A metal is a base and is an alkali
Alkali
Zirconium is a solid metal, not an acid or alkali.
No. Sulfuric acid is an acid. The alkali metals are metallic elements.
Definitely not, it's an Alkali metal
Remember the general acid reactions. Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + water Acid + Carbonate = Salt +Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
its definitley not acid Some metals are called alkali metals or alkaline earth metals because they often form alkaline compounds; but metals are not alkali or acids.
acid
Sodium metal produces sodium hydroxide in water which is a very strong alkali
acid
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.
I presume your meaning when you react an alkali metal in an acid to release H2 gas. Your left in that case with Water & a salt Regards
