What are alkails in?
Alkali metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr. Alkali compounds: hydroxides.
What alkali metals are insoluble?
Unfortunately, we must also address the matter of ambiguous terminology. Alkali may mean the alkali metals, lithium, sodium, potassium, etc. It may also mean the high pH (alkaline) compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide (lye), etc, characteristic of compounds of alkali metals.
How do alkali metals form compounds?
The alkali metals are Lthe group 1 elements are Lithium, Li; sodium, Na; Potassium, K Rubidium, Rb;Caesium, Cs and francium, Fr. They form ionic compounds where they are all have single positive charges.
Why is group 1 metals called alkali metals?
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?
Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
Is potassium an alkali?
Potassium is an element. Alkalis are compounds, so no it is not an alkali.
What does sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide have in common?
Both of these compounds are strong alkali. Both of these are hydroxides of alkali metals. Both of these compounds dissolve in water vigorously.
Which is an example of an alkali metal that does NOT exist independently in nature or in the laboratory?
All alkali metals exist in nature as compounds.
Is iron hydroxide an alkali?
Yes, iron hydroxides are basic compounds (the term alkali has different meanings in different languages).
What are alkails in?
Alkali metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr. Alkali compounds: hydroxides.
Potassium iodate covalent or ionic bond?
It is ionic. All alkali metal compounds (potassium being an alkali metal) are ionic.
Is a metal an acid or alkali?
its definitley not acid Some metals are called alkali metals or alkaline earth metals because they often form alkaline compounds; but metals are not alkali or acids.

Why is group 1 metals called alkali metals?
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
Is rubidium and calcium an ionic compound?
Rubidium (an alkali metal) does not form compounds or ionic bonds with calcium (an alkaline earth metal). The two each form compounds with several of the same elements (e.g. chloride, carbonate, nitrate).
Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?
Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
