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.
Do alkali metals contain 7 valence electrons?
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons are in alkali metals?
one valence electrons
What are the reactive elements on the periodic table?
Fluorine (F) is the most reactive element. It can react with almost anything.
How many valence electrons alkali metals have?
alkali metals have 1 electron in there outer valence shell. I remember that alkali and alkaline go with columns 1 & 2 of the periodic table alphabetically. Alkali then alkaline. Alkali metals have 1 valence electron. Alkaline metals have 2 valence electrons.
What type of metal such as sodium have a single valence electrons and are very reactive?
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.
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.
What term describes the reactive nonmetals that have seven valence electrons?
alkali earth metals
Which atoms are most reactive?
The most reactive elements have either 1 valence electron or 7 valence electrons
Do alkali metals contain 7 valence electrons?
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
What do the alkali group 1 metals have in common?
They are one valence electrons and are the most reactive group of metals in the periodic table.
Why is Francium the most reactive alkali metal?
because it has the most number of electrons in the alkali metal group
How many valence electrons are in alkali metals?
one valence electrons
What type of metals such as sodium have a single valence electron and very reactive?
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.
Why alkali and alkaline metal are very reactive among periodic table?
Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals have 1 and 2 valence electrons respectively. If they lose these electrons, they will get the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas (stable octet configuration) and hence they are very reactive.
What are the reactive elements on the periodic table?
Fluorine (F) is the most reactive element. It can react with almost anything.
Alkali metals are extremely reactive because?
because they have one valence electron that is easily removed to form a positive ion.
