Metals: the alkali metals are found in the first group of the periodic table, Alkali metals are very reactive metals and they are not freely in their nature, alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell. therefore alkali metals are ready to loose that one electron for bonding with other elements, alkali metals are good conductor of electricity and heat. they are soft in nature than other metals.The Alkali Metals are:lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium cesium, francium


Why are neither the alkali metals nor the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?

Because these metals are very reactive and readily form compounds.


Are alkali metals found in their uncmobined form?
