How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
What tendency do alkali metals react with other substances?
Among the alkali metals, the tendency to react with other substances increases form top to bottom within the group.Accompanying link shows the reaction from lithium through to cesium
Do Alkali earth metals react with oxygen?
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Was the alkali metals are very stable and no react easily with other elements?
No.
Which metals does not react with water?
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Why are group 1 metals knowns as alkali metals?
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
What elements react the best with the alkali metals?
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
Which elements are more likely to react with other elements?
The alkali metals like sodium,pottasium etc.are very much reactive.Francium is so far the most reactive alkali metals.
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
What are some characteristics of alkali metals?
Alkali Metals: the alkali metals are found in the first group of the periodic table, Alkali metals are very reactive metals and they are not freely in their nature, alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell. therefore alkali metals are ready to loose that one electron for bonding with other elements, alkali metals are good conductor of electricity and heat. they are soft in nature than other metals.The Alkali Metals are:lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium cesium, francium
