Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are found in nature in various compounds, but they are not typically found in their pure form. They are highly reactive and readily react with other elements to form compounds.
group 1 and group 17 are the most reactive groups
Yes, rubidium is a pure element found in nature. It is an alkali metal and is the 16th most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Rubidium is most commonly obtained as a byproduct of lithium production or extracted from certain minerals.
Not possible, they are so reactive that they will combine instantly with nearly anything they contact.
Neptunium does not occur in nature.
Metals in the first group are Alkali Metals. Their group number is one. They are reactive. They don't occur freely in nature. They are soft, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Cesium and Francium are the most reactive metals in this group. Also, these metals explode when exposed to water.
There are variety of such elements. They have not been found on earth's surface.
Group 1A elements are active metals. They are so active that they are never found free in nature. They are usually stored in oil. They form compounds with oxygen that dissolve in water to give solutions that are alkaline or caustic. They are called alkali metals, or simply the alkalis.
Alkali metals are in the first column of the periodic table, but do not include Hydrogen. The alkali metal family is composed of Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium. An example of an alkali metal is Sodium (Na).
