What happens to the chemical reactivity of alkali metals as you increase atomic numbers?
The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase when the atomic number increase.
How many valence electrons alkali metals have?
alkali metals have 1 electron in there outer valence shell. I remember that alkali and alkaline go with columns 1 & 2 of the periodic table alphabetically. Alkali then alkaline. Alkali metals have 1 valence electron. Alkaline metals have 2 valence electrons.
Is beryllium alkali metal or alkaline earth metal?
It is an alkaline earth element
What periodic trends of reactivity occur with the alkali metals?
Reactivity increases the farther down you go in the Periodic Table.
Do alkali metals react slower or faster than alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
How does the reactivity of an alkaline earth metal compare with that of alkali metal in the same period?
The alkali metals are more reactive.
Why is Potassium an Alkaline Earth Metal?
Potassium is not an alkaline earth metal, it is an alkali metal. The metals in the leftmost column of the periodic table. They are noted for their high reactivity and for the fact that most of their compounds are basic.
Is the alkali metal more reactive than an alkaline-earth metal?
Yes, alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline-earth metals. All atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Alkali metals have to give one electron away, where as alkaline-earth metals need to give two away which is less energetically favorable.
What makes an alkali an alkaline?
If something is an alkali, it is already alkaline! It's just two ways of saying the same thing... That is an alkali That is ALKALINE.
Is seawater alkali?
Yes, if perhaps you mean "alkaline" or "base"? According to Wikipedia, "Seawater pH is limited to the range 7.5 to 8.4.", making it slightly base or alkaline. Alkali refers to a chemical that is an alkaline salt soluble in water.
How many Alkaline and Alkali Metals are there?
Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.
Alkali metal reactivity?
the reactivity increases as you go down the group
Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Is ammonia alkali?
Amonia is an alkaline gas. However, when dissolved in water it form an alkaline solution (alkali).
Is ammonia solution acidic or alkali?
Alkaline!!!!
Are corrosive and alkaline both alkaline?
alkali are corrosive
What happens to the chemical reactivity of alkali metals as you increase atomic numbers?
The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase when the atomic number increase.
