Barium is not a mineral, but is a chemical element. Barium, an alkaline metal, is quite reactive, and it is never found free in nature. Rather, it forms compounds that make up some minerals like barite, which is barium sulfate, and witherite, which is barium carbonate.
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
it is in the form of solid because it makes earth crust
Calcium in its normal state is a soft, silver-white metal that is quite reactive with air and water. It is typically found in the form of calcium carbonate in nature, as in limestone and chalk.
Yes, aluminum is reactive with other elements. Being a metal, it likes to give its outer electrons away to have an empty outer electron shell, and being in the 3A column, it has 3 electrons to give away, so it is quite reactive.
Since sodium is quite reactive it is always found in chemical combination with one or more other elements, most commonly chlorine. This is sodium chloride, the principal ingredient in common table salt.
Yes, alkali metals like sodium and potassium are found in nature. They are often found in minerals and salts, and they are quite reactive due to their tendency to lose one electron and form positive ions.
Of the metals listed, lithium is the most reactive. Lithium is an alkali metal with only one valance electron. This electron is easily lost in order to give lithium a stable noble gas configuration. Because of this tendency to lose an electron, lithium is quite reactive.
Sodium is actually quite reactive. It is a highly reactive metal that reacts vigorously with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Sodium is stored under oil to prevent it from coming into contact with air or moisture, which would lead to rapid oxidation and reaction.
No, it is a Group 7 element or halogen. This makes it a non metal. Non metals are often negatively charged. Groups 1, 2 3A and transitions are pretty much considered metal, and have something in common, a positive charge. Fluorine has a -1 charge, it prefers to take an electron to fill it's outer orbital
Chromium is considered to be non-reactive in its elemental form. However, it can exhibit varying levels of reactivity depending on its oxidation state. For example, hexavalent chromium compounds can be highly reactive and toxic, whereas trivalent chromium compounds are less reactive.
neon is a noble gas that will not react with anything -- any other element except helium is more reactive than neon! With lithium, quite a reactive metal, it is certainly more reactive than neon.
