Why are alkaili metals the most reactive elements in the periodic table?
Because to be stable they need 8 atoms on outermost shell.Alkali need 7 so are highly reactive.
Does hydrogen react with metals?
Hydrogen react with metals and hydrides are formed.
Why hydrogen included in all metals?
Hydrogen is not a metal; IUPAC don't include hydrogen between metals.
What is the metal element in hydrogen sulfide?
Hydrogen sulfide is H2S and has no metals. Both hydrogen and sulphur are non metals.
Do acids make hydrogen when they react with some metals?
When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.
What is the name of the group IA elements?
Alkali Metals
Why do metals replace hydrogen from acid but non metals do not?
This is because metals have positive ions and so does hydrogen. Hence the nature of their reactivity is same but the value of reactivity is different. Therefore metals replace hydrogen in a reaction while non metals dont...
Do non metals liberate hydrogen gas from dilute. acids?
No. Metals liberate hydrogen gas from acids.
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.
What gas is produced when metals react with an acid?
Hydrogen
Who reacts with metal bases or acids?
Acids react with metals. Metals are themselves basic in nature. Metals displaces hydrogen from acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
