Would a metal in the boron family or alkali metal be more reactive?
A metal in the alkali metal family has one valence electron where as a metal in boron family has three valence electrons. It is easy to remove one valence electrons than three. So alkali metals will be more reactive.
This alkali metal has 76 fewer electrons than francium?
cerium
How many electrons do alkali metal family have?
they all have a differnet number of electrons, but all have a charge of 1-
What types of atoms form positive ions?
atoms that belong to a metal element....because metals always loose electrons and gain a positive charge..!
How many valence electrons are present in rubidium?
Rubidium has one valence electron as it an alkali metal.
What is the alkali metal with two electrons in its plus 1 ion?
This alkali metal is lithium (Li).
Why is Francium the most reactive alkali metal?
because it has the most number of electrons in the alkali metal group
Does alkali earth metal lose electrons?
Yes. two electrons is lost.
Would a metal in the boron family or alkali metal be more reactive?
A metal in the alkali metal family has one valence electron where as a metal in boron family has three valence electrons. It is easy to remove one valence electrons than three. So alkali metals will be more reactive.
Does an atom of each alkali metal have seven valence electrons?
No, it does not.
This alkali metal has 76 fewer electrons than francium?
cerium
Is francium a lender giver or sharer of electrons?
Francium is an alkali metal that will lend electrons in an ionic compound.
How many electrons do alkali metal family have?
they all have a differnet number of electrons, but all have a charge of 1-
How does alkali metal link to electrons?
They all have one electron in their valency shell.
All elements in the ALKALI-METAL family have how many valence electrons?
One
What types of atoms form positive ions?
atoms that belong to a metal element....because metals always loose electrons and gain a positive charge..!
How many valence electrons are present in rubidium?
Rubidium has one valence electron as it an alkali metal.
