The metal itself, no. But after reacting with water or something containing water it produces a very strong base.
A metal is a base and is an alkali
Bases are substances that react with acids and neutralize them. They are usually metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates or metal hydrogen carbonates. Many bases are insoluble - they do not dissolve in water.If a base does dissolve in water, we call it an alkali.
the solubility of alkali metal bases is more than the solubility of alkaline metal bases. thus the reaction: base=metal ion + OH- occus faster. since the more the OH ions the stronger the base, alkali metal bases are stronger than alkaline metal bases
it is an alkali metal
Lithium is a metal, if reacted with water, it will create lithium hydroxide, a strong base.
Metal oxide is the ionic bond combination of any metal element of the periodic table of elements with oxygen. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals are respectively the first and second columns of elements found on the periodic table. Thus, alkali metal oxides and earth metal oxides are types of metal oxides, but metal oxide does not imply alkali.
An alkali is a soluble base. Therefore, alkaline solutions are sources of hydroxide ions, OH- . A base is a proton acceptor, so the alkaline solution will neutralise an acid.
alkali you idiots
Sodium is an alkali metal.
The alkali metal, sodium, is an element.
It is a alkali metal for sure.
