What else can I help you with?
Possible questions to ask about metals?
you could be asked about any thing including the metals propitys on the periodic table but there are also other questions like 'what do alkali metals react with'
How are Group one of the periodic table different from any other?
Group-1 are alkali metals. They are highly metallic. Their valence electron is 1. They loose 1 electron to form cations.
What are elements in the first group called?
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.
What are the reactions with alkali metals and water like?
1) Alkali metals are stored in oil to minimise reaction with oxygen or water, it's a physical barrier towards air but the alkali metals still gradually corrode a traces of oxygen and water diffuse through. The reaction of alkali metals with water gets more violent for elements lower in the group e.g. (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs). Adding them to water will cause an explosion due to the extremely exothermic nature of reaction, and can be rather dangerous and some alkali metals can react violently with just moisture in the air. Most of the alkali metals float on the top of the water, depending on how big the alkali metal is determines the size of the reaction this is because they're less dense that water itself and also during the reaction the alkali metals give of hydrogen gas which is quite flammable. Alkali Metal + Water » Metallic Hydroxide + Hydrogen The francium would be like any other alkali metal, it would be very violent like the other alkali metals.
Why are the alkali metals never used as a structural material?
Alkali metals tend to react quite violently with water, so if it rained any structure built out of them would be destroyed.
What product is formed when alkali metals are heated with oxygen?
Improve Alkali Metal + Water ------> Alkali Hydroxide + Hydrogen Alkali Metal Oxide + Water ------> Alkali Hydroxide + Water
How alkali metals reacts with water?
This is the generic reaction where "M" could represent any of the alkali metals.2M + 2H2O --> 2MOH + H2This really does not help anybody... at all. I asked for the metal not the formula
Does sodium belong to any famous groups e.g. coinage metals noble gases etc?
Sodium belongs to the Alkali metals
Is hydrogen a alkali metal or alkaline metal?
Alkali metals can be substituted for hydrogen. Any of them. They include lithim (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are in group one of the periodic table of the elements, and are all stacked up in the column below hydrogen. All the alkali metals are all organized with a lone electron in their outer most shell, or valence shell (in the neutral atom) and all of the alkali metals would like to loan out that electron to anything that would like to borrow it. It turns out that the reactivity of alkali metals are least to greatest from the top of the column to the bottom. This is because of electron screening. A link to our friends at Wikipedia is provided.
What happens when any of the alkali metals react to chlorine?
You would get an chemical form of salt or you can say alkali metal salt.
Definition of alkali metal?
Alkali metals are a group of chemical elements found in Group 1 of the periodic table (such as lithium, sodium, potassium) with similar chemical properties. They have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them highly reactive and likely to form compounds with other elements. Alkali metals are soft, shiny, and good conductors of electricity.
What metal is very reactive and kept under oil?
Any of the alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.
