Is Hydrogen oxide acid or alkali?

Hydrogen oxide is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is water, which is a neutral substance.


When an alkali metal reacts with water it produces what?

When an alkali metal reacts with water, it produces an alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This is a highly exothermic reaction, with the alkali metal displacing hydrogen from the water molecule.


In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?

Hydrogen shares some properties with alkali metals, particularly in its ability to lose one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge like alkali metals. However, hydrogen is a nonmetal and not a metal like the alkali metals.


Which was the first alkali metal?

hydrogen


What has only 1 electron and behaves like an alkali?

There is no metal like you describe in your question. Hydrogen is in Group 1, but is not an alkali metal. It is a gas at standard temperature. It does rarely behave like an alkali metal, and it does have only one electron. Hydrogen is in Group 1 primarily because of its electron configuration, which is 1s1. All of the alkali metals also have one electron in their outermost s orbital.


What reacts with an alkali to produce hydrogen gas?

When an alkali metal like sodium or potassium reacts with water, it produces hydrogen gas. This reaction is highly exothermic and can be violent. The alkali metal displaces hydrogen from water molecules, leading to the formation of hydrogen gas and the corresponding metal hydroxide.


What is the group that hydrogen is in?

Hydrogen is a non-metal; it's in group VII


Why hydrogen is placed above alkali metals and not above non metals in modern periodic table?

The electron configuration of hydrogen is similar with that of alkali metals.


Does hydrogen behave like an alkali metal?

Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.


Why hydrogen is placed in alkali metals or in first group of modern periodic table?

As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.


How is hydrogen done?

For example hydrogen is released when alkali metals react with water.


What element of group 1 is not known as an alkali metal?

Hydrogen is in group 1 but is not an alkali metal.
