Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
Several gasses can react with metals, but due to the fact that you are asking for a single gas, the most likely answer that you will be looking for is Oxygen. Oxygen reacts with many metals (and non-metals).
It does not belong to any; it is simply a nonmetal.
They are the Alkali Metals, Alkaline Metals, Transition Metals, Metalloids, Halogens, and the Noble (Inert) Gases. There is also the lanthanide and actinide series which are known as the Rare Earth Metals.
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
First group elememts are called alkali metal because they are highle reactive metal and they produce hydrogen gas as a result of any reaction. they have only one valence electron that is why they can react vigorously with any metal and they are called alkali because they form easily soluble base.
Alkali metals oxides are the result of these reactions.
Nope. They are gasses.
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.

Nobles gasses will not react with metals or most nonmetals. Only a few noble gasses compounds exits, and none exist naturally. Noble gasses will only form compounds with fluorine and oxygen.
There are many non metals that are found in nature. These non metals include all gasses like oxygen and hydrogen.
1. Alkali metals are soft and highly reactive. 2. They have low melting points and densities.
