How are alkali metals different from alkaline metals?
The alkali metals are generally more reactive than the alkaline earth metals. They form 1+ ions while the alkaline earth metals form 2+ ions. Alkali metal compounds tend to be more soluble in water than alkaline earth metals.
Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
What is one physical differrence between transition metals and poor metals?
Transition metals tend to have very high melting points.
3 characteristics for rare earth metals?
Rare earth metals tend to be soft and goldish in color.
What do non metals and metals tend to do?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic compounds by forming ionic bonds when they combine.
What do metals tend to do?
they tend to be very good conductors
When metals form ions they tend to do so by?
When metals form ions, they tend to do so by losing their electrons to gain a positive charge. Losing negatively charged electrons causes the metals to become more positive due to having more protons.
Of metals and nonmetals which tend to form positive ions?
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
How are alkali metals different from alkaline metals?
The alkali metals are generally more reactive than the alkaline earth metals. They form 1+ ions while the alkaline earth metals form 2+ ions. Alkali metal compounds tend to be more soluble in water than alkaline earth metals.
What is the difference between heavy metals and the other metals?
Scientifically speaking, there are a couple of fundamental differences between heavy metals and other metals in the table of the elements. Heavier metals tend to have more ions and typically, less toxic elements.
Elements that are usually malleable and shiny are?
There several elements tend to be malleable and shiny. Some of them include potassium, sodium, lithium and many more.
Nonmetals during a chemical combinations tend to do what?
Non-metals during a chemical combinations tend to gain electrons. Metals in chemical reactions will tend to lose their electrons easily.
Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
Are non metals high density?
No, metals are denser. They have a more tightly packed crystal lattice structure. Their nuclei tend to be more massive and can be more tightly packed due to their electrons being delocalized.
