What reactive metals will produce a spark when they are struck?
Reactive Metals
Are Group 8A element unreactive elements known as transition metals?
Group 8A, also known as group 18, are very non-reactive. However, they are all gases, not transition metals. Transition metals are the large family of elements in the middle of the table in between groups 2 and 13 (2A and 3A). Group 8A are the noble gases.
How many reactive metals are there?
All metals are reactive, and there are 91 different metals on the periodic table.
What are the main properties of the transition metals?
The main properties of Transition metals are: hard and shinny, good cunducters of electricity, less reactive than metals in groups 1 and 2.
Are gold and platinum reactive metals?
Gold and platinum are less reactive metals but not absolutely non-reactive.
Are transition metals more reactive than alkali metals?
no
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are called?
I believe that the answer you are looking for is Transition Metals.
Why are alkali metals more reactive than transitional metals?
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
Are transition metals nonmetals?
Yes, transition metals are known to be stable. This is because, both, their ions and compounds are also considered to be stable.
Is noble gases metals that are more reactive than the transition elements but less reactive than the alkali metals?
No, the noble gasses are nonmetals that are less reactive than all other elements.
Is it true that transition metals are less reactive than the metals in group one and two of the periodic table?
True
What generalizations can you make about transition metals?
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )
Why is the magnesium the most reactive metal among silver copper lead zinc and iron?
magnesium is an alkaline earth metal. silver, copper, lead, zinc, and iron are transition metals. alkaline earths are naturally more reactive then transition metals.
Why are transition metals not as reactive as alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
transition elements are not as reactive as alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.. this is so because of the valence electronic configurations. alkali metals have ns1 configurations which have easy chances of loosing electrons so as to gain the stable state. Attaining a stable state is the law of nature. hence to attain it they have to redily donate electron. this is not so easily possible for the transition elements..
Are transition metals on the periodic table reactive?
yes, they are less reactive than group 1 and 2. These metals hardly react with air or water at all whereas Group 1 and 2 metals tarnish quickly and react with water

Why most of the transition metal not displace hydrogen in acid?
because some metals are less reactive than hydrogen.
